I very much wanted to be accepted by my peers, to be considered a serious journalist.

Jessica Savitch

The one thing that shaped my life was when I was 15 or 16: I knew I wanted to be a journalist. And not just a journalist, but a journalist in the Middle East, and to go back to the Arab world and try to understand what it meant to be Lebanese.

Anthony Shadid

I always wanted to be part of the media. I knew I wanted to work as a journalist.

Ana Kasparian

Before acting, I wanted to become a journalist. I also toyed with the idea of being a chef - but that's only when people asked me what I wanted to be. In fact, I always used to say I wanted to be an actor, but I didn't ever believe that I was good enough to be come one.

Ian Mckellen

I dont think I ever wanted to be a journalist - I was more interested in what comes from being a journalist.

Benjamin Booker

I don't think I ever wanted to be a journalist - I was more interested in what comes from being a journalist.

Benjamin Booker

I wanted to be a lawyer. Then a journalist. Actually, I graduated from university as a journalist.

Hugh Jackman

I worked for a brief spell as a journalist, but soon I discovered that I didn't want to be a journalist - I wanted to be a historian.

Robert Darnton

I think we're all actors. There's this friend of mine who's a great drummer, and he said, "I never thought I'd be a drummer, but I got really good at it. I always feel like I'm an actor playing the drums." His real calling was that he was going to be a magician. That's what he felt like he wanted to do. If you decide to act like a journalist, you'll probably be a better journalist than just being a journalist. What you're doing is, you're taking the executive role and stepping outside yourself so that you're able to make more objective decisions.

Matt Dillon

I graduated high school, and I always wanted to go to college, but I also really wanted to work at a young age. At 18, I was pitching talk show ideas to different networks. I was a journalist.

Lily Collins

I never minded being thought of as a pop star. People have always thought I wanted to be seen as a serious musician, but I didn't, I just wanted people to know that I was absolutely serious about pop music.

George Michael

I never really wanted to be a journalist, honestly. I always wanted to be a writer, and I thought the only way to apply that interest was with journalism - when you're young and you want to be a writer, it seems like the most practical thing to do with those types of ambitions.

Michelle Zauner

If you're a journalist - and I think, on some level, I'm a journalist, and proud to be a journalist, or a documentarian, however you want to describe it - part of what I do has to be the pursuit of the truth.

Errol Morris

I always wanted to do things right and represent myself as somebody that took the art serious and someone that took the business serious also, so I had time to weigh the options and figure it out and do my best to create the situation that was ideal.

Nipsey Hussle

I wanted to be a journalist. The other thing I wanted to be was a spy.

Ana Patricia Botin

I joke, but I'm sort of serious: I've always wanted to get into a fight. I know that sounds horrible, but I always had the desire to see what it's like.

Juliana Harkavy
