In the Mexico we want, there is no room for corruption, for cover-ups, and least of all for impunity.
Some people don't care why they are famous; they just want to be famous, and that makes my skin crawl a bit.
In the theater, when people hear that you're writing a play, they want to know what it's all about, whether there's a role for them. You write it fairly quickly, and it becomes a group activity before you're really ready to have company.
I wouldn't say I'm a very original thinker, but if I have a good experience with something, I'll want to take it further or adapt it in some way.
I was interested by the idea that artists working in a totalitarian dictatorship or tsarist autocracy are secretly and slightly shamefully envied by artists who work in freedom. They have the gratification of intense interest: the authorities want to put them in jail, while there are younger readers for whom what they write is pure oxygen.
There are times when I don't take roles because I don't want to be perceived a certain way.
The Democrats' plan for 2006? Take the House and Senate and impeach the president. With our nation at war, is this the kind of Congress you want?
The hardest part is not to repeat yourself. I don't really believe my core obsessions are going to change, but you need to look for ways to express them that are different. The main reason for doing that is not to bore yourself, and obviously, I don't want to bore readers.
What you have become is the price you paid to get what you used to want.
I want to go to the World Cup. I want to go to the Masters. I want to go... anywhere.
For me, I loved it. I only want to make silent movies now.
It's a very subjective, personal, instinctive approach as musicians of saying, 'We don't want to replace what's around; we just want to widen the possibilities.'
I want John Legend to sing at my wedding.
I believe that men are here to grow themselves into best good that they can be - at least, this is what I want to do.
I love men, not for what unites them, but for what divides them, and I want to know most of all what gnaws at their hearts.
Looking around, I saw so many unhappy adults, people who loathed their jobs, and I didn't want to be one of them.
Oh, I wouldn't want to go on a date with a female celebrity. I'd rather go on a date with a real woman.
A sequel is such a daunting thing, because you don't want to lose the magic and the charm of the first one.
I'm not gonna say that I hate it, because I really respect Usher and I was influenced by him. But so many people compare me to him, and I don't think it'll ever stop. I just want to be my own artist.
I would never say I think divorce is wrong. After seeing what my parents went through, I would never want them to stay together just because they think it's the right thing to do.
When I cook at home, most of the people I cook for want to be in the kitchen while I'm cooking. I love nothing more than someone monitoring how much salt I put into something, how much pepper I add - but nothing that you can offer is going to sway how I decide to deliver information to you; you'll either receive it or you won't.
I never look at a note. I just roam the stage. The people do not want to leave.
My parents are so supportive of whatever we want to do and completely nurtured that, and they're so proud of that as well. My sister's a doctor, and I have an older brother as well. He went into the music industry; he's very musically talented.

I don't want to be considered 'the Latino rapper.'
It is not my duty to spend my money in my country, but it is what I want to do. There is nowhere else I would like to invest.
I didn't want to play a rancher. I didn't want to have a cowboy hat on; I wanted to get away from that in the things I do. But I read the script and fell in love with it. As hard as I tried to say no, I couldn't.
I want to go base-jumping off Angel Falls and then canoeing down that river that goes east. That's what I really wanna do.
I want to make a shop that's unlike any that already exists.
I don't want to be famous. I want to be secure. I don't want the world. I just want a piece of it. I want people to remember Eric Davis.
Don't play dead with a vulture. That's exactly what they want.
World's major powers, including China and Russia, don't want to 'finance' American military adventures anymore.
I think all dancers are control freaks a bit. We just want to be in control of ourselves and our bodies. That's just what the ballet structure, I think, kind of puts inside of you.
But if people want to swim in the Thames, if they want to take their lives into their own hands, then they should be able to do so with all the freedom and exhilaration of our woad-painted ancestors.
All I know is that history repeats itself and people are going to want to experience the world. But I know then they are going to have a better appreciation for what is here in Maine.
Whether I'm acting, writing, or directing, I want to tell the truth about human beings, especially my folk.
