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.
We are human beings. We operate from wanting to be rewarded.
There are a lot more female writers wanting to direct their own material and hopefully will be given the opportunity.
Quakers are known for wanting to give back. Ban the bomb and the civil rights movement and the native American struggle for justice – those things were very, very front-burner in my childhood, as were the ideas of working for peace and if you have more than you need, then you share it with people who don’t.
I think that some of the most amazing places to be or to grow up are the places right outside of great cities, because you’re sort of constantly in this suspended state of, like, looking inside the window, wanting to be in the party. I think it breeds good feelings.
Trees face many difficulties, what with deforestation and pollution, but that didn’t stop me from wanting to be one – to just stop feeling and live.
I want fewer interruptions in my day. I have eliminated a lot of things from my life. I’m on a declining scale of wanting things.
I’d been very certain about not wanting to do the acting thing because of my father. I thought I’d always have the father-son thing of ‘He got you the part.’
I don’t want to paint myself as some villain – I was never a bad guy doing horrible things, but I got too caught up in wanting a very specific thing to happen to the band. Ultimately, I had to find the ability in myself to get over that and stop being so stringent and learn to laugh a little bit more.
I was a very wanting child.
Liberalism has never been about establishing a universal standard. Liberalism is simply intellectual cover for those wanting to gain political power and increase the size of the state.
I think there’s something about wanting to stand in the spotlight. I think the ball is a spotlight, for example, and I think they want to stand in that. I a lot of times see – LeBron is a guy that vacillates between wanting to do that and then wanting to get somebody else involved.
When you have a limited resource and you have a lot of people wanting that resource, then those who get more justify as to why they got more, and those who get less say they have been treated badly.
I started to work at the Colony in March 1958. I remember my first day because the telephone started to ring, and it was Sinatra, three for lunch, his usual table; Onassis, two for lunch, usual table; the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, Leland Hayward, Truman Capote, all wanting their usual tables.
I grew up wanting to be a painter and paint pictures.
I find myself wanting to make music at the dining room table or in the bedroom – I’m kind of a mobile writer, so I sort of move around the house. But the attic is definitely where I can make the most noise. While everyone on the lower floors screams ‘Earthquake!’ But no! It’s just my bass!
I have gone to many theaters where it is so unpleasant with the commercials before the movie, the volume, and the disrespect of the filmgoers. So I understand people not wanting to go to the theater.
And I didn’t grow up wanting to be a director. I grew up wanting to be a writer, so for me, that was always the goal – to be a novelist, not a screenwriter. And I think, again, if I didn’t have the novels, maybe I’d be much more frustrated by not having directed yet.
Happiness isn’t getting what you want, it’s wanting what you got.
It was all about wanting to get revenge. Pathetic, really, but it still is the motivation.
Each time I invent something and have it manufactured, it’s so incredibly exciting that I can’t imagine ever wanting to stop. Envisioning new products is easy for me. I just don’t have enough time in the day to design them all.
I adopted a pet because I have been wanting one for the longest time. In fact, I am really close to Ravi Dubey’s dog Moyo.
I constantly have little panic attacks of wanting to change something on a production level, but I let go.
I do not read advertisements. I would spend all of my time wanting things.
So much of Sue Sylvester, the angry woman, came from that part of my life, wanting to crush other people’s dreams and judging others so harshly, which is always just a way of deflecting your own self-judgment.
All businesses require capital, management and labor, and business executives, wanting to grow and maintain profitable enterprises, have a strong incentive to keep costs, including labor, as low as possible.
You can only sit on the frustration of wanting to express something for so long.
I have an older sister named Haley and she wanted to be an actress. So I wanted to be an actress. It’s really funny the way that some people don’t give kids enough credit for like really being driven, and really wanting to do things so badly.
I can only say that there is not a man living who wishes more sincerely than I do, to see a plan adopted for the abolition of it – but there is only one proper and effectual mode by which it can be accomplished, and that is by Legislative authority: and this, as far as my suffrage will go, shall never be wanting.
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.
Throughout Yorkshire’s history, the committee had not been known for its visionary approach. They just assumed that because Yorkshire had been fantastic in the past, and the county was full of kids wanting to play cricket, everything would be okay.
Everybody thought I was a bit of an eccentric for wanting to be out there looking at the stars, but I still do.
I was only 24 then, but 18 of those 24 years had been dedicated to wanting to get to that moment.
I’d lie in bed in my dormitory and grab at bits of my body, wanting to tear them off… I was so large by then that, in the heat, my thighs chafed together and bled. I was very unhappy, and yet no one ever asked me how I felt.
I have a rough time wanting to spend billions and billions and trillions of dollars to help people who won’t help themselves, won’t lift a finger, and expect the federal government to do everything.
One of the main reasons for wanting to perform live again was to have contact with that audience.
It’s unfortunate that all business gets painted as wanting to oppose the environment and slow change.
I’m perfectly fine with the fact that lots of young folks are wanting to watch anime and read manga. I’m perfectly happy that they are doing things online, reading there as opposed to traditional print magazines.
I come from a strong religious background, and I had a very conservative upbringing. So I was nervous, and confused. Here I was wanting to be Whitney Houston, so why did I have to dress in lingerie to do that? I didn’t get it.
I always think the really unfortunate thing about the Australian film industry is its lack of momentum. And I don’t mean this in a derogatory way. I’m always wanting it to pick up momentum, and I’m wondering if that’s even possible.
My advice to young people wanting to make music and to be in this industry is to really spend your time making music. Make so much music you have no friends. Make music. Figure out what it is you love, and… because if you’re making cool art, then everything else will fall into line.
Economists create their own worlds. We’re like little gods with our artificial economics, wanting to see what happens.
I know what wanting and craving adventure feels like, I can really relate to that.
There are Christians who think there were seven actual days, or that creation was over time. They have answers for dinosaurs and things of that nature. And I don’t claim to have any of those answers. And I understand people wanting to have discussions about it.
Power might feel tasty and good in the moment, but it will never be satisfying, never fill you up. Yep, no matter how much power you get, you will always feel empty. You just keep wanting more and more power.
I was always into music, but I wanted to do film when I was kid. I remember seeing big movies and wanting to do them. Then I was lucky enough to act in some of them, and I fell in love with it.
I think the obsession with wanting to change yourself is crazy over the top.
Perhaps when we find ourselves wanting everything, it is because we are dangerously close to wanting nothing.
The Lord has been there from wanting to be a momma, to having a wonderful childhood life and dreaming of having a good motherhood as a child; always wanting to meet a good old country boy and having someone to love as much as I love my husband Roland and having a little boy that is a mixture of the both of us.
If living by these sets of morals and principles and wanting to help better my land, better my country, my community, my team, my environment and helping the next person help themselves, if that’s considered crazy, then I’m a crazy.
A lot of the stories are internal. They leak it to me wanting to get attention, wanting to get that headline. More times than not, I will not give it to them.
The pop world is cool, but I never really thought of myself as part of it or wanting to be a part of it because I’m on a label that’s not really like that. They’re not trying to dress me up, they’re not trying to do things like that. I feel like I’m sort of separate from that, actually.
