Volodymyr Zelensky Quotes

Ultimately, I'd love to be able to work in film.

My father was so in love with showbiz, all the different aspects - what we're doing here, making the movies, everything about it.

I think you have to really, really want to be a film star.

I quit doing the movies because the wrestling was going so good and was so on fire during the '80s and '90s, but I was getting all these movie scripts.

I guess winning an Oscar is the ultimate dream. A lot of amazing actors go their whole career without even being nominated. So that would definitely be a goal to reach. It's a difficult one, but I'm aiming for it!

When I started in the mid-'90s, the goal was really to shoot for a film career and stay there.

I always wanted to be an actress. I always wanted to be a movie star.

You know, when you're an actor, you want to go to Hollywood. When you're a musician, you want to go to Nashville.

Later on they send me to Hollywood. To make movies. It was all new to me. I was only 21 years old.

I never thought about the actors on television or film, like what kind of life they had.

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

I'm vain enough to want do a movie again, but right now more roles are the last thing on my list.

It's so odd because I don't even know if I'm cut out for it, but being a movie star guy, I sort of end up gravitating toward the Coen brothers. That's one of the reasons my wife and I moved to L.A.: that however much of a pipe dream that would be, I moved to L.A. because I'd love to work with the Coen brothers.

I'm not trying to conquer Hollywood. I love my day job.

I really admire actresses like Meryl Streep; I would love to have a career like hers.

Hollywood has never been a goal, necessarily - there was no 'Conquer America' game plan for me.

I have friends who are movie stars, and I think it's just as hard a job as being a working actor. But it's a different job, and it's not the one I want.

I want to have more original-screenplay Oscars than anybody who's ever lived! So much, I want to have so many that - four is enough. And do it within ten films, all right, so that when I die, they rename the original-screenplay Oscar 'the Quentin.' And everybody's down with that.

All I ever wanted was a successful career as an actress.

I feel my advantage of coming from a film family is - having seen fame up close, having seen the industry so close and how it works, I was not enamored by fame.

I think it'd be cool to be in film and television, but I never thought that would happen.

Maybe I will end up in the movies.

This may sound strange, but I did not join the film industry to be a star and be successful.

I think my dream career would be to own my own production company and be able to write movies and star in them every once in awhile. Kind of like a Judd Apatow type of guy. That would be really fun.

I'm not a big Hollywood guy. I don't know how the machine works. I leave that to people better than myself.
