I've DREAMED of being on the ROAD, traveling and TOURING, for as LONG as I've been into doing MUSIC. It's what I live for. I just wanna be Willie Nelson.

Obviously, when I was PLAYING in the Championship, I ALWAYS DREAMED about playing for England, PUTTING on the jersey.

I've often dreamed about GOING BACK to Nigeria, but that's a very romantic notion. It's a hideous COUNTRY to go to in REALITY.

For me, I feel LIKE I'm slowly accomplishing what I've always wanted to do. I've always DREAMED really big, and my MOM planted that in all THREE of my siblings: 'You guys can do ANYTHING.'

I understood that my family was rich in LOVE but would probably NEVER own the land my father, John, dreamed of owning. My MOTHER, Willie Ella Mays Clarke, was a washerwoman for poor white folks in the area of Columbus, GEORGIA where the writer Carson McCullers once LIVED.

As a precocious TEEN I dreamed of being Graham Greene. WELL, as it turned out, I never WROTE a great novel, sadly, and I never converted to Catholicism, happily, but I did do one THING he did. That is, in middle age I moved to a seaside town and got into a right barney with the local powers-that-be.

I've always dreamed of becoming a mother. I thought I would get married and do it all the traditional WAY, but life kept going on, my CAREER kept me busy - and I had not STOPPED to become a MOMMY.

I'm on my WAY to a PLACE where I'd NEVER DREAMED I'd be, and that's PERFECTION.

We never really dreamed of being a band until it just naturally happened. All of a SUDDEN, we were LIKE, 'Maybe we should take this kind of SERIOUSLY, because PEOPLE SEEM to like it.'

I never in my wildest IMAGINATION DREAMED that I WOULD somehow BECOME a sports commentator.
