This is just strictly me wanting to make a record that is the real deal. It is all the stuff that I have learned and know that I remember. It's what I perceive as country music is about.
Vince Gill
Image
I've spent so much of my youth trying to change people or change girls and then having it done to me and people wanting me to change.
Chris Messina
Image
I had that thing of wanting to prove I was a tough kid.
Scott Caan
Image
I think the obsession with wanting to change yourself is crazy over the top.
Downtown Julie Brown
Image
I have found life highly competitive. I accept it. It is useless, merely a hypocritical humbug, to sincerely wish your opponent to win. If you are out to win you are better not wanting to know your opponent, much less grow to like him - and wish him, honestly success over you. I have never functioned that way.
Percy Cerutty

Wanting to win isn't enough. You have to go through a process to improve. That takes patience, perseverance, and intentionality.
John C. Maxwell
Image
The result of this bestial lust is an indiscriminate and promiscuous splaying of all of my energies- wanting all, I accomplish nothing desiring everything, I satisfy nothing and am satisfied by nothing.
Edward Abbey
Image
For awhile, I got stupid about only wanting a leading-man role, but I have no illusions. I know I'm not Brad Pitt.
Breckin Meyer
Image
There is one aspect of happiness that's been well studied, and it's the notion of flow. Ask yourselves, when for you does time stop? When are you truly at home, wanting to be no place else?
Martin Seligman
Image
Work was never about wanting fame or money. I never thought about that. I loved getting the job, going to rehearsal, playing someone else, hanging around with a bunch of actors. I needed that, the way you need water.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Image
Eventually, out of sheer will of never wanting to get a job or go to college, I found my way into doing music full-time.
Nate Ruess
Image
I think that's part of people wanting a wholesome life, to surround yourself with farm animals and fields. That's sort of an American ideal.
Novella Carpenter
Image
I know the anger lies inside of me like I know the beat of my heart and the taste of my spit. It is easier to be furious than to be yearning. Easier to crucify myself in you than to take on the threatening universe of whiteness by admitting that we are worth wanting each other.
Audre Lorde
Image
Steve Forman is a brutally funny writer. His no-nonsense, unadorned style begs comparison to Dashiell Hammett, but Hammett's humor at its darkest never hit home this hard. Reading of Eddie Perlmutter's exploits is like rolling in an aisle paved with broken glass and wanting to do it all over again two minutes later.
Loren D. Estleman
Image
Success is getting what you want. Happiness is wanting what you get.
Dale Carnegie
Image
Just the responsibility of wanting to see my mother have a better life making sure my sister had a better life. I went ahead and accepted that responsibility when I was young and it paid off. That was really the only goal.
Yo Gotti
Image
China's Premier Zhao Ziyang, for all of his billion constituents, seemed in the evening's lovely flow like a favorite uncle, smiling a little too much, wanting to be a bit American, talking about peace and pork chops.
Hugh Sidey
Image
When you're a pop star, it's a little conservative you always have to stay in a box. You have fans that are five and fans that are 65 there are so many people wanting so many things.
Beyonce Knowles
Image
And eternity is a long time. So if you have to spend it with someone I could see wanting to spend it with someone impossible...but interesting.
Meg Cabot
Image
Parading our own brilliance and exulting in other people's errors is not very nice. For that matter, even wanting to parade our own brilliance and exult in other people's errors is not very nice, although it is certainly very human.
Kathryn Schulz
Image
When I was a child I experienced moments of not wanting to see the ugliness, not wanting to see not being wanted. This lack of love went into my eyes and into my mind.
John Lennon
Image
I feel really strongly about not wanting to overly guide the reader about what he or she should think. I really trust the reader to know for themselves and not to need too much. You have your own imagination, your own experiences, your own feelings, and a novel wants ultimately to ask questions. It doesn't assert anything, or shouldn't, I think.
Nicole Krauss
Image
Drinking isn't necessarily the same as wanting to die. But you can't drink without thinking you're killing yourself.
Marguerite Duras
Image
It's a very American trait, this wanting people to think well of us. It's a young want, and I am ashamed of it in myself. I am not always a good daughter, even though my lacks are in areas different from her complaints. Haven't I learned yet that the desire to be perfect is always disastrous and, at the least, loses me in the mire of false guilt?
Madeleine L'Engle
