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.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
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.
I started making music professionally when I was 14.
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.
At eight, I made a commitment to poetry. Until then, I thought I'd be a policeman. But I went a whole night without sleeping, and the next day the world had changed. It needed a different language.
I wanted to be a police officer for a long time so I could be just like my dad!
I think when I was about 6 or 7, I would have said I wanted to be an actor and an artist.
When I was a kid, I wanted to be a spy detective or a rock star.
I played the guitar. When I was 14, I composed songs - Paul McCartney-style things. I had a rock band - we'd compete in festivals.
Whenever people used to ask me what I wanted to be when I was older, I would always say that I wanted to be a singer. When I was 12, I decided I would do something about it, so I started writing songs.
I've always known from the time I was eight years old what I wanted to do. I would have been fairly content to be someone's lead guitar player.
