Text Quotes
I wasn’t interested in going to the school dances. I wasn’t interested in going to the football games. What I wanted was to be in my room painting my walls and doing weird stuff. That’s what I wanted and I got to do what I wanted, so that, to me, is my high school experience  (What I Want Quotes) What people tell me they take away from my books is that they can shape their lives, they can achieve their own dreams. And certainly that’s what I want them to take away  (What I Want Quotes) I knew what I wanted to do for my entire life, from nursery to university. I’ve always been geared towards wanting to act. I’ve stuck with it, dedicated time to it  (What I Want Quotes) I know what I like and what I want, and I can sit and enjoy every 10 minutes that go by. And truly enjoy it  (What I Want Quotes) I was finding it very difficult to find a label that understood what I wanted to do and really believed that people wanted to hear something honest and a little bit different. So, I did feel a bit like a clown. You’re knocking on everyone’s door trying to get them to believe what you’re doing  (What I Want Quotes) It took a long time to get to the place in my career where I could pick and choose what I wanted to do  (What I Want Quotes) I know what I want, I want things for myself, but I think the key to life is somebody to love, something to do and something to look forward to. I don’t think it’s complicated  (What I Want Quotes) Throughout school I appeared in all sorts of productions and deep in my heart of hearts I knew that was what I want to do more than anything else  (What I Want Quotes) Well, I jumped for the first time when I was 16. I just loved it and immediately realized that it was what I wanted to do  (What I Want Quotes) This is what I want: I want to grab my brother’s hand and run back through time, losing years like coats falling from our shoulders  (What I Want Quotes) I have never been insecure, ever, about how I look, about what I want to do with myself. My mum told me to only ever do things for myself, not for others  (What I Want Quotes) If I were to make a list, I would include the interceptions, the sacks, the really painful losses. Those times when I’ve been down, when I’ve been kicked around, I hold on to those. In a way those are the best times I’ve ever had, because that’s when I’ve found out who I am. And what I want to be  (What I Want Quotes) Sometimes you make a record that is what you want to hear. I’ve made a couple of those, idealized creations of what I wanted to hear. Then there are records that are what you feel  (What I Want Quotes) The world’s not what I want it to be. But then no one ever said I had the right to design the world  (What I Want Quotes) How long were the stretches of toilsome tacking back and forth, of being blocked, of being thrown back again and again. But all that was annulled by the periods when I had my technique in hand and succeeded in doing what I wanted  (What I Want Quotes) I think my greatest insecurity would just be standing in the middle of the room and having everyone watching me thinking that’s what I want. If I am interesting to you because of who I am, then that’s incredible. But if I’m interesting to you only because of what I am, then let’s not bother, you know?  (What I Want Quotes) Do I really believe that? I make a mark, a few strokes, I argue with myself, not do I like or not, but is it true or not? Is that what I mean, is that what I want?  (What I Want Quotes) All I’m being offered now are parts that are authority figures. I’ve done that. And that’s not what I want. I want something different  (What I Want Quotes) I keep plastering it until it comes around to what I want, in terms of all I know and think about painting now, as well as in terms of the initial observation  (What I Want Quotes) The music comes first, like, 99 percent of the time. I come up with the basic chord structure and the melody first and then I get really obsessed with arranging, adding, and subtracting parts. The last step of the process, for me, is finding words that fit into that structure and figuring out exactly what I want to talk about  (What I Want Quotes) I really do know what I want with my life. I think that keeps me from making bad decisions and spending time doing stuff I don’t enjoy  (What I Want Quotes) I always appreciate people’s opinions, but sometimes I have to take a step back and remember why I’m writing and what I want to do with it. Shutting out the voices is difficult but it’s been good for me  (What I Want Quotes) If I wanted to be free, truly free, I had to choose. There were many points on the compass rose; I had to locate the few that were meant for me. Not any destination picked at random; I had to head for those that summoned me with a passion, for they were the ones that gave meaning to my life. I had to ignore the warnings of those who would tell me why I couldn’t do what I wanted to do  (What I Want Quotes) My dad’s cool with that kind of stuff. He always wanted me to do my best.

My parents never really lecture me  (What I Want Quotes) This is what I wanted to do from the very beginning: write songs and make records and tour them with a good live band  (What I Want Quotes) It was important that I learn that what I wanted was no different from what other artists wanted: confidence that I could be my own censor, audience, and competition  (What I Want Quotes) I don’t consider myself bossy, but I do know what I want. You know, I have a gut feeling about a piece of material, but I’ve never envisioned myself as the director on top of the hill with a megaphone in my hand, screaming at 1,000 extras  (What I Want Quotes) When I was a teenager I decided I was going to be a writer and that nothing was going to stop me. It sounds almost villainous. But I knew that was what I wanted  (What I Want Quotes) I lived where I could and studied what I enjoyed studying. I took what I wanted from that education but was making my first record at the same time  (What I Want Quotes) I’ve always had good support of parents for doing what I wanted to do. When it became music they were just as supportive as well  (What I Want Quotes)
