I didn't wake up and decide to become an activist. But you couldn't help notice the inequities, the injustices. It was all around you.
Yuri Kochiyama
-
My mom sent me to regular high school because she wanted me to have that experience and not say that I missed out, but I didn't like it at all. I'm more comfortable in the world that I'm in, I grew up in it so when I get around normal kids in regular high school I don't know what to do. I feel more secure in an adult environment.
Alexa Vega
-
I hang out with all the crew on set. It just makes it easier to work. You feel more comfortable around everyone.

For some 25 years, I worked as a librarian, first at the New York Public Library, then at Trenton State College in New Jersey. My life has always been with, around, and for books.
Avi
-
Listen and watch the world around you. Don't be satisfied with answers others give you.
Avi
-
I always just sit down at the piano and make the main hook - what I want the track to be about melodically - and then I'll build everything else around that. But growing up, I did not play any instruments.
Avicii
-
There's always so much music around me now, it seems like everything has to be something with music, so in my spare time I try not to listen to anything. It's so hard for me to listen to something without trying to see a benefit in it: 'Maybe I'll make my own version of that track or maybe I'll do this or that.'
Avicii
-
I actually only started listening to house music around the time I started making it. I got hooked both to making music and to house music.
Avicii
-
I think that it's important to have good people around you, like my friends.
Austin Mahone
-
I'm a huge nerd, I admit to that. I love to play video games, I love to read, and of course, I've gotta still get my studies in and all. I love to learn. But I also love to do stop motion animation with my little Lego figures. I love to play around on the computer with that.
Atticus Shaffer
-
Nowadays when I walk around, I get noticed, which is kind of weird.
Azealia Banks
-
It's really sad down there. Everyone's sitting around asking to help and BP won't let anybody do anything. People are coming down to help. People want to help.
Austin Nichols
-
Western States keep playing with, and around, Russia.
Aslan Maskhadov
-
Better to go than sit around being a terrible old bore.
Auberon Waugh
-
Someone can do three episodes of 'The Bold and the Beautiful,' then turn around and book a primetime show. That's happening all the time.
Ashley Jones
-
When you travel around Moscow, you can see almost every car is using a smartphone where they can see what's ahead of them.
Arkady Volozh
-
I'm comfortable around girls because I grew up with two sisters and a single mom. I feel very lucky for all they have taught me. They tell me to be myself, have fun, and focus on eye expressions.
Anwar Hadid
-
I think our family motto is to always work hard, be humble, kind, and thoughtful about others around us.
Anwar Hadid
-
It's rather nice to think that a song such as 'What Kind of Fool Am I?' is a standard that will be around for many, many years.
Anthony Newley
-
I grew up in central Florida in the nineteen-sixties, barefoot half the time and running around the orange groves where my father worked. I remember flocks of white birds that would lift from the backs of cattle, disturbed by the jackhammers and bulldozers clearing land for Walt Disney World.
Anne Hull
-
What scares me? I kind of believe in ghosts. I believe they can wander around, so that scares me. But the stuff that really scares me are the catastrophic events like my husband or children or my family being harmed, or something like that.
Annabeth Gish
-
So far we have not convinced the Chinese authorities. My own brother was refused a visa on what was probably my last chance of seeing him when he was going around the world on a tour. Scott Nearing was similarly refused.
Anna Louise Strong
-
They see me wheeling around in a beautiful gown, and they realize you can look elegant, and you can lead a happy life in a wheelchair. I know I've helped handicapped people, because I've received many comments.
Anna Lee
-
Yes, I do sew. I started when I was around 8 or 9 and have been doing it off and on since then.
Ann Packer
-
It was I who made Fellini famous, not the other way around.
Anita Ekberg
-
My mother always carries around these postcard pictures of me.
Angela Watson
-
I love going to the beach in the tropics and doing whatever I do - surfing, swimming or being - and the glow when I get a tan that deepens. I walk around with red and gold in my skin and feel like the most beautiful thing on the planet!
Anika Noni Rose
-
The pace of digital innovation is astonishing. It's impossible to imagine life without the web, smartphones, social networks. And yet the consumer products and everyday objects all around us are still essentially dumb.
Andy Hobsbawm
-
There certainly is a good 'Tex Mex' restaurant very close to our office. My office is around 100 yards from it. I call it Tex Mex because every couple of years it's changed hands and changed name, I'm not exactly sure why!
Andrew Oliver
-
I grew up in Lake Orion, Mich. What was best about Lake Orion where, where we grew up was it was a suburb of Detroit but had a lot of open space around.
Andrew J. Feustel
-
I don't know how it would play out it the long run, if I were go to series with the story, I don't know. I just miss Peter so much on a personal level, that's about what I can say. He's my buddy and I wish he were around.
Andreas Katsulas
-
For me, the moral difficulties lie in the continual pressure brought to bear on my friends and immediate family, pressure which is not directed against me personally but which at the same time is all around me.
Andrei Sakharov
-
The camera is my tool. Through it I give a reason to everything around me.
Andre Kertesz
-
In the U.S., there are around 300 shows in different networks, so there's a lot of work here.
Aml Ameen
-
In England, there's a lot of people producing their own work and becoming producers and filmmakers, so they're not constantly waiting around. It can be very scarce for work, so it's important to create the work.
Aml Ameen
-
I just started writing for my own amusement and occasionally singing in little clubs around Los Angeles. Then I wrote 'The Rose,' and through a series of divine things that I had no control over and had no idea were going to happen, it got in the movie, and that changed everything.
Amanda McBroom
-
When women are in positions of power it's a hard place to be, especially when that position involves bossing men around.
Alison Pill
-
Being around lots of people drains me, and alone time is essential to my well-being.
Alice Greczyn
-
I'm from a big family; I have four younger siblings. My parents are still happily married together. I grew up moving around a lot, and my family was certainly not affluent.
Alice Greczyn
-
I do a lot of research. For 'I Am Legend', I did a lot of research about survivors. If everybody is dead around you, how you can keep surviving. I went to the bookstore and found psychiatry books about survivors from the Holocaust.
Alice Braga
-
When I began playing around at being a physical chemist, I enjoyed very much doing work on the structure of DNA molecules, something which I would never have dreamed of doing before I started.
Alfred Hershey
-
I used to dance around the house and taught myself the 'Annie' soundtrack. I got into singing and fell in love with it.
Alexis Dziena
-
I grew up in that world of power and politics in Washington, but when you grow up around it, you are completely unfazed by it.
Alexandra Wentworth
-
We really teach ourselves. If you want to learn, you will always find someone to learn from, be they dead or alive, great or unknown. You learn from everything you see and hear around you - if you are willing to pay attention.
Alexander Volkov
-
I've always been very attentive to detail. It's a characteristic that drives some people crazy. But on the other hand, when people around me are sloppy, that drives me crazy.
Alan W. Livingston
-
Around the district, I've talked to more local bankers who are scared to death.
Alan Nunnelee
-
I don't delude myself into thinking I'll bring anyone around to my way of thinking, especially Sean Hannity.
Alan Colmes
-
Kids are no longer interested in reading comic books; they've got television and the electronic games that they can bury themselves in like ostriches. They don't have to pay attention to what's going on in the world around them.
Al Feldstein
-
The tradition is a fence around the law; tithes are a fence around riches; vows are a fence around abstinence; a fence around wisdom is silence.
Akiva ben Joseph
-
My family background is Mexican, and I was born in Chicago. It's pretty much family tradition every time we get together for Christmas and major holidays to sing. Our family time is centered around the food and a little bit of performing for one another.
