I want prose fiction to be recognized as that, and I'm not interested in writing as it becomes more personal.
‐‐ John C. Hawkes
I want readers to rehearse that day when everything shatters and think through what they'll hang onto when that happens.
‐‐ Terri Blackstock
I want readers turning pages until three o'clock in the morning. I want the themes of books to stick around for a reader. I'm always trying to find a way to balance characters and theme.
‐‐ Guy Gavriel Kay
I want 'Rent' to last forever.
‐‐ Jesse L. Martin
I want roles without anger and feistiness. I want to show weakness and sadness, some love, some happiness.

I want romance.
‐‐ Shania Twain
I want Ron to stand up to Malfoy and punish him.
‐‐ Rupert Grint
I want simply to learn about the world and live freely.
‐‐ Laura Dekker
I want six kids. We'll see how it goes, but I want a big family.
‐‐ Holly Madison
I want so much for my lover. At night when our beds are drawn close together I waken and see his dear yellow head on the pillow - sometimes his arm thrown over on my bed - and I kiss his hand, very softly so that it will not waken him.
‐‐ Dawn Powell
I want some colleague to be free to come help me when I say the time has come. That's what I'm fighting for, me. Now that sounds selfish. And if it helps somebody else, so be it.
‐‐ Jack Kevorkian
I want some day to be able to love with the same intensity and unselfishness that parents love their children with.
‐‐ Shakira
I want some fact-based evidence about where we came from. Things we consider mysterious need not be attributed to a deity.
‐‐ Greg Graffin
I want somebody athletic, outgoing, at least two inches taller than I am, rugged, very outdoorsy, a leader, someone who would overpower me.
‐‐ Susan Ford
I want somebody like my mom. My mom is a very charitable woman. She's the sweetest woman in the world. I'm looking for the second sweetest woman in the world. I'm looking for honesty and a big heart.
‐‐ Jason Derulo
I want somebody who's gonna need me.
‐‐ Anna Torv
I want someone honest, someone who's very sweet to my family and friends, and polite to the other people around me.
‐‐ Selena Gomez
I want someone that I can have fun with and laugh with. I love to laugh, and I'm really sarcastic, so it's important that she can take a joke. I think if you are going to be with someone for a while, you really need someone you can let loose with and let go of all the stress of the day.
‐‐ Matt Lanter
I want someone who can handle me. And I'm not the easiest person to handle.

‐‐ Selena Gomez
I want someone who can respectfully challenge me. I know what I believe, so there's no point in my taking on a relationship with someone who thinks like me or laughs at what I laugh at. I enjoy being with someone who can offer me the opposite.
‐‐ Arielle Kebbel
I want someone who can trust that my big hands are going to take care of them.
‐‐ Dwayne Johnson
I want someone who is my partner in life. Who supports me, and I support her. I can share all my experiences in life with her, and she can share hers back with me. Not only do we love each other, but we accept, embrace, nurture, and care for each other.
‐‐ Tucker Max
I want someone who is open-minded, dedicated to whatever she is doing and isn't afraid to say I love you. As for looks, she shouldn't have three heads. I want a regular human being.
‐‐ Kevin Eubanks
I want someone who will love me for the person I am and not because of my status. It has to be someone who understands the pressure of playing for India. It will be very difficult to be with a person who has her own career because someone has to make sacrifices for the family and house.
‐‐ Yuvraj Singh
I want something completely new and different to happen, and lots of it. Stuff that makes us change the way we think about a market or the world. Something that inspires a new generation of crazy startups doing crazy things.
‐‐ Michael Arrington
I want students to understand specific technologies, but the real goal is that they should be able to reason about how systems work and be intelligently skeptical about technology so that, when they're running the world in a few years, they'll do a good job.
‐‐ Brian Kernighan
I want tap to be something danced in arenas. Sort of like a rock group. Other art forms happen every night. Take theater, opera; there's always opera happening every night.
‐‐ Savion Glover
I want Thailand to be a peaceful country.
‐‐ Thaksin Shinawatra
I want that every piece of art be honest, never mind what it is about.
‐‐ Ashraf Barhom
I want that fifth championship. If that does not present itself, then I'm closer to retirement.
‐‐ Juan Manuel Marquez
I want that Sinatra type of fame. It's not the 'Whoever's the hot pop star at the moment' fame. It's the 'Walk into a room and everybody just kind of politely nods their heads' fame. Sinatra fame.
‐‐ Jerrod Carmichael
I want that which is hilarious and that which is heartbreaking to occupy the same territory in the book because I think they very often occupy the same territory in life, much as we try to separate them.
‐‐ Richard Russo
I want the American people to understand that conservatism is an ideology of protecting the people and the people's rights.

I want the ballet world to be given the respect that it deserves and to be seen by more people - for so many to experience the beauty that I've received from the ballet world.
‐‐ Misty Copeland
I want the BBC to be a mass market public service broadcaster still funded by the licence fee... and the licence fee is more durable than many people in the commercial sector believe.
‐‐ Gavyn Davies
I want the big drama. I always said I don't want a wedding I want a parade.
‐‐ Star Jones
I want the 'Book of Basketball' to do well if only so I can shop an absolutely ridiculous topic for my next book: like, a book about basketball cards, or an unauthorized biography of A. J. Daulerio.
‐‐ Bill Simmons
I want the chance to play very different characters, and I've always wanted to do more films.
‐‐ Joanne Froggatt
I want the concentration and the romance, and the worlds all glued together, fused, glowing: have no time to waste any more on prose.
‐‐ Virginia Woolf
I want the Congress that really is going to listen to the people. I really don't care what party it is anymore.
‐‐ Sophie B. Hawkins
I want the entire smartphone, the entire Internet, on my wrist.
‐‐ Steve Wozniak
I want the fact that I existed to mean something.
‐‐ Harry Chapin
I want the feuds to come back - there aren't enough rap feuds anymore. I want a serious rap-off.
‐‐ Phoebe Tonkin
I want the French people to respect values that allow each individual to practice his or her faith, but in the frame of our common rules of secularism.
‐‐ Francois Hollande
I want the government to provide the military so we don't get invaded by somebody and destroyed. I want the government to provide the roads so I can get from point A to B. In terms of taking care of my day to day needs, I want to do that myself. I want my community to do that.
‐‐ Ben Carson
