I just wanted to go play in the big leagues. But possibly playing for the Yankees is very special.
‐‐ Nick Johnson
I just wanted to have fun for myself - I felt I had a lot to say, and I realized that I missed having a magazine as a place to express my ideas. The Times column is a place for me to unload those perceptions.
‐‐ Tina Brown
I just wanted to keep the game close until we scored some runs.
‐‐ Jimmy Haynes
I just wanted to live in books and in movies.
‐‐ Janet Fitch
I just wanted to make a record that wasn't escapism. Like, I didn't want to write another record that was devoid of meaningful content.
‐‐ Dan Deacon
I just wanted to make melodies. I started trying to do my own thing and let the melodies make the genre themselves.
‐‐ Kygo
I just wanted to make sure that what I write is what appears on screen, to not have some idiot change it on its way to the screen.
‐‐ Joe Eszterhas
I just wanted to move out of Portland to do something.
‐‐ Elliott Smith
I just wanted to perform, to sing, dance and act.
‐‐ Jennifer Ellison
I just wanted to play a cowboy for a long time.
‐‐ Daniel Craig
I just wanted to play as long as I could. When you stop playing, you're not going to get it back. When you don't enjoy it, that's the time to pack it in.
‐‐ Ian Rush
I just wanted to play tennis. I started because I wanted to pick up another sport and then as I was slowly getting better I wanted to see how far I can go but I always wanted to be myself. I wanted to be original. I didn't want to copy anybody's style.
‐‐ Jana Novotna
I just wanted to say hi to Pittsburgh as well because I miss it.
‐‐ Jackie Evancho
I just wanted to say one more thing: I also think that when you go to play music, you're there to play music.
‐‐ Jon Fishman
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.'
‐‐ America Ferrera
I just wanted to show people - maybe I'm wrong - that I can still really sing. I can sing better than I ever have before. My intonation is way better, my timing, my phrasing - there's a lot more expression; I feel it's a more lived-in, soulful voice.
‐‐ Dan Hill
I just wanted to sing, in church or wherever.
‐‐ George Jones
I just wanted to win on the road, honestly. I don't remember the road ever being this tough.
‐‐ Tim Duncan
I just wanted to write something about running, but I realized that to write about my running is to write about my writing. It's a parallel thing in me.
‐‐ Haruki Murakami
I just was apologizing for maybe being a little goofy.
‐‐ Guy Clark
I just was in the second round. That's painful, because always is tough to lose, but well, that's sport. You win, you lose.
‐‐ Rafael Nadal
I just was mesmerized by all of this life everywhere I looked. And so I wanted to be a marine biologist.
‐‐ Edith Widder
I just was not going to subject my record to the bleak prospects of a primary election.
‐‐ Arlen Specter
I just wasn't academic. I wanted to be in the real world.
‐‐ John Caudwell
I just wasn't cut out to be a Chinese Tiger Mom. I'm more of an Irish Setter Dad.
‐‐ P. J. O'Rourke
I just wasn't one of those girls who dreamt of her wedding day and the birth of her first child.
‐‐ Sarah Jessica Parker
I just watch movies I like over and over. It seems to be a lot of sci-fi stuff. My favorites are probably - besides the first two 'Alien' films, I watch '2001', I watch 'Star Wars', the first ones, because those actually had a huge effect on me as well, 'Empire Strikes Back' especially.
‐‐ Neill Blomkamp
I just watched 'Lethal Weapon' for the first time, and it's awesome... and so violent! Mel is out of his mind in that movie. Although now we know he's just insane - he was very much in his mind.
‐‐ Nicholas Stoller
I just watched Paul Michael Glaser. He was the reason I wanted to do the movie because as a kid I was such a big fan of his. I watched all the episodes and tried to get a feeling for what he was doing.
‐‐ Ben Stiller
I just watched so many Westerns as a kid that you end up using archetypes and sort of tropes of that genre, because there's a language there and you can twist it and turn it on its head or play to it or go sideways at any time.
‐‐ Gore Verbinski
I just watched the entire season of 'Louie' in one flight. What an amazing show.
‐‐ Jason O'Mara
I just wear black and gray all the time. If you Google Image me, you'll just see a bunch of black and gray. It's simple. If I like a shirt, I'll buy six or eight of them, wear them back-to-back, and just wait for somebody to say something. 'That's the same shirt you wore yesterday.' 'Yeah, but this one is fresh.'
‐‐ Hannibal Buress
I just wear jeans, big motorcycle boots and T-shirts that are way too big for me. I like anything that has lived a little bit, that has traces of life on it. Knitwear that's a tiny bit too long because you've pulled it with your hands, or jeans that are starting to get holes.
‐‐ Clemence Poesy
I just wear what I like, and lots of it is British.
‐‐ Natalie Massenet
I just wear what I think looks nice.
‐‐ Joss Stone
I just went and saw 'Crazy, Stupid, Love.' Julianne Moore - I've been in love with her since 'Boogie Nights.' But also, 'The Big Lebowski.'
‐‐ Kyle Chandler
I just went into this business for laughs. I guess I don't mind being an actor so much now.
‐‐ Chevy Chase
I just went off for two months traveling around Europe on a motorcycle and pretty much turned my phone off. I did 5,000 miles with my dad. We went through Holland, Germany, Austria, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia, Montenegro, Italy... and then I did Spain and France by myself.
‐‐ Michael Fassbender
I just went to a wedding of a friend of mine who happens to be gay. Because somebody doesn't think the way I do, doesn't mean that I can't care about them or can't love them.
‐‐ John Kasich
I just went to an acting agency one day and just said, 'I would like to act. Would you take me?' And they took me.
‐‐ Olga Kurylenko
I just went to Harvard a little while, because I graduated from Armstrong High School in Washington and then I went up there but I didn't stay that long because I went into show business.
‐‐ Billy Eckstine
I just went to Hebrew school, had a bar mitzvah. No crazy weird Jewish cult.
‐‐ Hayden Schlossberg
I just went to see too many movies and I sat in too many dark matinees watching those old serials.
‐‐ Sam Elliott
I just went to the hobby shop and got an electricity kit and a chemistry kit, and I'm really excited to do experiments like squeezing an egg into a bottle and growing crystals. I'm really getting into hobbies.
‐‐ Rivers Cuomo
I just went to your typical public schools, and my dad would take us to the movies every week, or he'd buy scalped tickets to San Antonio Spurs games. I remember I was four or five years old and my parents, who were very young, took us to see The Police in Austin, and Iggy Pop opened.
‐‐ Pedro Pascal
I just wish I could understand my father.
‐‐ Michael Jackson
I just wish I got a quarter every time someone clicks on 'Little Women, Big Cars.' We had a 125-page script for this show. We used the creator's house to shoot. But it's expensive to do these shows. They're eventually not going to be able to get the quality of actors.
‐‐ Julie Warner
I just wish that people will be kinder to me when I pass away.
‐‐ Yoko Ono
I just wish the crowd I was associated with was more passionate about what they were doing and less consumed with the commerce of the art form.
‐‐ Shia LaBeouf
