I don't really care to be a movie star.
I'm not in a real rush to be a big star.
Success is the brand on the brow of the man who aimed too low.
I'm not an overly ambitious person; I don't feel like I have to excel.
What career? A man's got a body of film of about four movies in about 10 years or something. I do it because I think I can do a good job of something and I'll enjoy it, do it, and sort of vanish. I don't want to be an actor for hire.
It's not like I think: 'By the age of 40 I've got to be an international household name.' When the opportunity to perform comes up, then I'll take it. It's really good fun. But because I don't crave the attention or the buzz, it's not like I'm desperate for it.
I don't have huge intentions to be some big actress.
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 want to be a director, or to have responsibility for hundreds of people.
I never was good at learning things. I did just enough work to pass. In my opinion it would have been wrong to do more than was just sufficient, so I worked as little as possible.
Honestly, man, I'm not somebody who wants the celebrity. I could really care less about that stuff. I know everyone says it, but I get overwhelmed by it all sometimes.
The reason why so little is done, is generally because so little is attempted.
I've never been particularly ambitious. I'm driven by the moment.
For too many years, we, as a country, have suffered from a poverty of aspiration.
I don't think I'll ever be president of anything.
I have never been terribly ambitious.
I was just school class clown and that was it. Someday I'll get a job as a cab driver or whatever.
I've never hankered for any role.
When I set up UTV, my ambitions were quite low.
I was never ambitious to be a good actor. I just love doing it and I seem to be quite suited for it.
It just doesn't mean anything to me, the high-profile, big money side of things. I just want enough to live on, and to be able to get on with what I do, and hang around my friends.
I simply don't want to enter the rat race. I like doing movies because I like acting and not because I want to reach the top.
When I settled to writing seriously, which would be in my 30s, I did expect to be published eventually, but my aspirations weren't very high. A published book and a few appreciative readers was my idea of heaven.
I am not a very ambitious person.
I don't want to create a revolution - I just want to create a few more films.
