I am a small man who wants to do big things for small people.
I'm really grateful. But I never had the rock star dream. I thought it would be cool to be a modern-day composer.
The whole having records and selling records and being on TV, that was something that I didn't ever think would be for me. I thought that would be for other people. All I wanted to do was make a living playing the drums.
I don't want to be put on a pedestal. I just want to be reasonably successful and live a normal life with all the conveniences to make it so.
I was never interested in 'Teen Beat' like roles. I just wanted to work.
I don't think I'm a slacker, but I don't have aspirations to, like, conquer Hollywood. Or the world. Or anything.
I don't know if I can ever change the world, but at least I can change the oil in my car.
I have no ambitions at all! I have none... seriously. I want to be a good father. I want to be a good husband. I want to be a good son, a good brother, a good family member. I don't have any ambition to direct a film or write a play. I like acting.
My Plan A was to be a psychologist. I thought I would be a receptionist. I'm always middle of the road and very normal. I've always wanted a normal life, and this is what I got.
I don't have any high aims or goals, but I hope to continue my journey of multi-tasking as I have been doing so far as an actor, dancer, and also serving people of the nation.
I don't think there is much history can say about me. I just want to be remembered as part of that collective.
I'm not sure I'll ever be famous by anyone's definition. I can only hope to be allowed by the audience to continue my life's work.
No, I am a military man, not a statesman. I would just like to be mayor of Galena long enough to build a sidewalk from my house to the station.
Coming from a small town, I didn't have big dreams. My biggest ambition was to find a job for myself.
I just want to do good work. That's all I want to do. I don't have big aspirations like being the President of the United States, I just want to do good work. That's all.
My goal was to do anything that would lead to a job. I know that writing would not lead to a job. It's too fancy for me. My biggest goal was to be an office receptionist, answer phones. I didn't expect to go beyond that.
It's not part of my ambition to become fabulously rich. My plan was always to make my pictures, and hopefully people would buy them, and then I'd buy a studio, buy a house, help friends out, do bits and bobs - but I've no idea after that.
It has never occurred to me to wish for empire or royalty, nor for the eminence of those high and commanding fortunes. My aim lies not in that direction; I love myself too well.
I know I'm not the 'Indie It Girl' and I'll never have a big breakout, big runaway success. And that's okay.
I never wanted to set the world on fire. So I never had to burn any bridges behind me.
My mom just didn't put a very high premium on me being like really famous or really wealthy or anything.
I am not a person who reaches for the moon as long as I have the stars.
