Representing your country is what you want.
My family wasn't involved in the college. They were more of just your 'white trash' kind of family. And so I have that kind of background, but I always kind of aspired to be something else, and I made a lot of different friends over the years that were passing through.
I was in California, and I was going to UCLA, and I knew I certainly didn't have movie star looks. I remember seeing pictures and photos of Ethel Merman and Mary Martin, who were kind of average looking. I said, 'Well, that's for me, then, to go back to New York and try to be in musical comedy on Broadway.'
For a long time, I wanted children. When I was about 30 or 32, I really thought about it.
I had it in my head when I was in college that I wanted to be a writer, but it took me a long time to commit to being a writer. Up until then, I had worked one dead-end job after another while writing on the side.
Someday' talks about a dream of mine.
I didn't think I was going to school to be a doctor - no offense, but that wasn't me.
I think of me being a painter eventually.
You always hear people saying, 'I hope I'm not turning into my dad', but I'd be honoured if I became half as decent a bloke as he is.
I don't think the people wanna see me play Clyde Johnson the architect.
I just love cars; I've been like that since I was a kid. It's an infatuation because we grew up poor. Cars was something we were always trying to get.
I don't want to be the next Michael Jordan, I only want to be Kobe Bryant.
When I was teenager, Britney Spears was it - that was the pop world that was happening, and I knew I wasn't in it.
Your dream was given to you. If someone else can't see it for you, that's fine, it was given to you and not them. It's your dream. Hold it. Nourish it. Cultivate it!
That's always been on my mind - to play games.
There came a time when I felt I was not going to be satisfied with life unless I could write.
Baseball is what I always wanted to do with my life.
I never expect I would become a K-pop star.
I look to an out gay man or woman as pretty much what I would aspire to. The strength that it takes to do that and the floodgates that open and what they pay for it.
Celebrity is quite a fraught word. It is not something I aspire to, but I can certainly see why it could be.
Growing up, I always dreamed of winning an NBA championship, never a gold. A gold was something that never crossed my mind.
I come from a family of professional dog-showers, one step above carnies, but I didn't want to join the family business.
Am I the woman I think I am, the woman I want to be? More importantly, am I the woman the Savior needs me to be?
Shakespeare was a man who wrote poetry. I'm a man who writes poetry. Why not compare yourself to the best?
The idea that I should become president seems to me too visionary to require a serious answer. It has never entered my head, nor is it likely to enter the head of any other person.
