It's never been difficult for me to say no. I have never given excuses like I don't have dates. I have never over-quoted to avoid a project. I simply say that while the script might be good, I can't connect with it. My strategy is that while I wouldn't want anyone to waste my time, I shouldn't be doing that, either, with others.
My mom was like, 'What did I do as a mom for you to want to become a wrestler?' They just didn't understand, and it's really hard to explain what made me love wrestling so much. There's something about it that made me fall in love, and ever since I laid my eyes on it, I knew I wanted to be a professional wrestler in the WWE.
Just do what you want to do and don't worry about what people say.
I want, of course, peace, grace, and beauty. How do you do that? You work for it.
If people want to think I'm an Indian prince, I don't want to dispel that notion.
I'm always going back to one thing - my family... It's my family, my religion, my fighters. Put them in any order you want.
Exeter City's trip to Old Trafford will be a great day for their fans but that is about it - they won't get the result they want against Manchester United.
To me, having kids is the ultimate job in life. I want to be most successful at being a good father.
The NBA has made it clear they want fan bases to be able to keep their teams.
What you never want to do is have a story that doesn't track emotionally, because then you're going joke to joke and you're going to fatigue the audience. The only thing that's going to string them to the next joke is how successful the previous joke is.
If you want a transcript of tonight's program, get a pen and write down everything I said.
I want to be different. If everyone is wearing black, I want to be wearing red.
I'm a businesswoman who's serious about her money. I want an empire.
I don't want to sound as if I'm doing something tremendously special. But I am a jazz fan.
Five years from now I see myself still working hard to get where I want to be, because I think big.
On the other hand, I'm very tolerant as well. I expect that everybody can play what they want. I'm only not tolerant when it comes to myself and what is presented on my album that I have to listen to for the rest of my life.
If the urge to write should ever leave me, I want that day to be my last.
I want to warn anyone who sees the Peace Corps as an alternative to the draft that life may well be easier at Fort Dix or at apost in Germany than it will be with us.
I definitely want to go out and explore different personalities and different people.
A big producer offered me the part of the pretty girl that waits at home for the guy, and I couldn't do it. That's not a story I ever want to tell.
You need a lot of luck to find people with whom you want to spend the rest of your life. Some people manage to find their soul mate. Others don't. I think love is like a lottery.
What do you think, what people want from their governments? Simple. A better life for themselves and for their children. Government that is fair, just and responsible.
If you are a Christian, you want to give as much as you can away. It sounds pious, but it's not a duty; it's a kind of joy.
You want to be understood by the sophisticated few but you also have to be more loud somehow, otherwise your message doesn't go through.
Success is freedom - scripts coming your way and getting to choose the stories you want to tell.
I want to be a big, fleshy voluptuous woman with curves. I want a big bum, but I don't have one.
What you want to worship above youth, I think, is beauty, and beauty is so beyond just appearances after a while. Because you can be with someone who's good-looking; if they open their mouths and they're an idiot, then they cease to be beautiful very quickly.
It's sometimes impossible to fit in all the music we want to fit in, in an hour and 45 minute show.
You don't contest shots without expending energy. You don't get deflections - unless you walk into one every now and then - without expending energy. These are the things in basketball you have to really want to do.
I want kids of this generation to see that everything is cool, that there's some kind of unity in hip-hop. We all found something that's really important to us, and music is all we've really got.
I want Charo to live with me in my house. I want to have her in my pocket whenever I need cheering up.
I never pushed to be a star. I didn't want to. I had my home, my family. Session work let you do the music and leave.
If we want users to like our software, we should design it to behave like a likeable person.
I just like surprising people. I never want to get to a place where people see that I am in a movie and they go see the movie and they expect a certain performance one way or the other. That is just inherently boring to me.
Why does a three-year-old, and it's usually boys, want to drive the tractor or have machinery and be in control of it? I don't know. Why wouldn't you ask to boil a kettle or something? Maybe you would, I dunno.
I want to be like Matt Damon and do a hugely successful thinking-man's action franchise like 'Bourne.'
