My first job at the bakery was jamming doughnuts.
Most ballerinas take their first ballet class when they are 5 or 6 years old. I was 13 when I took mine on the basketball court of the San Pedro Boys & Girls Club in California.
Even the slowest guy can go from first to third and help win a ballgame.
I knew the second I finished the first record - 'House Of Balloons' - and had all this material leftover that a trilogy would be best.
I was first introduced to dancing through the TV: I remember watching ballet, jazz and ballroom dancing when I was very little. But I felt no connection with it whatsoever: it was just like watching a Tom and Jerry cartoon.
I always put a layer of lip balm first, and then I layer the lipstick on by using a lip brush to help get it into the whole lip and make a really even line.
Russia's first major intervention began in 1768, when Catherine the Great went to war with the Ottomans, and Count Alexei Orlov, the brother of her lover Grigory, sailed the Baltic fleet through the Strait of Gibraltar to rally rebellions in the Mediterranean.
The new Disney cartoon 'Bambi' is interesting because it's the first one that's been entirely unpleasant.
When I heard the Pixies for the first time, I connected with that band so heavily I should have been in that band - or at least in a Pixies cover band.
As a director, my job is to spend money, and the producer's is to save money. Masoom, Bandit Queen and the first Queen Elizabeth have been my most uncompromised films.
There's no magic for getting into the groove... just banging away at it. Sometimes the lyrics come first, sometimes the music.
My first task is to show how great we are as a nation - let's banish the pessimists.
My first wish is to see this plague of mankind, war, banished from the earth.
I want to be that guy that says I was one of the first guys to put a banner in Brooklyn.
Well, when I was 13, for my bar mitzvah I received my first typewriter. And that was special.
My first acting gig was a skit for Jay Leno on 'The Tonight Show.' It was this Barbie commercial where I got to pour mud all over Barbie dolls and watch the heads pop off. It was so exciting, a lot of fun.
Barbra Streisand, for one, is one of my idols. I've listened to her since I was a little kid - the first album I ever bought was 'A Star is Born' with Kris Kristofferson.
You learn a lot when you're barefoot. The first thing is every step you take is different.
The first film I made was when I was 13 and it was called 'The Dogs That Ate Detroit.' It starred my Saint Bernard Barney, and it was a killer thriller with oodles of special effects that were cutting edge for the time.
My first crush was Barry Manilow. He performed on TV and I taped it. When no one was around I'd kiss the screen.
