As a little boy, I wanted to be a policeman. And then as I got older, and I saw my dad in the car business, an automobile executive.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I wanted to be a police officer for a long time so I could be just like my dad!
Since I was 14, I wanted to make music, but I think I would also have made a good policeman. When I was eight, I wanted to be one so I could tell people off.
I actually wanted to be a police officer like my dad for the longest time, up until my sophomore year in high school when I started doing plays. I did plays when I was little, but in high school, I started getting into acting.
My dad was a cop. My mom worked at various jobs - she worked as a homemaker, a bank teller, a bartender.
Starting my career as a kid, I was doing what jobs I got.
I wanted to be a forest ranger or a coal man. At a very early age, I knew I didn't want to do what my dad did, which was work in an office.
I wanted to be a race car driver when I was a kid.
I wanted to be a leading man - the black lawyer, the black doctor, the black policeman.
I wanted to be a bus driver when I was a kid. I look at bus driving through the eyes of a little boy. I see it as glamorous.
When I was very young I wanted to be a professional horseback rider. Then I wanted to be a pop singer. Then I wanted to be a psychiatrist. Then I wanted to be a movie director.
