When other little girls wanted to be ballet dancers I kind of wanted to be a vampire.

I am confident I will set foot again in Tibet in my lifetime.

Sometimes I’m fascinated with how famous my work could be while I’m not so famous.

I was kind of secretly hoping one of my kids would go out and make a million bucks. So when they put me in a home, at least I’ll have a window with a view.

I always wanted to be a Vine star. I wasn’t, thank God.

In order to fulfill the aspirations of masses, we have to sharpen the tool called the government machinery: we have to make it keen, more dynamic, and it is in this direction that we are working.

I have met 18 million youth, and each wants to be unique.

The fame thing is interesting because I never wanted to be famous, and I never dreamt I would be famous.

I never dreamt, in my dream, I’m Dalai Lama.

I know that I always wanted things. I was always proud of my people, proud of my home, but I always wanted more. I think most people do.

We must think and act like a nation of a billion people and not like that of a million people. Dream, dream, dream!

I once wanted to prove myself by being a great actress. Now I want to prove that I’m a person. Then maybe I’ll be a great actress.

When I was growing up, I wanted to adopt, because I was aware there were kids that didn’t have parents.

The only thing I ever wanted to be was a professional football player.

There are only two tragedies in life: one is not getting what one wants, and the other is getting it.

I dream of a church that is a mother and shepherdess.

Everybody has goals, aspirations or whatever, and everybody has been at a point in their life where nobody believed in them.

It is natural to want to have a future.

I was sure I’d set the world on fire, and it was hard for a young feller like me to realize the truth – that I hadn’t set the world on fire, and I was totally unprepared to handle the consequences if ‚The Big Trail‘ had been a success and launched me as a star.

In high school I wanted to be a rock star and was in a lot of bands.

Like other kids wanted to become firemen or astronauts, I wanted to make people laugh.

Like so many American families, our families weren’t asking for much. They didn’t begrudge anyone else’s success or care that others had much more than they did… in fact, they admired it.

I want people to follow their dreams, yes… but I’m not interested in telling young black kids how to be rappers… I want to show them that there’s so many other paths you can take, besides a rapper or basketball player.

I never expected anyone to take care of me, but in my wildest dreams and juvenile yearnings, I wanted the house with the picket fence from June Allyson movies. I knew that was yearning like one yearns to fly.

If you’re working 50 hours a week to try to maintain family income, and your children have the kinds of aspirations that come from being flooded with television from age one, and associations have declined, people end up hopeless, even though they have every option.

One of the huge imbalances in life is the disparity between your daily existence, with its routines and habits, and the dream you have within yourself of some extraordinarily satisfying way of living.

When I got into this, I never thought about reviews. I never thought about what people would say about me, I was just a young guy who was excited to become a comedian and an actor, and I just wanted to get to do what I got to do.

Hopefully I won’t be the last big splash at Under Armour.

My drive is other people’s success.

Do all you can to make your dreams come true.

As a child, when asked what I would be, I usually said I was going to be a huntsman. A fine profession, truly!

My real dream is to have a whole, like, buy a whole piece of land. Imagine, like, a long driveway. Like, a cul de sac-type street, with maybe, like, seven houses. Me be right here. Have my mom be able to be right here. My brother over here. My girl’s grandmother and family right here. Friends over there. That’s my real dream.

I used to think as I looked out on the Hollywood night, ‚There must be thousands of girls sitting alone like me dreaming of being a movie star.‘ But I’m not going to worry about them. I’m dreaming the hardest.

I want to elongate my cricketing career as a consistent player. I have personal goals I would like to achieve someday.

But I think there are a set of experiences that turn a potential writer into a working writer, and then there are places in your life were you start to recognize what you want to do.

I know a lot of people say they always believed they could get into F1, but I didn’t quite believe that, certainly not when I was 7 and maybe not until I was 14. It was always so far away.

If you ask people what they’ve always wanted to do, most people haven’t done it. That breaks my heart.

When I was a little girl, I always dreamed of being a star. I didn’t really know what all that meant. I didn’t know.

I think that if all kids aspire to reach a point where they could feed themselves and a few of their friends, this would be good for the world surely.

Every man is said to have his peculiar ambition. Whether it be true or not, I can say, for one, that I have no other so great as that of being truly esteemed of my fellow-men, by rendering myself worthy of their esteem. How far I shall succeed in gratifying this ambition is yet to be developed.

If you dream the proper dreams, and share the myths with people, they will want to grow up to be like you.

I knew from the age of 16 that I wanted to be a writer because I just didn’t think I could do anything else. So I read and read and wrote short stories and dreamed of escape.

As a kid, we would drive up and down 77 North – that’s our highway – there would be office buildings on the side of the highway and I’d be like, that’s what my house is going to look like when I get older. I’m going to start making my house look like this.

We’re all dreamers.

Only in our dreams are we free. The rest of the time we need wages.

Some people are painters, and some are ballet dancers, and I’m a writer.

If a great opportunity opens itself up, I would love to be involved… or star in a movie.

When I grow up, I want to be like Balvin.

I always wanted a family.

It’s when children are 15, 16 or 17 that they decide whether they want to be a doctor, an engineer, a politician or go to the Mars or moon. That is the time they start having a dream, and that’s the time you can work on them. You can help them shape their dreams.

A man’s face as a rule says more, and more interesting things, than his mouth, for it is a compendium of everything his mouth will ever say, in that it is the monogram of all this man’s thoughts and aspirations.

Our words have wings, but fly not where we would.

Every artist wants something different out the game.

I always wanted to know, and I always used to daydream, about what it would be like to stand on a really big stage and sing songs for a lot of people, songs that I had written… Daydreaming was kind of my No. 1 thing when I was little, because I didn’t have much of a social life going on.

I always entertain great hopes.

I love dresses, and I’ve definitely thought about designing them someday. I just want to make sure that I wait until the time is perfect and I can do it right.

Ever since I was a little kid, I wanted to be in combat.

Dreaming about being an actress, is more exciting then being one.

When I was five I think, that’s when I started wanting to be an actress.
