I had no ambition to make a fortune. Mere money-making has never been my goal, I had an ambition to build.
I never thought I would become an actress. I always wanted to get into politics, and I moved to Argentina and worked for the U.S. embassy for a bit. It sort of happened upon me when I was home for the holiday - acting, that is - and I stuck with it.
Our ambition should be to rule ourselves, the true kingdom for each one of us; and true progress is to know more, and be more, and to do more. - Oscar Wilde
I've always been an ambitious person, and I've always been obsessed with creating things. - Eric Barone

When I was a boy, I always saw myself as a hero in comic books and in movies. I grew up believing this dream. - Elvis Presley
I would love to do anything from a really gritty, interesting, indie type film, to that commercial, bigger stuff.
I'm an actress, a writer, the editor-in-chief of my lifestyle brand 'The Tig', a pretty good cook, and a firm believer in handwritten notes.
The best job a man could have would be a chef. They'd understand the long hours I work and the drive and ambition it takes to succeed.
While most become star struck by A-list actors, you'll only see me in awe of leaders effecting change. Politician and diplomat Madeleine Albright, U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon. These are my heroes. These are my celebrities.
I'm not ambitious. I don't want to get anywhere, I don't want anything more. I sometimes think that for me that is the real freedom, that I don't want anything. I don't want money or prizes. I want people to know that a war is going to be fought.
We now know most things that can be measured in this world, except the bounds of human ambition! - Jules Verne

I was definitely different from the other kids... I was more ambitious. I knew what I liked and what I wanted, and I worked really hard. I was a very serious kid. - Natalie Portman
I don't want to be an action star, an action star's life is so short. I want my life to get longer, I want my career to get longer. - Jackie Chan
I just want people to remember me like I remember Buster Keaton. When they talk about Buster Keaton or Gene Kelly, people say, 'Ah yes, they good.' Maybe one day, they remember Jackie Chan that way. - Jackie Chan
