I never in my wildest dreams could have imagined I would be on TV.
Never in my wildest dreams could I have imagined that I would become the Bachelorette.
So to be standing here, this was really, truly, honestly never part of anything we even imagined in our wildest dreams.
I never imagined in my wildest dreams when I was 17 watching Van Halen at a Donington Park rock festival and seeing Sammy Hagar later on when I was in the United States playing that I would end up with a band of guys I bought albums of.
I had fun playing a mutant. I never thought I would. Like, I never in my wildest dreams thought I would.
My wildest dreams and the goals that I set for myself, I never imagined the success that I've been blessed with, and believe me, I feel blessed.
In my wildest dreams, I could not have imagined a sweeter life.
I have such a good life. It's something I couldn't have imagined in my wildest dreams.
I never thought in my wildest dreams that I would have my very own school - no way. And I had no idea I'd be coaching girls. It's wild.
I had a little radio next to the bed and I'd just listen to the top 10 - I mean, it was crap but I was young - and I would get up in the dark with the moon coming in through the window and I would just dance in my pajamas in the dark to the top 10. I didn't have a CD player... so it was kind of all I had, you know?
Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought I would accomplish what I have in the sport
I thought if I could play 10 years in the league, it would be a great career more than I could ever hope for in my wildest dreams.
I've always done more than I ever thought I would. Becoming a professor - I never would have imagined that. Writing books - I never would have imagined that. Getting a Ph.D. - I'm not sure I would even have imagined that. I've lived my life a step at a time. Things sort of happened.
I learned very early in life that: 'Without a song, the day would never end; without a friend, a man ain't got a friend; without a song, the road would never bend-without a song.' So I keep singing a song.
I never thought in my wildest dreams that I would have turned pro at 17.
I remember my dreams when I was a junior soloist. 'Oh, I hope I don't end here,' I thought. 'I want to do the ballerina in 'Scotch Symphony.' I don't want to be the little Scotch girl.' And I actually went beyond my wildest dreams. I worked with Balanchine. I had ballets choreographed for me.
