I was fanatically ambitious. All I ever wanted was to be a star. I didn't want to be a singer. I didn't want to be an actress. I wanted to be a star.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I wanted to be an actor because I wanted to be onstage. I wanted to do musical theater, and from that I realized I was interested in plays. I never imagined myself on television. I was so lucky to be onstage my whole life.
When I was young, all I wanted to be was a movie star. At a certain point, I started to grow up and really care about what I did.
I wanted to be famous; I wanted to perform. Those things I really, really wanted more than anything else.
I wanted to be successful, not famous.
I wanted to be an actress. In college I was a serious feminist and very political. I was determined to get one thing out of my career and that was respect. I didn't want money. I didn't care about fame.
The first thing I wanted to be was an actor, even before I wanted to be a singer, before I discovered I could sing.
I never wanted to be a celebrity; I never wanted to be famous. And in my daily life, I work really hard to not trade on it in any way.
My goal was just to work regularly. I didn't ever expect to be rich or famous. I wanted to be a working character actor.
I had no desire to be a star. I wanted to be a character actress and be able to do all kinds of parts and work on a lot of things. That was my unconscious choice. I wanted to be an undercover actress.
I wanted to be a professional singer/actress, though I knew it would be hard.
