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

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.

To a philosopher all news, as it is called, is gossip, and they who edit and read it are old women over their tea.

Everyone needs to be proactive and know the various warning signs of cancer. Early detection and research to make detection easier at earlier stages, along with the treatments needs, is still a must. I salute all those winning the battle.

The likelihood of success drops dramatically when you expand, especially in the services business. And there's a lot of capital that goes into opening another office.

I created, wrote, produced, and starred in my first-ever acting gig!

Conferences at the top level are always courteous. Name-calling is left to the foreign ministers.

Neither can the wave that has passed by being recalled, nor the hour which has passed return again.

Superstitious diners in Paris can hire a quatorzieme or professional 14th guest.

Dont die with a bottle of champagne in your fridge.

It’s your place in the world; it’s your life. Go on and do all you can with it, and make it the life you want to live.

When I was a young kid, my father was a big fan of Hollywood movies. He would make me watch movies with him, and he would explain the story and characters to me.

Leadership is one of the things I really strive to excel in in my life.

My hectic work schedule does not often permit me time to visit temples, but my conversations with God don't depend on idol worship. Inside my heart, I have developed and sustained a direct communication with Him.

Money always changes the game, when you let a dollar come between you and your friends, your cohorts.

God put the human race in charge of managing the resources of the entire planet for the benefit of all life. Therefore, we, of all people on this planet, should be concerned about environmental issues and doing what we can to enhance the beauty and productivity of the natural realm.

I like mixing things. I wear a lot of boots. Love boots. And then jeans, but I like to wear them with a really ruffly top. Or I love high-waisted anything.

It turns out that a Nobel is also followed by other recognitions, and perhaps the most unexpected of these is that the Japan Karate Association in Tokyo has now made me an honorary 7th-degree black belt, something that, given my athletic abilities, is even more unimaginable than being an Economic Sciences Laureate.

Honestly, it's been amazing to be a part of this journey on 'Veronica Mars.'

If you are a nurturing mother, and a good one, you can go to play groups, sit on the floor and play all the games, and have tea with the other mothers, but wouldn't you like to think that's not all there is? That you haven't hung up your high heels without knowing how to walk in them?

Great VCs do everything they can to make you successful. But just like your bank, credit card company, mortgage holder, etc. they are not confused where their long-term loyalty lies.

I think that distributors and marketing companies realise that there are a huge number of women over 40 who want to go the cinema and see films about themselves. Women of my age don't want to be force-fed with stuff about 25-year-olds.
