Creed was ended by egos and people wanting to do their own thing and poor decision-making.
I prefer watching movies on the sofa rather than sitting next to Bob Geldof at a premiere and wanting to kill yourself.
Being able to borrow against one’s crypto assets gives one options, when wanting to purchase a property, and aligns with my philosophy that real estate and tokenization will be a quadrillion dollar market.
I wanted to be in New York because I wanted to be on ‘SNL.’ I spent a lot of time wanting to be on ‘Saturday Night Live’ as a kid. That’s what I wanted.
Some people talk about children wanting to be born as though somewhere out there in the collective unconscious there’s a spirit, or a thought or an idea that wants to be born. And I sometimes feel that way about stories… that they’re there and they want to be told.
My mother was always encouraging about my wanting to be an artist.
Homeopathy – an invention of the Father of Lies! I have tried it and found it wanting. I would swallow their whole doles’ medicine chest for sixpence, and be sure of finding myself neither better nor worse for it.
I can’t put this delicately – everyone goes to their high school reunion wanting to see who they ‘beat.’
I had a basketball net that my dad had put up outside. I went out there and dribbled all day long. I wanted to play basketball. Then I’d go baseball, and then I’d go to football. I remember playing football in a plowed field. I grew up going from one thing to the next wanting to play something.
I think performance art comes from a simple place of wanting to express things beyond just sound.
I never pushed the envelope of wanting people to know me, or be on the covers of magazines. I just want to enjoy what I’m doing.
I think that it’s hard enough being an adolescent and wanting so much to fit in with your peers, your schoolmates, and to erase any sign of difference, to be part of the group. And being biracial but also being black in a predominately white school marked me as different.
Maturity is wanting nothing but what we see with the purity of our heart.
I just don’t understand the Big 12 not wanting to own Houston, Texas, which is soon to be the third-largest populous in the United States. To me, it’s a no-brainer. I’m just kind of disappointed and shocked it’s not an automatic.
A lot of my work has to do with not allowing my characters to have an ego in a way that the stomach doesn’t have an ego when it’s wanting to throw up. It just does it.
To me, I definitely stand in the corner of wanting to give voice to the bullied, and not the bully.
People who aren’t perhaps that into sport are going to be following me and wanting to be part of the Olympics. That definitely does bring added pressure but as an athlete the Olympics are the ultimate competition.
I stop wanting what I am looking for, looking for it.
I think the biggest part of being on a sound system is wanting to always be the best.
Well, you know I grew up wanting to be a Clemson Tiger and I ended up being able to play there and I went to school there.
My capacity for wanting to create has never faltered. If anything, it’s gained momentum.
Somehow we got used to death, and then we dehumanised it. We account for conflicts in figures. Ebola is 13,500 infected, 5,000 people have died… People are losing their sense of empathy, their sense of wanting to do something.
I wrote ‘Evil Spider’ about wanting someone that’s already taken. I guess it was based on a personal experience, but I went a lil extreme on the theme… me being a spider trying to snare someone. In real life, I was just observing!
Typically, discussions of the safety net boil down to one side wanting to spend more in the name of compassion, and the other side wanting to spend less in the name of fiscal restraint. In both cases, money serves as a proxy for moral responsibility.
During my undergraduate training at UCLA, I was studying finance and securities; my particular interest was with mutual funds. Wanting to get into a high position at some of the companies that were doing that, I knew that law would be useful.
Loving the country, wanting to preserve the culture and identity – protecting the interests of the Americans in America, of the French in France, of the Israelis in Israel – seems to me perfectly legitimate.
I always thrive on wanting to play against the best.
Parading our own brilliance and exulting in other people’s errors is not very nice. For that matter, even wanting to parade our own brilliance and exult in other people’s errors is not very nice, although it is certainly very human.
Since I was a baby my goal was to be on TV because film was just impossible – you never got any Asian women in Western cinema. I grew up wanting to be in ‘East-Enders’ because film wasn’t even a dream. The community were very much like, ‘How can you want to act? It’s such a low-class profession.’
I’m very grateful that I have one of those faces that seems to blend back into the crowd. A lot of people pay lip service to wanting a normal life, but it’s actually very important to me.
I think escapism is something artists write about pretty frequently – it’s something everyone can relate to, the concept of wanting something more, wanting to find solace, wanting to have something better.
I was a very young girl and I got into fashion very much by accident, wanting to be independent. What was wonderful was that while I was learning and discovering – learning about the work, discovering myself as a woman – I was allowing other women to feel the same way.
For me, understanding your heritage and wanting to leave a legacy was always important to me.
When you’re a pop star, it’s a little conservative; you always have to stay in a box. You have fans that are five and fans that are 65; there are so many people wanting so many things.
I think that I always thought that if my uncle was on Broadway, then I must inherently have a good voice. I don’t think that for a while I did. Eventually, out of sheer will of never wanting to get a job or go to college, I found my way into doing music full-time.
Pretexts are not wanting when one wishes to use them.
Rock stars wanting to write is even worse than wanting to act in movies, right?
I just had this moment where I was sitting at my desk, and I realized what it was that I’d been wanting to do since I was a little girl – and that was act.
I was very small, about 3 or 4 I think, and just wanted to be the people on telly telling these wonderful stories. Obviously the idea grew and matured with me but I can’t ever remember wanting to do anything else. I’ve just sort of taken it for granted all my life that that was what I would do.
I don’t appreciate, really, talking to journalists when there’s a sense of wanting to kick up dust to sell more papers or get more hits on their Internet site.
I can understand wanting to have millions of dollars; there’s a certain freedom, meaningful freedom, that comes with that.
I started off wanting very much to be a newscaster.
We are always taking a hard look at how life was in the past in coming up with interesting subject matter for our various series, and remembering how much I used to want an encyclopedia as a kid made me realize wanting a set is very unlikely for teens today, and that conversation would be interesting.
While also, importantly, not wanting to dumb it down or pretend the days of ‘difficult’ poetry are over, because we live in a pluralist culture and there’s room for ‘difficult’ poetry alongside rap and everything else. And poetry won’t be for everyone, but everyone should have the choice.
I was wanting to be a kid at 18 instead of being a young woman.
I developed a group of friends around me that were all as crazy as I was about wanting to make films.
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.
I don’t even think places like the National Youth Theatre (NYT) are necessarily about wanting to be an actor when you grow up. They’re about meeting people from different backgrounds and different religions and different cultures, and mixing with people that you wouldn’t ordinarily meet.
I’m a ’90s kid, so I went into the entire album process wanting to incorporate little touches of that sound from hip-hop and R&B. Just enough to where you hear it subtly and then go, ‘This kind of reminds me of that time.’
I think of myself as someone who gives everything, and I wake up every day wanting to keep growing.
I think of myself as unconventional, I guess. I maybe always had a problem with authority, like a stubbornness about what’s expected – despite wanting to get some recognition through performing – but also not always wanting to do the expected thing.
When I was starting out, I did not do short fiction well, because I kept wanting to write books.
I’ve definitely been in relationships with friends where I wanted to do something different than I know a friend has. It’s that complicated balance between wanting to do what you know is right for you and not wanting to hurt someone’s feelings.
The greatest gift you have been given is the gift of your imagination – what do you dream of wanting to do?
But even writing the column for the ‘Telegraph,’ that idea of working to deadlines, which as an actor that’s not something you have to do in the same way. It’s excited me into wanting to do a bit more.
