I don't have goals in life.
~By Olivier Martinez ~
My parents are both very funny but they're also relatively soft-spoken, normal human beings while I'm just a lunatic. I don't know where this loud, ballsy, hammy ridiculousness came from.

~By Emma Stone ~

The first thing you have to do is take everything with a grain of salt. You know, you've gotta just look at the goal, focus on what you gotta do and take one step at a time as a whole, as every performance being that's it, that's one objective, and let's just move forward and work on that.
~By Stefano Langone ~

~By John H. Johnson ~
Scoring two goals at against Wembley against a Dutch team that was supposed to rip us apart and ripping them apart - it doesn't get any better than that.
~By Teddy Sheringham ~
Unification is not our present goal. That is a future program.
~By Kim Dae Jung ~

~By Jon Fishman ~
The goal of all inanimate objects is to resist man and ultimately defeat him.

~By Breyten Breytenbach ~

~By Gerhard Schroder ~
My number one goal was not getting 'A's' - and I proved it. I was a 'C' student. You have to be ready to learn. If you're not interesting in learning, it doesn't work. As I grew older and wanted to learn and desperately wanted inside information, learning was a lot easier.
~By Brian Lamb ~
My training has been going really well these past few days and my goal is to keep it up for the next few weeks and hopefully earn a spot on the U.S. Olympic team.

~By Max Eastman ~

~By Richard Dreyfuss ~

~By Luke Wilson ~
That's really my goal now. I'm trying to be a positive role model to my kids and to just enjoy this ride, because it's hard. It's hard to enjoy it when you're in it.

~By Nick Rahall ~
I have so many goals.
~By Tyra Banks ~

One of the principal goals in my life has been to avoid embarrassing my children by doing the job I do. I hope I've managed to do that, and I hope that, with the job I'm in now, they are, if not proud, at least unembarrassed by it. I must say, my three are most agreeable children, who do nothing but delight me.
~By Hugh Laurie ~
