I honestly don't think I sought fame. It wasn't something I courted or wanted, particularly.
As long as I loved and served Christ I could be anything I wanted to be.
I landed a job with Roger Corman. The job was to write the English dialogue for a Russian science fiction picture. I didn't speak any Russian. He didn't care whether I could understand what they were saying; he wanted me to make up dialogue.
I wanted to be one of the voices in the box.
I love westerns. I've always wanted to do a western.
I just wanted to rollerblade at Union Square.
I would never diminish the quality of Hermes. Hermes can be an even rarer and greater quality business, if they ever wanted to work with us.
Subliminally, I had always wanted to act. Although I had only performed in a couple of plays, I was serious about it and was subsequently trained by people like Lee Strasberg and Elia Kazan.
I remember, when I was ten, I wanted to look like Em. I had the bleached blonde hair.
I wanted to be an explorer, but gradually found the world had been explored and that there was nowhere left, really. Once they climbed Everest in 1953, when I was 10 years old, I thought, 'Well, that's pretty much it now.' But the idea of travelling and exploring and adventure was very strong.
Performing has always been something I wanted to do. My dad had a video camera and I loved being in front of it.
I didn't do 'Orange' because I knew it was good. I wanted to do this because it feels good. And I just knew that was the place I needed, wanted to be.
I just sing and write songs and wear what I want. It's quite a good job really. If I wanted to I suppose I could become more of a fashion icon, but singing is my thing.
I always wanted to be a singer. I was going to finish school and go to Berkley, and then Vine came out, and I felt like I could finally show people my talent. I can even sing in the Vines. It's honestly changed my life. I don't know where I would be right now without it.
I was obsessed from the moment I took my first photograph. I wanted to make photography my career.
I was a Scout years ago, before the movement started, when my father took me fishing, camping and hunting. Then I was sorry that more girls could not have what I had. When I learned of the movement, I thought, here is what I always wanted other girls to have.
I wanted to write songs that would play themselves on stage, songs that sweep you through their current.
When we did concerts, we wanted them to be theatrical events - collaborations with designers, choreographers, and directors - because we thought traditional rock concerts were boring.
For most of the '90s and the first part of this decade, content providers who wanted to publish online only needed to worry about the graphical web browser.
I was a girl and became a woman. Something about having the freedom at home to be in the position I wanted, to have the people I wanted, was empowering.
My fairy-tale life ended the moment I wanted to apply for a passport.
When I was younger, there was a huge gap between what I wanted to do and what I could do as an idol.
I've always wanted to play Don Quixote in some way. It's a great role. I think the idealism of the man shows that hope that we have in the human breast to achieve something.
I always wanted to be a basketball player. Nothing more, nothing less.
Mitch Miller knew exactly what he wanted me to sing. He didn't want me to improvise at all.
I wanted to be a part of the first 'Twilight' movie, and unfortunately, it didn't work out so great. So when they came back and were like, 'Do you want to come in for a part for the second movie,' I was like, 'Absolutely.'
But I wanted marriage for myself. I was not calculating about it. I wish I was more calculating.
I wanted to make an Indian character who wasn't either a) the savage that must be eliminated, the force of nature that's blocking the way for industrial progress, or b) the noble innocent that knows all and is another cliche. I wanted him to be a complicated human being.
I haven't stuck to any formula. Most great writers stick to the same style, but I wanted to be more various.
What are you going to do if you have all the money in the world and all the things that you wanted to achieve in your business and you have no one to share it with? You come home alone at the end of the day. And then what?
I never made a damn dime until I started doing what I wanted.
I was between 2 and 3 in the world for two, three years. That's not exactly where I wanted to be.
I think a lot of studios today are run by women, and we are entering a time when a lot of women have evolved in Second City and Upright Citizens Brigade and wanted to become writers and comedians.
There was a great strain in our family because my father didn't want anything to do with me. He was happy to see my brother and sister, but not me. I don't know why. Maybe it was shame. I don't know. But he never wanted anything to do with me. That rejection was terribly hurtful and it went on for years.
I'm really disappointed at every event if I don't do less than what I wanted to do.
I wanted to star in a western opposite Robert Redford. That was my plan for my life.
