I hated seeing myself on screen. I was full of complexes. I hated my face for a very, very long time.

I wasn't getting the responses I hoped for. You can't protect yourself from other judgments.

Wanting to do it was much more powerful than the fright.

I'm a very shy person towards my intimacy and private life.

The character is close to me, except that I haven't lived through those situations, so it's not completely me.

I hope I'll consider my next part, having learnt from this one.

You don't even need the director's judgement. It's too much.

I went on television and I wouldn't say a word; I feel so stupid when I watch them again.

I thought people would ask me really personal questions because I've shown more of myself, but it's a comedy, and people understand that it's a game we play.

I was putting all those pressures on myself.

You think that being a girl is degrading, but secretly, you'd love to know what it's like, wouldn't you?

It's more than a job. It's very personal, so when you're hurt, you're really hurt inside.

I couldn't do anything else, I enjoy it so much. But I find it tough.

In France, you're with the crew, and you have lunch with them. It's more like a family.

At the beginning it wasn't to do with the work, it was more the experience.

The English was really my mother, it was never me. Being the daughter of my father, I always felt very French.

The more sincere I could be, the better it would be for the film.

I used to hate being recognised.

There were always questions about my parents; I got so fed up with that.

It's nice that we have all these different films.

I hated seeing myself on screen. I was full of complexes. I hated my face for a very, very long time.

Girls can wear jeans, cut their hair short, wear shirts and boots, 'cause it's okay to be a boy, but for a boy to look like a girl is degrading.

When you love someone, you don't want them to suffer at all.

I'm desperate to work again. I've often had those periods, but two years was the longest.

Everyone gets the feeling that they know you and they know your life, and I felt really embarrassed by that.

Letting go of things and not being afraid of being ridiculous or over the top - I think that's the main thing for me to work on.

I still find it hard to push my own limits. I know where my limits are and that I always have to push myself.

The more you turn down things, the more difficult it becomes to feel that the next one will be right.

I found it very difficult to explain to someone why you did a film. It's not like having a conversation.

By Rice's own standards, the war was well underway by the time he took office. He was a war president the moment he took the oath. But did he act like one?

At the end, the realization is that she had to get to a place in her life where she could drop her guard and make peace with the fact that whether she had a small amount of time, that she had to kind of live it completely through, instead of living by the rules.

It will take a long time, and certainly the West will remain the dominant civilization well into the next century, but the decline is occurring.

I have done things politically, and I've been running a business at the same time, but I sort of joke that to some extent I do more than most legislators have done in their whole careers, and I've been doing it as a part-time job.

I hate wasting people's time.

I just wrote one song at a time. Kinda like an alcoholic. One day at a time.

An intelligent man is sometimes forced to be drunk to spend time with his fools.

The work that we do during the winter is very important; we have a new bike and it's important to develop it during this time, and we start with this test.

Fortunately, I happened to go east at a time when live television was centered in New York.

I want to spend more time with those kids. I want to dedicate my time to train those kids and teach them what it takes, what they need to do to get to this level.

Public opinion polls are rather like children in a garden, digging things up all the time to see how they're growing.

Sitting at home the way I do, I'd just love the hear from people. It'd be a great help in passing the time.

When it is time to get to work, I go away completely and don't do anything except the work. And that can be 16 hours a day.

You look at the whole Human Rights questions, I happened to be there at just the right time when the country was awakening - this goes to the first question you asked - the whole country was awakening to a hundred years of injustice that hadn't been resolved yet.

Compared to today's salaries, our cut was minuscule but it was very good for the time.

They haul you up there for, you know, week after week in this kind of star chamber proceeding. Then at the end of it they say, well, we found nothing, but now it's time for special counsel.

When I did the record, I was coming off a time when my contract had been sold and the music industry had changed a lot. I didn't understand how to make records for big labels. I was waiting for a new kind of record label to emerge.

Hell, if I'd jumped on all the dames I'm supposed to have jumped on, I'd have had no time to go fishing.

I've danced one time in my life. It was the most mortifying experience I ever had.

At the end of your life, you will never regret not having passed one more test, not winning one more verdict or not closing one more deal. You will regret time not spent with a husband, a friend, a child, or a parent.
