I never wanted to be famous.
‐‐ Dave Attell
I never wanted to be famous. I only wanted to be great.
‐‐ Ray Charles
I never wanted to be famous. I want to be more famous than I am so I can get the roles. I hate losing the roles. I was famous more for being around people who were famous, and I hate that kind of fame.
‐‐ Johnathon Schaech
I never wanted to be famous. It was amusing at first, but now I hate it. I just wanted to be respected by people I respect. And I wanted to be rich. It's best to get rich, then you can do what you want.
‐‐ Caitlin Moran
I never wanted to be in the show business. I wanted to do special effects.
‐‐ Emraan Hashmi
I never wanted to be like other blues singers. I might like hearing them play, but I've never wanted to be anyone other than myself. There are a few people that I've wished I could play like, but when I tried, it didn't work.
‐‐ B. B. King
I never wanted to be liked by the majority of people, but there were always some people that I desperately wanted to be liked by. And so you've got to behave in a way that... the way I put it is that if you want to be a real intellectual, you've got to have someone to save you.
‐‐ James D. Watson
I never wanted to be mainstream as a writer, but look at what's happened.
‐‐ Anne Enright
I never wanted to be Marilyn - it just happened. Marilyn's like a veil I wear over Norma Jeane.

‐‐ Ian Somerhalder
I never wanted to be one of those 'Where are they now?' kids.
‐‐ Malcolm-Jamal Warner
I never wanted to be part of any scene, I never wanted to be a part of anything, I wanted to do my own thing. Those are the lessons I learned from punk rock.
‐‐ Buzz Osborne
I never wanted to be rich or successful or famous. I just wanted to be happy and have fun.
‐‐ Donna Leon
I never wanted to be road comic.
‐‐ Bobby Lee
I never wanted to be that fad type of artist. When I looked up to artists, watching TV, I wanted to see somebody. I wanted to touch that person. I wanted to sound like them. I wanted to move like them. That' s what I want my fans to do. So that's why, everything that I do, the music I make, how I dress, it's all based off my lifestyle.
‐‐ Tyga
I never wanted to be that person who leaves 'SNL' and nothing happens.
‐‐ Rachel Dratch
I never wanted to be the annoying kid on set.
‐‐ Thomas Sangster
I never wanted to be the face of the brand. You haven't seen me in my own ads. You don't see my logo all over my clothes. From the beginning, I wanted the clothes to stand on their own.
‐‐ John Varvatos
I never wanted to be the great guy or the colorful guy or the interesting guy. I wanted to be the guy who won titles.
‐‐ Pete Sampras
I never wanted to be the guy people looked at. I don't think of myself as being a celebrity; it's too mortifying.

I never wanted to be the most famous, the most beautiful, the most extravagant.
‐‐ Manolo Blahnik
I never wanted to be the next Bruce Lee. I just wanted to be the first Jackie Chan.

‐‐ Pawan Kalyan
I never wanted to become an actor to be famous. I just wanted to be a good actor. It served me pretty well.
‐‐ Rocky Carroll
I never wanted to become an actress because I'd read great literature or seen great Shakespeare. It was more just wanting to understand what the people were really like, why they said all the strange things they did.

I never wanted to change countries; it's something that is part of me.
‐‐ Novak Djokovic
I never wanted to come off as self-important.
‐‐ John Cusack
I never wanted to compete on price in my history because on price, you don't always win.
‐‐ Mickey Drexler
I never wanted to design clothes. I never wanted to work for the fashion industry. Shoes sort of belong to the fashion industry, which is why I'm part of the fashion industry. But that's never been my thought. My thought since I was a child was really to design those shoes for girls on stage.
‐‐ Christian Louboutin
I never wanted to dilute my private passion for the art by airing and arguing it in public.
‐‐ James Broughton
I never wanted to disappoint my family at all.
‐‐ Patti Hansen
I never wanted to do biography just to tell the life of a famous man. I always wanted to use the life of a man to examine political power, because democracy shapes our lives.
‐‐ Robert Caro
I never wanted to do observational humor because I never wanted to tell people what they were seeing.
‐‐ Richard Lewis
I never wanted to do political satire because it seems too surface to me.
‐‐ Tracey Ullman
I never wanted to do reunion shows for the sake of a reunion show. I've done all the 'Brady Bunch' stuff except for the Variety Show, but when a talk show wants us all to get together for their sake, it's not interesting to me.
‐‐ Eve Plumb
I never wanted to do Shakespeare; I never liked watching it, it's always frightened me, and I've never been any good at it. But I really wanted to work with the director Tim Carroll and Mark Rylance.
‐‐ Samuel Barnett
I never wanted to do something grotesque. I never wanted to shock. I wanted my audience to be happy, to be kind.
‐‐ Eva Zeisel
I never wanted to do 'The Hobbit' in the first place.
‐‐ Peter Jackson
I never wanted to do the same kind of movies over and over anyway, so my theory on it all is I'm just gonna try and dodge the label and keep doing what I am doing.
‐‐ Matt Damon
I never wanted to do TV. I just did what I was trained to do through the Special Forces, and I've been doing that from a very young age.
‐‐ Bear Grylls
I never wanted to end up in entertainment; that wasn't the goal.
‐‐ Lauren Conrad
I never wanted to feel I hadn't worked hard enough.
‐‐ Kristi Yamaguchi
I never wanted to get paid by the hour. If I was going to do more work than another guy, I wanted to get paid more.
‐‐ Jason Blum
I never wanted to go back and relive the glory days; I just want to keep moving forward. That's what I took from punk. Keep going. Don't look back.

I never wanted to go longer than five years off the stage. Not necessarily musicals, but just doing a play or something.
‐‐ Hugh Jackman
I never wanted to go on stage alone because if you mess up, who can you blame?
‐‐ Patti LaBelle
I never wanted to go to college in the state of Washington because I was so embarrassed and ashamed of my family life. I wanted to run. That's what always what I do, I run. I run as far away as I can.
‐‐ Hope Solo
I never wanted to go to the Old Vic and not have it survive long after I was gone. It's not about me; it's about that theater. And the more that it's able to grow and do everything it should do without me, then I've done my job.
‐‐ Kevin Spacey
I never wanted to go to university: books seemed to have all the answers, and the questions, too. I went to work for Jean Muir as her in-house model. Miss Muir - as she will always be to me - was interested in everything.
‐‐ Joanna Lumley
