Happiness isn't getting what you want it's wanting what you got.

Success is getting what you want. Happiness is wanting what you get.

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.

You can't win with some people. If you're not in government you're criticised for being not serious. If you are in government you're criticised for wanting power. That's the Labour party's line of attack and it's a bit ridiculous.

I have an older sister named Haley and she wanted to be an actress. So I wanted to be an actress. It's really funny the way that some people don't give kids enough credit for like really being driven and really wanting to do things so badly.

Love and esteem are the first principles of friendship it is always imperfect if either of these two are wanting.

I'm completely in love with the world but also terrified of it. It creates some overwhelming feelings. Wanting to battle out that joy and fear is part of my music.

Americans are in a cycle of fear which leads to people not wanting to spend and not wanting to make investments and that leads to more fear. We'll break out of it. It takes time.

I can't imagine wanting to be famous just for the sake of being famous. I think fame should come along with success talent.

The whole 'American Idol' way of looking at things is the antithesis of what I grew up with. There are a whole lot of kids wanting to be famous now whereas if I'd even mentioned that word to one of my teachers I would have got into a whole load of trouble.

None of my actions have ever sort of been motored by the search for a husband or wondering if I was going to have a family someday or wanting to live in a really great house or thinking it would be really great to have a diamond.

Faith: not wanting to know what is true.

Something is wanting and something must be done or we shall be involved in all the horror of failure and civil war without a prospect of its termination.

You're working on being a father so that is something that when you experience it you'll understand the profundity of wanting to protect something dear to you.

While teaching I also worked undercover in the lower courts by saying I was a young law teacher wanting experience in criminal law. The judges were happy to assist me but what I learned was how corrupt the lower courts were. Judges were accepting money right in the courtroom.

If you want to achieve your dreams you must follow them and the best way to follow them is not to think about wanting to be very rich but to think about doing something that you really want to do.

I can't sing but I can understand wanting to keep a balance trying to pursue dreams while creating a stable environment for my children.
