American - Writer
Born: 1968

I discovered very early on that if you wanted a thing, you went for it - and you got it. Most people never go anywhere, or want anything - so they never get anything.

Ray Bradbury

We had all these famous writers in Sweden and from all over the world home at dinner. I wanted to be a writer, and I wanted to be a highbrow writer as my father. He never, ever read anything like crime novels. He wrote biographies of Dante, James Joyce, August Strindberg and Joseph Conrad.

David Lagercrantz

It is the little writer rather than the great writer who seems never to quote, and the reason is that he is never really doing anything else.

Havelock Ellis

I never wanted to be a celebrity writer. I wanted to be a good writer. I'm still trying to be a good writer. That's what gets me out of bed in the morning.

Thomas McGuane

I had no thought of being a writer. I never wanted to do anything. I'm tremendously lazy.

Deborah Eisenberg

When you're an actor working in the theater, you would never say anything to the writer, never alter the dialogue, never dream to ask for changes.

Jill Hennessy

I never have anything go wrong. Never have a backache. Never have a headache. Never have anything else.

David H. Murdock

I had that laser focus, identified what I wanted when I was a kid, and never let anything get in my way. If you look on paper at who I am and what I sound like, and what I look like, you wouldn't say, 'Go into broadcasting.' It's just what I wanted to do - I knew that I could do it, and I never let anyone tell me that I couldn't.

Ross Mathews

When I was about 14 or 15 I decided to become a writer and never for a moment since have I wanted to do anything else.

Tobias Wolff

I never wanted to do anything else but fight, when I was a kid. I never had any broader perspective of my own perspective. I didn't know anything about anything else. I just wanted to fight until I could fight no more, and then I wanted to own a bar and drink and tell war stories.

Mike Tyson

I never wanted to be part of any scene, I never wanted to be a part of anything, I wanted to do my own thing. Those are the lessons I learned from punk rock.

Buzz Osborne

I never wanted to change the world. Norman Mailer wanted to, he set himself the task of changing the consciousness of our age. And I think he came pretty close, in the 1960s, to actually managing to do it. But me? No, no, I never wanted anything like that. I'm not Maileresque.

Don DeLillo

I've never wanted to be a star, I never wanted to be a famous person or anything like that, and I think my fans know that as well.

Ellie Goulding

I've never wanted to be a fireman, in my life. I've never really wanted to grow up and be anything other than a film director.

David Gordon Green

I never wanted to be a star, I never wanted to travel far / I only wanted a little bit of love so I could put a little love in my heart / I never wanted to be la-de-da, go to parties ‘avec le bourgeois’ / I only wanted to sing my song well so I could ring a small bell in your heart

Cat Stevens

I've never been a fearful person. When I was growing up, I wanted to be an actress, a writer, and a musician and I never really processed that those are the three hardest jobs - I just never even processed it.

Krysten Ritter
