Disaffection stalks around us.

Disaffection stalks around us.

And now, dear sister, I must leave this house or the retreating army will make me a prisoner in it by filling up the road I am directed to take.

It is one of my sources of happiness never to desire a knowledge of other people's business.

Our private property must be sacrificed.

Two messengers covered with dust come to bid me fly, but I wait for him.

I am accordingly ready; I have pressed as many Cabinet papers into trunks as to fill one carriage; our private property must be sacrificed, as it is impossible to procure wagons for its transportation.

At this late hour a wagon has been procured, and I have had it filled with plate and the most valuable portable articles, belonging to the house.

It is done... the precious portrait placed in the hands of the gentlemen for safe keeping.

When I shall again write to you, or where I shall be tomorrow, I cannot tell.

I think the qualities I look for in a girl I'd like to be my girlfriend would be the way Lindsay's character is before she becomes a plastic. Very real.

The joy of losing consists in this: Where there are no expectations, there is no disappointment.

I'm very emotional and possessive about all my films.

There’s always another level up. There’s always another ascension. More grace, more light, more generosity, more compassion, more to shed, more to grow.

I never got into using my phone's calendar. It's easier to write in my Tiffany day planner. There's something charming about having a datebook.

It's true as a woman, particularly: the older you get, the parts get thinner on the ground and not quite as interesting, that's for sure.

The music I have created, along with the other Beach Boys, has taken me all over the world. For these past 50 years, I guess you could say, 'I get around.'

Ease up, the play is over.

Green chemistry is replacing our industrial chemistry with natures recipe book. Its not easy because life uses only a subset of the elements in the periodic table. And we use all of them even the toxic ones.

Twitter is wonderful. You can kill rumours instantly.

To me, casting is all about finding a character within the actor off the screen as much as on the screen.

If you love dance and you have the gift of teaching, teaching is super amazing and important because my teachers planted that seed in me. As a teacher you understand the difference or the definition of a Baryshnikov or a Gregory Hines, so teaching is really important and very necessary.

One of the worst things about being an actor, besides people being nice to you and getting free stuff all the time - but really, one of the worst things is not knowing what's coming next. You could shoot a pilot, and they could have you on hold for six months waiting to find out what is going to happen with the show, and you're locked into it.

I hope the English-speaking world can see that I'm not only an Israeli actress.

The Internet is an interesting tool to use to reach people with things that you might call 'Disney learning,'

Never use a long word when a short one will do.

People have said to me 'I hope you won't let happen in Washington what is happening in Kansas.'

I think then, when we started receiving the first of the user feedback, feedback from people that I had not specifically told about it, but had spread from friend to friend and then they were giving us feedback.

I don't make movies thinking: 'Oh, this is going to be a huge box-office hit.'

I think when the full horror of being fifty hits you, you should stay home and have a good cry.

People say you don't need a father to be successful. I take offense to that.

I've always felt like a kid, and I still feel like a kid, and I've never had any problem tapping into my childhood, and my kid side.

The modern minds in each generation are the critics who preserve us from a petrifying world, who will not leave us to walk undisturbed in the ways of our fathers.

Gray is great. People think gray is a neutral, but I think it's such a moody, intense, dramatic and sexy color. It's very sleek.
