A Quote by Joey Lauren Adams

I was never one of those people who thought, 'What I really want to do is direct.' It never occurred to me. — © Joey Lauren Adams
I was never one of those people who thought, 'What I really want to do is direct.' It never occurred to me.
I definitely thought the first book was going to be a one-off. I never thought I'd even write a book, not ever having aspired to be a writer. It's something that never occurred to me - a bit like it never occurred to me to play guitar when I was young. I just thought it was out of my league.
I never really liked my short hair; it never occurred to me that people would want it.
My wife loves to tell me that I love to tell people, 'Oh, I never thought WWE would sign me. I never thought I'd be on TV. I never thought I'd be a champion. I never thought any of those things were remotely possible.'
I'll tell you something, Harpy," he said, his voice almost a whisper now. "It never even occurred to me that we wouldn't make it. And it never occurred to you that we would. You were just waiting for us to go down in flames. I thought we could get through anything.
I never thought for a second that anything I ever did was going to make someone cringe. That never occurred to me.
I never had the desire to get in front of the camera. It never occurred to me! I always thought I'd be a theater actor.
It never occurred to me that anyone would name a nuclear missile "Peacekeeper". It never occurred to me that thousands of people would be killed in the name of "peace-keeping".
I've never been a puppeteer, I conceive and I write and I design and I direct. And not just puppets. I direct actors, I direct dancers, I direct singers, I direct films. I also direct puppeteers. I'm really a theatre maker, but there's not a word for that.
I could never have thought, "I wanna play a two-headed woman." That just never would have occurred to me, in a million years.
I never thought of myself as a strong person until I wrote my first book, and people started to say, 'You're a survivor. You're such a strong person.' It never ever occurred to me.
I'm not saying it never occurred to me to want to write a masterpiece, but I really doubt I could.
No, I never thought that I would be a writer. I had always been told I could write well, but it never occurred to me that I might make my living that way.
And I never thought about how the lights don't go out, so you never really rest, in that way. I never really thought about the intensity of being watched, all the time. Those are some things that I didn't know about prison.
I started in theater; I did theater in New York for 14 years before I even thought about doing movies - I never thought about being in a film; it just never occurred to me.
I had to work and it never occurred to me not to. But then it's never really been about the money.
It had never once occurred to me that the paper I wanted to work for would not want me. Certainly I never expected to be rejected solely because I was a girl!
