I knew I wanted to do something creative. I didn't think I'd have the luxury of doing something like that because I didn't know anyone who had pursued anything they really adored but I had dreams for singing or writing.

Well my thoughts about California are kind of mythological. To me as well as being a real place it's a place where people go to find something - to find happiness or to realize their dreams. So it has that kind of quality of heroism and heartache and Australia has that as well.

The hoary joke in the literary world based on 'Dreams From My Father ' was that if things had worked out differently for Barack Obama he could have made it as a writer.

We in the majority have worked hard to empower people to create opportunities to make jobs to do things that turn America into a place where people can achieve their dreams.

Screenplays I didn't really care about journalism travel books getting my writer friends to write about their dreams or something. I just determined to write the books I had to write.

I was always a closet lover of acting. My mom was very practical. She never ever restricted our dreams always told us we could do or be anything. Then I said 'Maybe I want to be an actor'. And she said 'Maybe not that'.

I'm thinking of slowing down on modeling and branching out to other things. I want to pursue some new and old dreams and start making them happen.

It's weird to say but every time I look at my daughter and I see this little living breathing thing that came from me that represents all of the hopes and dreams that I would want for her I see a miracle.

I thin many people's deviant behavior starts with dreams because dreams are so non-linear... as if there's an assumption that everything has to be linear or has to be plotted.

Not only the priceless heritage of our fathers of our seamen of our Empire builders is being thrown away in a war that serves no British interests - but our alliance leader Stalin dreams of nothing but the destruction of that heritage of our fathers?

It is easier to learn to interpret dreams if you have a reason to use them for something constructive. You apply your dream insights to making constructive changes in your life.

I never had any big dreams about doing something on a huge scale.

If you want to achieve your dreams you must follow them and the best way to follow them is not to think about wanting to be very rich but to think about doing something that you really want to do.

I want to keep my dreams even bad ones because without them I might have nothing all night long.

The worst thing you can do to a kid is tell them that their dreams are invalid.

What's interesting is for myself when I become really attracted to somebody I find them in my dreams... conversations nothing more.

No movie influenced me more to go after my dreams than 'Flashdance.' After seeing it I took 15 dance lessons a week. I cut all my sweatshirts. I did the 'Maniac' thing.

A lot of people put pressure on themselves and think it will be way too hard for them to live out their dreams. Mentors are there to say 'Look it's not that tough. It's not as hard as you think. Here are some guidelines and things I have gone through to get to where I am in my career.'

Dreams really tell you about yourself more than anything else in this world could ever tell you.

I wasn't prepared to get a mammogram until I was 40 years old like I'd been told. I never in my wildest dreams expected anything to be wrong.

No I never had any dreams. The process of art is a dream in itself. The artist just doesn't... you work out something. It's yours. You don't have to go to sleep to do that. You do that on the canvas.

Vision gets the dreams started. Dreaming employs your God-given imagination to reinforce the vision. Both are part of something I believe is absolutely necessary to building the life of a champion a winner a person of high character who is consistently at the top of whatever game he or she is in.

When I began to choreograph and find my way pulling other artists' dreams out and changing music in a visual way there was still a part of me that had something more to say. There was still a desire to rock a stage and ultimately perform the eight count of my dream but there was a lot of insecurity there.

Talking about food is like talking about your dreams. Everyone has something to say. We all have to eat it's just what we eat which differs. Some people eat for fuel and I feel bad for them.
