I never regretted what I turned down.

Here I am, I still go on, you know, like the tides.

I was put under contract. A major studio. I got nominated for an Academy Award. Isn't that ridiculous? I mean, at the age of 18!

I made about 56 movies, I think. Not that many.

I think of myself as a journeyman actress. I will attempt almost anything that I think that I can bring off. It could be almost anything.

A sitcom. I hate that word.

I've worked with the greatest actors, and they're all gone. This is what's so desperate to me.

I started in London, as a kid. My mother knew I had sort of an inbred talent. She was an actress, so I inherited it from her. But I think I got a lot of it from my grandfather, who was a great politician.

Clint Eastwood is an extraordinary director because he knows the value of a buck. He knows where it will show on the screen.

I have never directed. But I think I could. I have thought about it. I'm a bit long in the tooth to start.

I never regretted what I turned down.

The Manchurian Candidate was the most important movie I was in, let's face it.

We all have levels of performance.

Mystery is something that appeals to most everybody.

The theater is magical and addictive.

Believe me, it jabs you. When you're on the side of buses and New York loves you, you love to go out there every night. It's like a race. Curtain opens, out you go, and New York is yours.

I don't think about going back to the theater.

Mystery is something that appeals to most everybody.

It's better to have tried and failed than never tried, you can rest easy knowing you gave it a go.

When we started out, you could design a chip with a few guys in a basement.

I can still play this game at a high level; I've proven that. I want to be home. I want to be close to my family. I want to be close to my foundation and my business interests.

Only with the tools of production in their own hands could the workers ever hope to control their own lives and receive the fruits of their labor.

As soon as you tell me to do one thing, I do the opposite. As soon as someone tells me not to get any more tattoos, I have this intense fire burning inside me to cover myself with them. I don't care if it's self-destructive. I just have that need to rebel.

I've got beautiful reviews for all my books, and I'm very well thought of in the tiny circles that know me, but I'm really starving.

Reality is a genre that seems to be here to stay. I don't know how many of the new shows will last, but the more competition you have, the harder that pie is to slice up.

A girl without braids is like a city without bridges.

Every art expression is rooted fundamentally in the personality and temperament of the artist.

I think a lot of modern day guitarists start off playing like Eddie van Halen, and they don't take the time to learn the basics.

In Denver, I was a homebody, and that's a life I'd chosen with great happiness. I wanted that break from the arc lights and focus on building a lovely home, have some fun, look after my kids and do things that I had missed out on while pursuing my dream.

Matters of the heart are important to me. All this materialism and all the money and wealth are things that you don't take to the grave. One day you have it. The next day you don't.

Diarrhea, 90 percent of which is caused by food and water contaminated by excrement, kills a child every fifteen seconds. That's more than AIDS, malaria, or measles, combined. Human feces are an impressive weapon of mass destruction.

Pick any scientific field, and you'll find that those snubbed by their communities, left feeling alone and despised, were often those on the forefront.

The best and most beautiful things in this world cannot be seen or even heard, but must be felt with the heart.

The history of American politics is littered with bodies of people who took so pure a position that they had no clout at all.

When you feel so strongly about something and other people feel equally strongly you have to feel stronger about it in order to succeed.

When under siege, if we do not stand for our liberties and for the liberties of those who are unable to stand for themselves, then the great American experience will come to an end.

You would never do stand-up without an audience. I mean, no one would even consider it. It’s like they’re the instrument you’re playing."

Happiness and confidence are the prettiest things you can wear.

Golf's a great game, and you meet a lot of people along the way.

When you try on something, you have to ask yourself, 'How many ways could I wear this? Could I wear it to work? To dinner or drinks? Will it span the seasons' If you have to think too hard about those questions, then skip it.

I was fortunate, I guess, to be part of some good fiscal discipline in the Bush administration. The budget I put forward was a balanced budget.

It wasn't about the X's and the O's and the strategy; it was more about keeping 12 guys focused and committed to a task. That group dynamic, and then helping them to grow as people and basketball players.
