I had no desire to crash a man's world.

I certainly had no intention of playing a man.

This searching and doubting and vacillating where nothing is clear but the arrogance of quest. I, too, had such noble ideas when I was still a boy.

I didn't want to be anyone else.

I want a man in my life, not in my house.

I'm motivated to be No. 1.

The Creator has not given you a longing to do that which you have no ability to do.

There was a combination of not wanting to look a gift horse in the mouth, but also really not wanting to be stuck in Lord of the Rings for the rest of my life, and being desperate to kind of make sure that I could do something else with my life.
