I wanted the focus to be on my ability as a singer and as an entertainer - not on my private life.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I wanted to be famous; I wanted to perform. Those things I really, really wanted more than anything else.
I wanted to be a professional singer/actress, though I knew it would be hard.
My sole focus as far back as I can remember was all about my dream to become a singer.
I wanted to get my recording and become a musician again, work; with other people, do that kind of thing because I kind of got away from that for a while once we started happening, you know, selling records, sold out concerts.
I only wanted to be a songwriter. I never wanted to be a singer. And I never wanted to be famous.
I've wanted to perform my entire life. I found a paper I wrote in kindergarten class about what I wanted to be when I grew up - and I wrote 'a famous singer!'
Growing up, I always wanted to be a singer, and I've done that.
I didn't know whether I wanted to be an actress or a singer then.
There were times in my career I went a little further than I wanted because of expectations. Doing certain things onstage when children were in the audience, wearing certain clothes, singing certain lyrics.
The first thing I wanted to be was an actor, even before I wanted to be a singer, before I discovered I could sing.
