“One night I was standing on Third Avenue playing my guitar, when this big Irish policeman came strolling by, and stopped to listen to my singing and playing. When I was done, he politely handed me a ticket for disturbing the peace, while at the same time telling me how much he liked my voice. I wish I still had that ticket.” StillsDoneBigsNightWishVoiceSingingStandingThirdsGuitarTicketsDisturbingAvenuesOne NightPolicemenStrolling Author:Frank Stallone

“Entertainers are nothing special. Maybe we have a talent for singing a song, but other people have talents. I wish fans would just come up and say 'hello' before asking for an autograph. I wish they would just say, 'Hello, I'm so and so, and I just want to shake your hand.' I'm impressed when I find people like that. Most people just say, 'Sign here,' and treat you like a statue.” PeopleWantHandsSongWishFansSpecialTalentSingingTreatsAskingCome UpShakesImpressedHelloStatuesEntertainersAutographs Author:Eddy Arnold

“I guess I could be singing about Superman, or about Zarathustra coming down from the mountain, but in my mind I was singing about Julian Assange. I wish I could say that Nietzsche inspired my lyrics but all I can honestly say is I was inspired by the graphic design of these '70s paperback covers for Beyond Good & Evil and The Birth of Tragedy and The Gay Science.” MindI CanEvilWishDesignBirthGayMountainSingingTragedyInspiredHonestlyGraphicGraphic DesignGood EvilZarathustraAssange Author:Dean Wareham

“When I was in the hospital getting my sex change, I was just wishing I could be a pretty girl working in a mall. If I could have a crystal ball and see what I look like now - you know, modeling, David LaChapelle, hanging out with Daphne Guinness, singing with Lil' Kim, and traveling all over the world, I'd be like, "Wow, I can't believe this."” WorldBelieveGirlWishSingingHanging OutModelingPretty GirlCrystal Ball Author:Amanda Lepore

“I always felt that I was born in the wrong era. I wanted to be friends with John Garfield, for instance. He was one of the only actors that refused to testify in front of the House Un-American Activities Committee back when the Hollywood Ten blacklist was happening in the McCarthy period. I wish I could've been friends with Charlie Parker and played with him. That's my period. I feel real close to the '40s - and actually I was born in '37, so I was a kid singing on the radio in the '40s. But I always dreamed of going to big cities.” RealKidsHouseWishSingingGarfield Author:Charlie Haden

“She suffers as a miser. She must be miserly with her pleasures, as well. I wonder if sometimes she doesn't wish she were free of this monotonous sorrow, of these mutterings which start as soon as she stops singing, if she doesn't wish to suffer once and for all, to drown herself in despair. In any case, it would be impossible for her: she is bound.” IfsWellsSometimesWould BeSufferingWishPleasureWonderCasesImpossibleSorrowDespairSingingBoundsMonotonousMisersMuttering Book:Nausea Source: Nausea
