Shaun Ryder

When I left Maine, I always wanted to be a working actor. I never cared too much about being the star. I just wanted to do the work and get on with it.

Patrick Dempsey

I never cared about money. When I was at school, I never wanted a car. I was focused on sports, studies, camping, being outdoors.

Henry Paulson

I remember 'Virginia Plain' being on Top of the Pops, and everyone was talking about it the next day. Eno was bald on top with shoulder-length hair at the sides, and he was wearing a feather boa and a silver catsuit.

Vic Reeves

I never thought about being the highest paid. I just wanted to be someone that people cared about watching, and I feel I'm a good actor.

Jan-Michael Vincent

I also wanted my basketball players to know that I really cared about them. Forget basketball; as a person, I cared, I cared about their family.

John Wooden

The Musicians Union declared you couldn't mime on Top Of The Pops, which is obviously impossible, if you've got a studio-based record that you'd worked on for a year or something. And there were a lot of terrible performances. Because on Top Of The Pops, you were just thrown onstage.

David Toop

Maybe it's the way that I do music, but I was never in a cool indie band or hung out with all the cool arty kids when I came to London.

Paolo Nutini

My grandmother knew nothing about sports. She still didn't even when I went to the NBA. She never really cared too much about sports. She only cared about me being a good person.

Baron Davis

The ultimate revenge is being on Top Of The Pops.

Siobhan Fahey

I was insecure and ashamed. Unless you're gay, being gay has never been looked at as being cool. And I wanted to be cool.

Gus Kenworthy

I'm just not a big fan of the too-cool-for-school indie world. Metal bands have never been invited or been able to be part of the cool kids, and I like it that way.

Scott Ian

Many people resented my impatience and honesty, but I never cared about acceptance as much as I cared about respect.

Jackie Robinson

When I was a kid and wanted to grow up to be a writer, I assumed I would be writing about animals and children because that's what I cared about and read about. But I never did.

Sigrid Nunez

I remember thinking Democrats and liberals were the good guys. They cared about the little guy. They cared about poor people. They cared about minorities.

Dave Rubin

I think I was lucky to be a little older when I became famous. But still, the shock of the world starting to treat you in a weird way... I had come from the army, where we had to deal with life or death, and suddenly, people were asking whether you were cool or not. I have never cared about whether I'm cool.
