As a student I learned from wonderful teachers and ever since then I've thought everyone is a teacher.

I thought it was respectful to each country to sing in their language.

King thought he understood the white Southerner, having been born and reared in Georgia and trained a theologian.

I never thought I would live long enough to see the legal profession change to the extent it has.

When I was 15, I decided I wanted to be a lawyer. No one thought this was a good idea.

If we hope and even assume that the social question will be answered through communism, and not in this or that country but in the world, any thought of centralization must be a monstrosity.

I thought it was quite vain to say, I want to be a model.

My dad had this philosophy that if you tell children they're beautiful and wonderful then they believe it, and they will be. So I never thought I was unattractive. But I was never one of the girls at school who had lots of boyfriends.

I went back to Belfast and started a club, the Maritime. No one had thought about doing a blues club, so I was the first.

I always looked upon the acts of racist exclusion, or insult, as pitiable, from the other person. I never absorbed that. I always thought that there was something deficient about such people.

In the later books I am much more at home in the use of language to describe things. I had never thought of that until a critic pointed that out.
