I don't really care to be a movie star.
I'm not in a real rush to be a big star.
Success is the brand on the brow of the man who aimed too low.
I'm not an overly ambitious person; I don't feel like I have to excel.
What career? A man's got a body of film of about four movies in about 10 years or something. I do it because I think I can do a good job of something and I'll enjoy it, do it, and sort of vanish. I don't want to be an actor for hire.
It's not like I think: 'By the age of 40 I've got to be an international household name.' When the opportunity to perform comes up, then I'll take it. It's really good fun. But because I don't crave the attention or the buzz, it's not like I'm desperate for it.
I don't think I'm a slacker, but I don't have aspirations to, like, conquer Hollywood. Or the world. Or anything.
I don't have huge intentions to be some big actress.
I never was good at learning things. I did just enough work to pass. In my opinion it would have been wrong to do more than was just sufficient, so I worked as little as possible.
Honestly, man, I'm not somebody who wants the celebrity. I could really care less about that stuff. I know everyone says it, but I get overwhelmed by it all sometimes.
I don't want to be a director, or to have responsibility for hundreds of people.
I've never been particularly ambitious. I'm driven by the moment.
The reason why so little is done, is generally because so little is attempted.
I have never been terribly ambitious.
For too many years, we, as a country, have suffered from a poverty of aspiration.
I don't think I'll ever be president of anything.
I was just school class clown and that was it. Someday I'll get a job as a cab driver or whatever.
It just doesn't mean anything to me, the high-profile, big money side of things. I just want enough to live on, and to be able to get on with what I do, and hang around my friends.
I've never hankered for any role.
When I set up UTV, my ambitions were quite low.
I was never ambitious to be a good actor. I just love doing it and I seem to be quite suited for it.
I simply don't want to enter the rat race. I like doing movies because I like acting and not because I want to reach the top.
When I settled to writing seriously, which would be in my 30s, I did expect to be published eventually, but my aspirations weren't very high. A published book and a few appreciative readers was my idea of heaven.
I don't want to create a revolution - I just want to create a few more films.
I am not a very ambitious person.
