“I'm a very ambitious person. I've been like this from a very young age...” — Sam Smith Quote

I'm a very ambitious person. I've been like this from a very young age. As early as 12 years old, I used to have panic attacks because I needed to know my life plan.

I used to get very angry as I was getting older, because my voice was breaking. So I've trained my voice so religiously through my teenage years, because I wanted to be able to hit the notes that those females hit. And I can, which is great.

Anything's possible. If I turn round tomorrow and say I want to be a spaceman, I could do that. You can do whatever you want to do.

I miss the days when girls would wear full long dresses and just stand onstage and sing. That's what I'm trying to bring back: that timeless element. I want to create music that people will be listening to in fifty years, you know?

Shah Rukh has definitely been my inspiration. He is extremely focused in his work and is extremely ambitious.

I was so lucky. I grew up with an incredibly strong grandmother, mother and sister. All three, independent, fierce, clever women who were hard workers, had goals and visions for themselves, and were really ambitious. And, they didn't apologize for those goals.

I want to do everything, and I don't think that's too ambitious.

Setting San Francisco on a course to sustainability will require all of us to work in concert on a number of ambitious efforts.

I was never ambitious to be a good actor. I just love doing it and I seem to be quite suited for it.
