Marketing is more important than it has ever been. But I'm trying to tear the layers back and make it not so contrived. I think people just want entertainment.
You don't want to hear about how much money I donate to the Boys and Girls Clubs of America or to AIDS awareness or to give out scholarships. You don't want to hear about that.
A lot of times, when I interact with someone for the first time, I don't want to see the presentation.
A lot of my music that I like puts energy in your body or makes you want to dance or break something or just go mosh or jump around.
Before I was 12 years old, I had no interest in music; I was just into football. Then I heard Don McLean's 'Vincent' come on at the end of an episode of 'The Simpsons.' You know when you hear something and you don't understand why you like it, you just do? That's how I felt. I just thought, 'I want to be able to write songs like that.'
The high-grossing films are not all that interesting to me, I have to say. It's not stuff I would want to be in. Yes, you would want the big paycheck, but that's never really been my concern.
I want to keep playing strong female roles. I don't mean superheroes, but women who are really alive.
If we want to deliver opportunity for all, we need an economy that delivers jobs for the future.
If you want to sell the most records, duet with me. If you need someone to come in and bless your record sales, I'm your man.
We've become slaves to words like 'local,' 'fresh,' and 'seasonal.' We all want to be Thomas Jefferson's agrarian hero, but sustainable food is a difficult beast.
I want to tell women in developing countries that they are as powerful as their male counterparts, and they can play an equal role in their respective societies.
I want to stress the importance of being fair to our readers. You should not impose your own view and prejudice on the readers and try to lead them to a conclusion. As a reader, I understand what a fair report is.
Working on 'Big Give' was an opportunity that I felt compelled to do. It was my chance to share in showing people how they can give big in their own life, to send the message that giving goes way beyond the gift of money. We want to share that the best thing you can give is your time and understanding.
I work real hard so the reader doesn't have to. I don't want them to have to look up words.
When I'm in the kitchen, I don't want anybody else in the kitchen. I have a system - and the system, it's another form of insanity that has grabbed me.
I'm too young to have kids, but I really want to be a mom. I don't know if it's a Latin thing, but I love kids.
If I go onstage, I want to give people everything they want and more. I'll wash their car for them on their way out.
College students want good eats. They want it to not be super-expensive, but you've got to be eclectic, you've got to have style, and you've got to make real food.
People want me to be funny all the time. They think I'm being funny no matter what I say or do and that's not the case.
I would never stay under circumstances where I felt I was a figurehead and might look good in your team media guide. I don't want to be that. I do want to contribute, and if I don't contribute, I'll walk away from it. If I don't feel welcomed, I'll walk away from it.
I want to challenge the presumption that the world cannot know it is the world unless there is an alternative to the world.
We don't have nannies and all that, we look after our own kids. It's just what you do. If you want a big family that's just what you do, isn't it?
I just want the future to happen faster. I can't imagine the future without robots.
When I did 'Sex and the City,' it was like, 'Let's do a comedy where the humor is not coming from innuendo but from the a truthful place. This is a show where we're going to be able to say and do what we want.'
I'm very hard on myself. I think that drives me because I don't want to let people down or let myself down. That fear of failing drives me from being complacent.
I just want to keep saturating the market and radio with as many hit records as I can.
Wherever I live, if there isn't a restaurant I want to go to of a certain type, then I open it. That's all. For selfish reasons.
When I shoot at the range, I don't feel personally powerful but like the custodian of something powerful. I feel like a successful disciplinarian of something radically alien and potent. Analyze this sensation all you want; you still can't make it go away.
I want to be Ursula in 'The Little Mermaid.'
I want to thank the American people - on both sides of the aisle - for years of financial, diplomatic, and military support, and for helping us carry the burden of defense.
I didn't want to feel constrained, so I took on the Mutants.
We're all the same. We all want the same thing in life. Everybody going around like ants and we all want the same thing. And it's not one queen. It's not one queen with the wings.
I want my opponents to look at me across the net and just not want to play me because I look so fit and amazing and strong. So that's always my goal.
I've never had anyone just stick their hands through my hair. Yet. If they ask, I go, 'OK, you can, if you want to. It's probably just going to feel like most people's.' I take it as a compliment.
Perhaps British TV companies don't want women my age on screen. I don't know.
I'm not just painting for painting's sake. I want to be truthful.
