Hola Ruth

No, if you wish something for yourself you then drop "que" and use an infinitive. For example:

Yo quiero que tú vayas a Francia. 

I want you to go to France.

(subjunctive, as there are two subjects)

but

Yo quiero ir a Francia.

I want to go to France.

No "que" and no subjunctive but infinitive.

I hope it clarified it.

Saludos
