I was a terribly quiet, shy child. The comedy thing came when I was at university and I started doing stand-up, which I think was a belated compensation for all that time I spent hiding behind the couch.
Ardal O'Hanlon
People have criticized me for seeming to step out of my professional role to become undignifiedly political. I'd say it was belated realization that day care, good schools, health insurance, and nuclear disarmament are even more important aspects of pediatrics than measles vaccine or vitamin D.
Benjamin Spock
I feel prematurely old. I'm actually having this major belated quarter-life crisis. I'm turning 30 in a couple of weeks. I've been thinking a lot about mortality. A lot about what I'm going to do with my life and how to enjoy it. One of the things I'm going to work on is being more spontaneous, letting go, embracing the beauty of come-what-may.
Chris Pine
I think it is serious to have good sales. As I learned belatedly, the more you sell, the more publishers pay attention to you, and it took me a very long time to figure that out because I never thought that way.
Cynthia Ozick
What teens will realize is always a mystery to me. I'm still realizing so many things myself, very belatedly, that it seems unwise to think I have any right to be showing people things in hopes that they'll realize them.
Diane Duane
To realise belatedly that there are Swahili epic poems which rival their European equivalents for sweep and power has been exciting.
Giles Foden
Feminism began to dawn on my brain belatedly in life.
Gloria Steinem
A funeral eulogy is a belated plea for the defense delivered after the evidence is all in.
Irvin S. Cobb
An epitaph is a belated advertisement for a line of goods that has been discontinued.
The west has a great deal to answer for in the Middle East, from Britain's belated empire-building after the First World War to the US and British policy that condemns modern Iraq to the material and social squalor of a half-century ago.
James Buchan
I think now, we in the international community are belatedly wanting to show our solidarity with the Somali peoples and also do our best to help them move to better times.
Jan Egeland
Well, the music industry is littered with actors who belatedly came to singing.
Jeff Daniels
At the end of my life, I have achieved belated fame and recognition in the city of my birth.
Leon Askin
While this debate today is a belated effort to inform the American people, it is nevertheless an empty gesture. It is time to admit our mistake in Iraq and begin to bring our troops home with honor.
