I want people to notice my writing abilities are real and that I'm not just stuck in one situation.
I don't want to be about the way I look - my body, my hair, my makeup, all those boring things.
When I don't enjoy it anymore, I'll stop. But I think as long as people want me to be where the action is, I'll be there. I just love to play tennis.
That's what we want to do here at Johnson Space Center. I think what we have always brought to NASA and brought to the country is trying to push the boundaries, trying to go to the next level.
I want to keep on progressing. I definitely think acting is a long process to be one of the greats like Morgan Freeman or Jack Nicholson.
Every time I collaborate with an artist, I want to surprise fans. I want to do something new.
I wish to please the people, but I want to make them cry, perhaps. There, I have said it.
I got into the Shanghai Drama Institute because my parents, like all parents, want their children to have good grades and to go to a good college. I became a college student because of them.
I had very few friends. We always ate dinner with our parents. We didn't want to go out. American adolescence was a lot wilder than I would have felt comfortable with.
I want to reveal in a simple way the usual - and unusual - life of the city; the corporation workman, the busmen, policemen, the civil servants, the theatres, Moore Street and also, what occupies so large a place in Dublin's life, the literary and artistic.
Poetry is the hardest thing that there is. It fascinates me, so I want to write more of it.
Whenever I was with a woman, I always sort of want another one. So there was always another one. I can't explain this.
When you have an idea for a story, you want those characters to reach as many people as you can. I think you normally think of prose as a way of doing that. It fits our time, the culture.
I think that Mos Def is the best actor, but when you talk about rappers in films, I don't really think the quality of the acting is most important because most rappers are put in movies because of the personality and people want to see that.
Why would you want to go all the way to Africa and shoot a giraffe? I don't think you can eat him. I only shoot stuff I can eat.
I really love to act; I love everything about it. I've never had this addiction to being known. I mean, sure, if you go into acting, there's part of you that is saying, 'I want attention' but I was brought up to work to deserve attention, and it is the work, not the trappings that are important.
I'm not a politician. I only want to help relieve the suffering in communities, and I want to help people see their community in each other.
As people grow up and they want more freedom, it's on an individual basis, children want to have more freedom, you've got to allow that, so how do you balance it. I would say let it evolve, move as quickly or slowly as people would like to move.
The sad thing is that apparently if you want to become the next Premier or the leader, suddenly you've got to shut down your human side.
I never choose a genre over quality. I never think, 'I want to do that,' and sacrifice the fact it might not be very good.
None of the parties want this conflict to go on.
I'm not scared of growing old, I'm just scared of not achieving everything that I want to do.
I could have gone the route of a lot of these former child actors, but I didn't want that for myself. Like I said, when I was 14 years old, I decided to quit. I didn't ever want to do it again.
In live action movies, you just hope that everything works. Because the actor may had a bad morning and doesn't play good, or accidents happen continuously. Many things contradict what you are trying to say. But in cartoons, nothing contradict what you want to say.
People are basically the same the world over. Everybody wants the same things - to be happy, to be healthy, to be at least reasonably prosperous, and to be secure. They want friends, peace of mind, good family relationships, and hope that tomorrow is going to be even better than today.
I want you to remember when our White House reflected the best of who we are, not the worst of what Europe has become.
I have to keep working hard and playing well because I don't like to be second or third: they're the worst places to be. You would be proud, of course, because it means you're on the way, but you want to finish first.
You must begin to think of yourself as becoming the person you want to be.
I want to make things equal.
I guess I'm not really fond of just chit-chatting. I want to learn something and have an experience.
Do you think I want to be the one lone voice against the Hollywood liberal establishment? It's not going to do me any good.
People want opportunity so they can earn security.
I've always thought if we don't want to enforce laws on the books, we should remove them from the books. But when you have laws, you breed contempt if you don't enforce them.
My idea is to play with the people who you know want to get it right. Then it's fun and easy to record, and you can get down to details, like taking out cymbals so the verse doesn't dwarf the chorus, something like that.
I want to be as honest as I can about the things I've been through - the sorrows and joys, victories and defeats - and to use those experiences as a well to draw from. Hopefully, the songs that result from that kind of writing will be songs that mean something to others.
I'm always in search of those books where you don't want to stop reading, and 'Me Before You' is at the top of that list.
