I have always wanted a bunny and I'll always have a rabbit the rest of my life.

Dad bought me a toy drum one Christmas and I eventually destroyed it. I wanted a real drum and he bought me a snare drum. Dad continued to buy me one drum after the other.

During the holidays everyone needs a break from studying for exams and Christmas shopping. I wanted to put together a diverse tour that rocks in many musical directions but always points to Christ.

My favorite toy growing up was Polly Pocket. But one gift that I wanted though never received for Christmas was a pair of trampoline moon shoes. You strap them to your feet and they have springs on them and you can just jump around!

The best Christmas present I got from my husband was a week to do whatever I wanted.

My mother would give my brothers and me a pile of catalogues and let us pick what we wanted for Christmas.

For a long time all I wanted for Christmas were books about outdoor survival. I was convinced that the woods were calling me. I camped a lot I took classes. At 18 I told myself if I don't live in the woods by myself by the time I'm 25 I have failed.

If you pray enough for things I am proof that they can happen. I feel like a kid on Christmas day now every day. It's something I have wanted for a long time and I am as happy as anyone to be here. It is great to be back at my first love.

When I was 12 all I wanted for Christmas was a trampoline or a four-wheeler. I ended up getting both presents for Christmas.

I wanted an electric train for Christmas but I got the saxophone instead.

I once wanted to become an atheist but I gave up - they have no holidays.

I suppose for me as an artist it wasn't always just about expressing my work I really wanted more than anything else to contribute in some way to the culture that I was living in. It just seemed like a challenge to move it a little bit towards the way I thought it might be interesting to go.

I've always wanted to work with Warren Beatty.

I was a senior in high school when I decided I wanted to work on ants as a career. I just fell in love with them and have never regretted it.

I wanted to be a doctor that I might be able to work without having to talk because for years I had been giving myself out in words.

Let us touch the dying the poor the lonely and the unwanted according to the graces we have received and let us not be ashamed or slow to do the humble work.

I did go to Wellesley a women's college. And I am of a kind of strange generation which is transitional in terms of women who wanted to go out and get jobs.

I've never wanted to look like models on the cover of magazines. I represent the majority of women and I'm very proud of that.

Some of us are becoming the men we wanted to marry.

When I wrote Living in the Light I wanted to share about how I live my own life and to encourage people to tap into their own inner wisdom.

I saw a photograph of a wedding conducted by Reverend Moon of the Unification Church. I wanted to understand this event and the only way to understand it was to write about it.

I wanted to define the vocabulary of a wedding both visually and intellectually. The book is about more than weddings or wedding dresses. It's a metaphor for women's lives their creativity.

My father always wanted to be the corpse at every funeral the bride at every wedding and the baby at every christening.

I don't feel the need to direct. I tried to get other people to direct Dances but they wouldn't do it. They all thought it was too long. One director wanted to cut the Civil War sequence. Another thought the white woman was very cliched.
