Part of me has certainly been motivated by wanting to take a stand against the restrictions that made Mother give up so much.

After 40, you want to reverse the ageing process. That's complicated for me because I spent so many years wanting to be older.

The ambition, the drive, the wanting to be the center of attention, the wanting to succeed... They're all inside me somewhere.

There are days when I struggle with wanting to be a full-time, stay-at-home mom, and feeling guilty about that because I work.

I suspect, for a lot of people who become actors, there's a feeling of wanting to be someone other than who they actually are.

My interest in community is what fuels my work as a writer, more than just wanting to write or just wanting to have a TV show.

When I was a child, I wanted to be... a fairy. I still do, really, except that now I've now graduated to wanting to be a pixie.

In boxing, it is about the obsession of getting the most from yourself: wanting to dominate the world like a hungry young lion.

People are always wanting to pull me up on my shortfalls. I try to battle against those and concentrate on how good things are.

The American dream is a crock. Stop wanting everything. Everyone should wear jeans and have three T-shirts, eat rice and beans.

For me, I went into 'Drag Race' wanting to further catapult my career, to travel around the world, and perform for all my fans.

Since 9/11, there has been a huge leap in people wanting to get personally involved in public service and international affairs.

The idea of wanting to do something that's completely natural and then having to repress it is something that I find fascinating.

I'm a pretty good ventriloquist, but it's the entertainment value and the laughs that keep people sitting there and wanting more.

I had been wanting to peel back the layers of who I am for so long, but I felt like I needed to prove how solid my work is first.

There is nothing quixotic or romantic in wanting to change the world. It is possible. It is the age-old vocation of all humanity.

Anybody in the next centuries wanting to know what it was like to be a poet in the middle of the 20th century should read Kaddish.

I just hate people who are lazy. To be on my team, you have to have energy and a sense of wanting to learn. That really excites me.

I think patriotism is all about wanting to see America better, wanting to see those are oppressed do better and get treated better.

Of course I've had my moments of wanting to go back to Scotland, and I almost did a couple of times, but other things just came up.

As an artist, you're always going to be yearning and wanting and never satisfied. I never feel like I've really achieved something.

I decided to do something I've been wanting to do for a long time - go get a chef and a nutritionist - and I brought them on board.

I've been wanting to have a child since Dashiell was 1, but I was working too much, and there was a lot going on in my relationship.

I think anyone in life, everyone in the world, no matter what work they do, they should think of wanting to get on, to win, improve.

I don't believe you should stay onstage until people are begging you to get off. I like the idea of leaving them wanting a bit more.

Being older, I can't imagine a parent not wanting to be in their kid's life. I will just never understand it. To me, it's priceless.

I've spent so much of my youth trying to change people or change girls and then having it done to me and people wanting me to change.

I remember as a kid not ever wanting to have friends around to my house because it was, for want of a better description, disheveled.

When you're poor, you are invisible. Every poor person will tell you nobody sees you. So being famous was me just wanting to be seen.

I don't blame folks for not wanting to put me in their movies or whatever. I understand if their audiences had an association with me.

I can understand wanting to be invisible and mistrusting people and wanting to understand everything before you engage with the world.

If you're wanting something salty, do air-popped popcorn. That, to me, would be a healthier choice than having any kind of fried chip.

As soon as I started writing, other writers stopped wanting me acting in their shows - maybe they thought I was going to rewrite them.

For a long time, my shows were about people walking out or about getting my gigs canceled or having the presenter not wanting to pay me.

I was just tapped on the shoulder from above and told to write these songs, as opposed to wanting to be a success in the music business.

There's nothing wrong with wanting a partner and doing the things to have one. To protect ourselves, we have to say, 'I don't need one.'

When I'm working, I have a hard time switching off, and when I'm not working, I have a hard time thinking of ever wanting to work again.

I'd just like to be able to walk outside as everyone does and enjoy time with my friends, not feel bad for not wanting to take a picture.

I used to hate doing color. I hated transparency film. The way I did color was by not wanting to know what kind of film was in my camera.

Disagreements will always occur between us, but we all approach them wanting the best for each and every one of us, for the whole people.

I don't think anyone should grow up wanting to go around killing people. I don't think anyone should grow up wanting to be a secret agent.

I can't sing but I can understand wanting to keep a balance, trying to pursue dreams, while creating a stable environment for my children.

We had to make ends meet. My parents were divorced, so my father wasn't really in my life. We grew up like most kids, just wanting things.

I don't believe in perfection. I don't think there is such a thing. But the energy of wanting things to be great is a perfectionist energy.

They couldn't sign me until after I graduated, but right after graduation day, I had nine different organizations there wanting to sign me.

Dinner is a great first date. Don't believe that stuff about girls not wanting to eat on a first date - sharing a romantic meal is so sexy.

The video aside, 'P.D.A' is a song about when you really love somebody, you just can't resist wanting to show that out in public sometimes.

I'm not afraid of wanting money at all. Money will give me more power to do things that are truer to my spirit than what I'm already doing.
