Quote

I never dreamed about being a millionaire - I dreamed about being a football player.

I never, ever would have imagined the kind of career I've had. It just wouldn't have occurred to me that anything like this could have been possible. I didn't have any such aspirations. And I still can't believe my good fortune.

I've never been good at making smart career decisions or doing the right strategic thing, and yet somehow it's all led me to exactly the kind of career that I would have dreamed of having - if only I'd been smart enough to dream something like that.

I had a dream, when I was little, to become a police officer and a crime investigator.

I had never dreamt I'd become an actress. It was destiny that put me in the right place at the right time and gave me the right opportunities.

The first dream I had was just to get a college education. I got through college in three years, taking extra classes in summer school.

When I was growing up, I dreamed about becoming a cowgirl, a detective, a spy, a great actress, or a ballerina. Not a dentist, like my father, or a homemaker, like my mother - and certainly not a writer, although I always loved to read.

I never had the chance to consider what or how I wanted to be.

I wanted to acquire an education, work extremely hard and never deviate from my goal, to make it.
