I'd wanted to be an actress my whole life, that was my goal, that was all I cared about.

I wanted to be an actress. I think it had a lot to do with being a kid and watching how every time my dad would stand up to talk people would applaud... that was pretty cool.

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 always wanted to be an actress. I couldn't imagine being anything else.

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.

In my early years, there were a number of experiences that made me decide I could not afford the luxury of just being an actress. There were a number of issues I wanted to address. And I wanted to use my career as a platform.

I didn't want to be famous. I just wanted to earn enough money to have a nice life and enjoy acting.

When I wanted to be an actress, I never wanted really to be the kind of actress I became.

Even when I was young I wanted to be an actress.

Besides me wanting to be an artist, I wanted to be a movie star.
