I told my father I wanted to play the banjo and so he saved the money and got ready to give me a banjo for my next birthday and between that time and my birthday I lost interest in the banjo and was playing guitar.

I always wanted to shave. It is a very natural process. For my birthday I got a lot of shaving stuff.

I just had my 30th birthday and we went turkey shooting. It's what I wanted to do so we went.

I trained to be a priest - started to. I went to seminary school when I was 11. I wanted to be a priest but when they told me I could never have sex not even on my birthday I changed my mind.

This is a wonderful way to celebrate an 80th birthday... I wanted to be 65 again but they wouldn't let me - Homeland Security.

My mother asked me what I wanted for my birthday so I said I wanted to read poetry with her.

I wanted to buy a candle holder but the store didn't have one. So I got a cake.

We think the Mac will sell zillions but we didn't build the Mac for anybody else. We built it for ourselves. We were the group of people who were going to judge whether it was great or not. We weren't going to go out and do market research. We just wanted to build the best thing we could build.

You're not going to say anything about me that I'm not going to say about myself. There's so many things that I think about myself if someone really wanted to get at me they could say this and this and this. So I'm going to say it before they can. It's the best policy for me.

All I wanted was to connect my moods with those of Paris. Beauty paints and when it painted most I shot.

I just wanted to see every single musical I could. The very first one I saw was 'Beauty and the Beast ' the only one I could get tickets for and then 'Les Miserables' and then 'Chicago.'

After 'Freaks and Geeks ' I dealt with several producers who wanted to cover up all my beauty marks every single mole on my body. They tried to cover them on my first two episodes of 'Dawson's Creek ' and it just looked ridiculous so I had to put my foot down. But it's not something I'm insecure about.

I really wanted there to be something in my life that I enjoy just for the beauty of it.

A few years ago I lost 30 pounds and people still wanted to criticize. And honestly I'm happy with myself if I'm a little heavier. I realized: 'Why am I trying to conform to someone else's idea of beauty?' I think I'm beautiful either way.

I'm only wanted by directors for the image I give off and it makes me angry. I always wanted to be an actor and not a beauty pageant winner.

Beauty opened all the doors it got me things I didn't even know I wanted and things I certainly didn't deserve.

I have always known what I wanted and that was beauty... in every form.

I always have one or two sometimes more Navajo or other tribes' cultural elements in mind when I start a plot. In Thief of Time I wanted to make readers aware of Navajo attitude toward the dead respect for burial sites.

I've always been a guy who's pretty supportive its just my nature so I came in to the situation with the attitude that I wanted to support Johnny and make it work.

I always had the attitude that I wanted to throw a no-hitter every game.

Bob Altman had this relaxed but serious attitude. Everybody loved him. I wanted him to adopt me.

Galleries began growing in both number and size in the late seventies when artists who worked in lofts wanted to exhibit their work in spaces similar to the ones the art was made in.

I had wanted a tape recorder since I was tiny. I thought it was a magic thing. I never got one until just before I went to art school.

What an artist is trying to do for people is bring them closer to something because of course art is about sharing. You wouldn't be an artist unless you wanted to share an experience a thought.
