Music's been around a long time, and there's going to be music long after Ray Charles is dead. I just want to make my mark, leave something musically good behind. If it's a big record, that's the frosting on the cake, but music's the main meal.
I've always felt I want to be of service to the world somehow. I haven't yet figured out how to do it, and I may never figure out how to do it.
High school, you don't want to go back and do it over again.
Men want to think women don't cheat, and women want men to think they don't cheat, and therefore the sexes have been playing a little psychological game with each other.
'Made it as a writer'? I'm still wondering if I've made it as a writer. I've made it as a published writer of the type of SF that I want to write and read, but I'm still waiting for that big breakthrough.
If we want to improve American food and make it much cheaper, we should deregulate the food trucks and the other street vendors, provided they meet certain sanitation standards. Many cities have already moved down this path, and people are not keeling over with salmonella.
I treat people the way I want to be treated, which makes me odd.
The one thing I do not want to be called is First Lady. It sounds like a saddle horse.
Exceed your customer's expectations. If you do, they'll come back over and over. Give them what they want - and a little more.
Let's be honest, I don't think anyone ever wants to settle down in Hollywood - it's a place you go to work. And once you've hit it, you get out of there as soon as you can. It's definitely not a place you want to get married and have kids.
A majority, perhaps as many as 75 percent, of abortion clinics are in areas with high minority populations. Abortion apologists will say this is because they want to serve the poor. You don't serve the poor, however, by taking their money to terminate their children.
At our age, you don't want to stop.
I think there's definitely a dance album or at least single in me somewhere. I would want to work with a really cool Ibiza DJ, though.
I just want to have fun and party with everyone around the world. That's the only rule, to have fun.
A man's ability to haggle is never a turn-on. The only thing less romantic than how much you paid is how much you saved. The last thing we want to hear is how you talked the jeweler down on our new earrings.
When I think of the things that I want to write, I can never say them out loud because I know how crazy they sound. I know what things sound like when you haven't actually worked on the script, so I don't go around saying some of these ideas because they just sound awful.
I want to direct, I want to be part of something creative, something with quality.
I want to see us remain convinced that software matters in the future.
I have an ambition to write a great book, but that's really a competition with myself. I've noticed that a lot of young writers, people in all media, want to be famous but they don't really want to do anything. I can't think of anything less worth striving for than fame.
I don't feel like I've hit my stride. So I wonder what the moment will be when I get to be who I want to be.
Our great power does not mean we can do whatever we want whenever we want, nor should we assume we have all the wisdom and knowledge necessary to succeed.
Will and Tommy Lee are the only actors I've ever worked with where neither of them want to say any lines.
If you want to be listened to, you should put in time listening.
I don't want to be too proud, but I have a good personal style.
I want to make someone walk straight, but I've left my sons nothing but wars.
I want the joy of knowing that I am doing something with my life, the joy of battle.
Well, I used to have a sister, but I never got to meet her because she died after two days, I think. So if I got a tattoo, it would probably have to be something to do with my sister. I actually want to get a tattoo when I'm older of something about her.
I think I usually have quite ordinary dreams. Sometimes my dreams take me to other dimensions. I can travel in my mind especially when I'm dreaming I focus my mind on what I want to dream. If I want to fly, I focus on flying.
I can be stupid in my lyrics or say whatever I want without having to worry about anybody else's feeling or anybody being embarrassed by it or anything like that.
I have found that many other countries will buy off on anything American. As much as they hate us, they want to be us more than anything.
I believe you can make forces of good and evil work for you, to get what you want.
I don't want to be linked to anything negative. I don't want negative energy. I want everything positive around me.
I've always wanted to do an Indian film, but I didn't want to come to India and pretend that I could play an average Bombay girl.
The older I get, the harder it is to splurge without consequences. I love food. Chocolate and cheese and anything that's bad for me. I'll be really good when I'm at home so I can eat what I want to when I'm out with friends.
Hope E. L .James doesn't think I'm being a prankster. I really want to adapt her novels for the screen. Christian Grey is a writer's dream.
Girls have an unfair advantage over men: if they can't get what they want by being smart, they can get it by being dumb.
