I grew up trying to play for the Toronto Maple Leafs, not Team Canada. Didn't even know it existed.
I always wanted to be a 'Blue Peter' presenter when I grew up!
You grow up listening to Eminem; your parents don't let you listen to it - you gotta sneak into a car to listen to this guy rap. He changed my whole life, my whole perspective on music, so to more or less co-sign something that I've done is the ultimate childhood goal.
Since I was a boy of five or six, I had it in my mind I would be a world boxing champion.
Actually, I wanted to be an actor when I was two years old.

I've always wanted to be a top footballer since I was young.
As early as I can remember, I wanted to be a snowplow driver. When you grow up in the Rocky Mountains, like I did, you see the snow drifts piled up six feet high, and you're two feet, so it's impressive.
Getting to the Olympics was, has always been, my swimming dream since I was 8 or 9 years old. You know, right after I started swimming it was, 'I want to make an Olympic team. That's where I want to be.'
In my very first interview, at nine years old, I said I wanted to be an Olympic gold medalist. That was the first time I said it out loud in front of somebody other than my parents.
I lived a dream. Any kid who starts playing can't help but to dream to play at a club like Arsenal.
Actually, I was more or less determined to be a theoretical physicist at the age of thirteen.
Who am I just to give up on track? This is something I've dreamed about since I was 9 years old, being an Olympic champion.
I don't remember as a kid wanting to do or be anything else but drive something, be a race driver.
I always wanted to become a cricketer.
I always knew I wanted to be in the NBA and play myself in a video game. That was my goal when I was a kid.
As a kid I always wanted to be a centre-forward. I wanted the buzz and thrill of scoring goals from an early age.
As a kid who illegally streamed 'The Daily Show' it has always been a goal of mine.
From age 7 on, I wanted to be a writer.
It's impossible to imagine doing anything else because I always had in my head that I would be a footballer.
It's every little girl's dream to go onto the World Cup.
