Less really is more. It's a tendency of beginning writers to want to prove what they're talking about by going too far with description. I think you've got to keep it short, crisp and clean.
Whatever my situation is, I want to show that I'm not perfect, and perfect isn't real. The youth need to know that, especially.
I want Victoria to be the number one state in the best country in the world.
There are distinct duties of a poet laureate. I plan a reading series at the Library of Congress and advise the librarian. The rest is how I want to promote poetry.
Hopefully my books are improving. One of the ways I find motivation to improve is looking at someone who is already at a high level and continues to get better with each book. That's really what you want to emulate.
Some people get their books on the best-seller list and then they count the number of weeks, and I just never want to live that way.
I approach styling as if I were a woman and what I would want to wear to a certain event.
I particularly don't want to play unmotivated behavior.
I'm not cynical, but I don't really want to have a boyfriend or husband again.
Give me civilization. I don't want to be pampered.
I want to be successful, but I don't really have what it takes to do it comfortably.
We just want to be remembered before something is set in stone.
I think I wanted to be a punk-rocker before I wanted to be anything else. I remember wanting a mohawk, and I wanted to cut the sleeves off of my jean jacket because I used to want to be Dirty Dan from Sha-Na-Na. This is before hip-hop was even around. I had the skinny piano tie. I had it, man.
I'll be a mentor to those who want to create a business, product or service and aren't exactly sure how to do that. To me, it's a true sign of success if I can help someone have a better time of it.
If I'm trying to please every craze fan, then I can't. Of course, we all want to please the fans.
I did not want to provide a blueprint or roadmap for the terrorists, saying 'Here are our new security procedures'.
It is sweet that people want to know everything about my wedding, but they should also respect my privacy.
I'm looking at working with people I get on with, that respect me, that don't just see me as a piece of ass. Which I have experienced as well. I've nearly walked off very big films before, and I would, because I don't want that in my life. I want to enjoy the work I do.
What I like about the third movie is you get to see a side of Carlisle you haven't seen before. You actually get to see what his vampire capabilities are because there's some great battle sequences. It's my favorite book. Carlisle is holding on to that humanity. He doesn't want to be a vampire.
I have a girlfriend, but I don't really want to talk about her. I won't name her. She isn't in show business, has nothing to do with it. So I'd rather just keep her out of it.
I do have screenplays I've written that never saw the light of day, but I don't usually go back to them. When I've told a story, I want to tell another story.
Venice is truly magical. The Devon-Dorset coast in England is so beautiful, and its sandstone cliffs are full of fossils, which can make for some very exciting walks. And I love Halifax, a great place with all the modern things you could want, plus a wonderful sense of history, and, of course, the sea.
A lot of people are like, 'So you want to be famous.' And I'm like, 'No, I want to be good at my craft. I don't care about fame, I don't care if I even ever make it. As long as people know what I am as an actress in this business, I'm set for my career right now.'
You don't paint pictures to put them in your attic. You want people to look at them.
I am a real person that cares about his art and cares about what he's doing - I have a heart and a soul and want to touch people and give.
I want to sing for people. I want them to have the music. It's a nice feeling.
Every time I see a live performance of something, I'm like, 'I want to be doing that!'
As you know, in America there's no rights for the artist, so whatever films I've made kind of belong to the studio, so if they want to remake it they can.
I believe life is a gift, and I want to live it productively. I am not into this numbers game.
Once you see how powerful music is and how it can affect people, then you want to use it to impact the world.
I did not want my tombstone to read, 'She kept a really clean house.' I think I'd like them to remember me by saying, 'She opened government to everyone.'
We have two boys, and one of our kids is much more interested in history and stories, so if you want him to do some calculations about lenses, you would start talking to him about Galileo... Then he would be into the lenses, but if you just start talking to him about lenses, he might not stay with you.
Patients want to be seen as people. For me, the person's life comes first; the disease is simply one aspect of it, which I can guide my patients to use as a redirection in their lives. When doctors look at their patients, however, they are trained to see only the disease.
Comedians like to see people smile. With acting, I love giving people a feeling, an emotion. I like to give people a feeling. When they come away from my scene, I want them to think.
What the people want is very simple - they want an America as good as its promise.
Whoever doesn't want to hear our voice needs to see a political otolaryngologist.
