It took us three years to build the NeXT computer. If we'd given customers what they said they wanted, we'd have built a computer they'd have been happy with a year after we spoke to them - not something they'd want now.
The tough matches never go my way, so I want to change that.
I printed a list of Irish names from the Internet and my husband, Dave, saw Finley on the list. I really liked it but didn't want to scare Dave off with my enthusiasm. So I used a little reverse psychology and let him think it was his idea.
Our chief want is someone who will inspire us to be what we know we could be.
I tell my agent that I want to read everything.
I want to be a soul singer.
The last thing I want is to walk into my house after a long day and see all the Grammys and awards. It would make me feel weird.
I think the thinking is, in the comic books, I should pack as much onto a page as possible, because, you know, it's kind of the cheaper format, and you want to give readers as much as you can for their dollar.
I have a weird and undying love for George Michael. He's the reason why I want to do what I do.
If you want to move people, you look for a point of sensitivity, and in Egypt nothing moves people as much as religion.
I want to read a lot of comic books. I want to watch movies. I want to rest.
I believe the core of most of us women is very simple. We want to feel appreciated, acknowledged, and something as simple as flowers with a little note or some love letters goes a long way.
I go on giving interviews because I've been brought up to support the projects I'm involved in. When you've enjoyed working on a production, you want to do them a favour.
I guess the verdict is in - I am not a sociopath. It's not effective or productive not to be nice. It would undermine the goals I want to achieve on any given day.
We've begun to put fear into those whites who think they can do anything they want to a black person and get away with it.
When one stops working at the height of one's career, it's just stupid not to say, 'I want to make sure I have a house.'
You know, I don't want to stand out too much.
We see parts of each other, and we put them together. But if I want to see you in totality, you need to move away; we need space between us. Across the street, I can see all of you at once, but then I also see this huge vista of space surrounding you, coming in and compressing you.
To me, the American Dream is being able to follow your own personal calling. To be able to do what you want to do is incredible freedom.
If mathematics is to be understood widely, we need to emphasise its elegance and its applications. Sometimes it seems that universities want to emphasise how difficult it is!
I don't think I'd want to concentrate on just acting because I love music, and things are going really well, so I think I will always continue to make music.
If we really want to achieve true prayer, we must turn our backs upon everything temporal, everything external, everything that is not divine.
Boys want to grow up to be like their male role models. And boys who grow up in homes with absent fathers search the hardest to figure out what it means to be male.
I wanted to do that again but, when I went to look for chants, I didn't want to do it in the exact same way.
I think it's very important that girls see themselves as a brand - they have to go after what they want and be ready to work very hard.
I never want to become arrogant and think I've made a flawless movie.
If you want to be right-sized in body, you've got to get rid of the supersize way of life.
As parents, you want to try to mitigate your children's pain.
I want to let my fans get to know a little about me. I'm very thankful for everything they've done for me so, of course, I'm going to let them into my world a bit. But I really am a very private person, and I love kepping my life to myself - that's how I've always been.
As a parent, I want my kids to have an optimistic outlook, and one that has hope, and that makes sense, where good does triumph over evil and it's not cynical, and it's not snarky.
And I'm not so in love with making people mad that I want to live my life around it.
I want to write songs and play them for people - live.
I just want to inspire people to love other people and be accepting because I feel like there's so much going on in the world, and there's so many pressures, and there's so much negativity.
I believe that the decisions which govern all our lives, the laws we must all obey, and the taxes we must all pay should be decided by people we choose and who we can throw out if we want change.
Now that our troops are mired in a dangerous effort to defeat the insurgency and are also trying to help rebuild the country, Americans of all political persuasions simply want the United States to succeed and our troops to be as safe as possible.
One of the things we wrestle with nationally is, 'If we want the economy to be strong, what should we do?' Why not learn some lessons from Virginia?
