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

I had dreams of becoming an officer and a gentleman. But hey: One out of two ain't bad.

I wanted to be a police officer for a long time so I could be just like my dad!

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.

Then, much later, my next dream was to become an astronaut, and I was fortunate to realize that dream, also.

My professional dreams were coming true while I was living a personal nightmare.

I had this dream to become a writer since I was a teenager.

I had this dream, and I really wanted to be a star. And I was almost a monster in the way that I was really fearless with my ambitions.

My first dream as a child was to become a pilot. My second dream was to become an astronomer, and I pursued in parallel efforts and studies in these two areas.

When I grew up, I only had two dreams. One was to be a cowboy and another was to be in the military. I grew up extremely patriotic and riding horses.
