I have too much drive and determination to let anything falter me. Because I know that life's short and there's so much that I wanna do, and I can't do anything that might hold me back or get stuck in.
When I was making my second record, I was in studio, and I was like, 'No more ballads! Absolutely not!' And somebody walked in with 'The Man I Wanna Be' and I heard it and was like, 'Ah, crap!'
When I was 11 years old, I thought, 'All I really wanna be able to do is my own comic book,' and I'm doing it. I don't have any other real ambitions. I have nothing to conquer at all.
I wanna go play my music in a club.
I don't want to overthrow the government. I wanna fire 'em.
I'm a sucker for a funny script. And then, as soon as I don't wanna be, one comes along and grabs me.
You've gotta dive into the abyss if you wanna get anything good. Every record, you've gotta go down in the abyss and hope that you come out of it alive.
When you happy, you get locked in sleep. You get sleepy happy. I always wanna be on point. I always wanna be aware.
My mum used to always dress me and my sister in matching Laura Ashley dresses. And I'd be like, 'Mum, I just wanna wear my Doc Martens!'
It don't matter if you put 'The Dance' out, or any old George Strait song. Someone is going to think that it's awful. You gotta be able to just sit back and kind of laugh it off and know you're doing exactly what you wanna do, and if people don't like it, then it's not really my place to tell them they have to like it.
You wanna know what scares people? Success. When you don't make moves and when you don't climb up the ladder, everybody loves you because you're not competition.
People just wanna talk. They wanna create negative things about you and your life and make up things. You can't let them affect you!
From now on, any flick I'm ever involved with, I conduct critics screenings thusly: 'You wanna see it early to review it? Fine: pay like you would if you saw it next week.'
With rap, it's a funny thing. You can say things, and people can take 'em the way they wanna take 'em.
History is important but... I just wanna sing Beyonce songs all day long in front of a mirror.
I was writing songs as a kid about leprechauns and Catwoman and teapots - whatever it is that little girls wanna sing about. The first song I wrote was called 'Kitten.'
This is the way I wanna die. Torn apart by angry fans who want me to play a different song.
As an actor I want to do as many takes as I can. I wanna shoot the scene... or shoot the shot 'til they make me quit.
People can't just listen to the music and have their own imagination and take them where they wanna go.
For the most part, I don't care what Dolph Ziggler is doing or that Seth Rollins worked out. I don't wanna watch a video of Cena power cleaning.
'Carbs' is the first song I wrote, and 'I Wanna Boi' is the second song I wrote. I am very proud of every song I made since then. Anything I'm not proud of I wouldn't show people.
I love the characters you can build upon when you wear different things. You know, sometimes, I'll want to be girly and wear tulle on a Tuesday, and sometimes I wanna be like Kim Kardashian and wear black leather head-to-toe.
A lot of relationships have ended for me in my 20s, because I knew that eventually those people would wanna settle down and have kids.
I don't live in L.A. on purpose because I don't wanna be immersed in that. I have to have a real life, with real people, in order to inform what I'm doing; otherwise, it just becomes the snake eating its own tail. Vampirism.
I don't wanna look like a 65-year-old geezer, you know, and I can't really see it happening.
As far as style goes, I gravitate toward anything that is effortlessly chic. I don't wanna look like I'm trying too hard.
All you wanna do in life is do what you do well. That's when you're happiest.
People get so riled up, and they wanna fight shows, but all they have to do is turn it off, and you see what happens? The show goes off. That's all you have to do. You don't have to fight anybody. You don't have to hold up signs.
I might be eating something, and the bag opens in a cool way, and I'm like, 'I wanna put that in the song.'
That's where it all started for me, in clubs and bars, and I don't ever wanna outgrow that.
I wanna make my mark, and I wanna be part of something!
A lot of designers, they did tell me no. They didn't really wanna work with me.
I took a film course in grade ten that made me want to direct, and I've always been making short films and home videos with my friends, so it's definitely something I wanna pursue as well.
I don't wanna be preached to. Unless it's in a beautiful voice, I don't want that.
I do like the idea of consequence and how our actions play themselves out, but I am completely scared of knowing what the future would be like. I would never go near a fortune teller, even though it's probably not even real. I just don't wanna know.
Mostly I want to talk positive; I wanna talk about a bunch of great kids that I coached and made me look good and the university that I've seen grow from a cow college, which it was, only 12,000 people, and when I came here, we weren't at Pennsylvania State University, we were at Penn State College.
