‐‐ Liane Balaban
I want to be an actor, I am just not very comfortable talking about myself.

I want to be an entrepreneur too; I like the business side of things. When I was younger I wanted to be a vet or a tightrope walker. But I have no sense of balance and I can't bear animals dying, so I abandoned both ideas.
‐‐ Georgia Jagger
I want to be an example of a guy who made something of himself out of nothing. A guy who overcame the odds of a tough childhood, who worked hard, who didn't let his surroundings get the best of him and lead him to jail or the graveyard. Where I ended up - being a comedian, a TV star, and a movie actor - might be unique, but my story is not.

I want to be an old lady, with my cane, shouting, 'Action!' and 'Cut!'

‐‐ Jim Cole
I want to be as pretty as Robert Pattinson.
‐‐ Megan Fox
I want to be back every year. If I don't go, I want it to be because someone else just was having a great season. I want it to at least be a close call.

I want to be challenged, I want to work, and I want to feel that I am not being held back, that there is something in front of me, something more inspiring than... just eating breakfast, you know?
‐‐ Sofia Vassilieva
I want to be clear here: It does not matter what you say in your will or trust; the beneficiary document attached to your IRA accounts and your life insurance policy overrides what you say elsewhere. If you want to change the beneficiary, you must change the beneficiary document.
‐‐ Suze Orman

‐‐ Alberto Gonzales
