I like to go from mainstream movies to more artsy films. I don't sign on for the money. Maybe I should, but I don't. There's always a good reason for doing something.

I have a friend in New York who's a stylist and I went over to her place because she's got a lot of clothes. I basically ended up wearing most of it. So it's all stuff that I brought over.

I want to work with great directors. I want to work on good material with good actors. I've probably done 20 movies at this point and a lot of independents. It's been an incredible ride and I love it and I'm just going to keep going and doing what I'm doing.

I love scary movies. The Shining and Don't Look Now are two of the best.

We've always been ready for female superheroes. Because women want to be them and men want to do them.

Everybody gets typecast in movies, but you have to make wise choices. I'd say around 90 percent of movie casting is about the way you look, so you have to fight that. If producers had their way, I'd only be in action films, but I'm interested in a more varied career than that.

I always feel like I want to do my career my own way. I never follow anybody's path, what they've done.

I live in New York. I don't really particularly want to move to LA.

I love the first two X-Men movies because I thought that Bryan Singer did such a great job. He elevated that whole genre. He's a very talented director.

Just because you're of the same sex, what difference does it make? Get married to whomever you want.

I don't know how to cook and there's so much work involved you have to buy the groceries and prepare them. I like it when people cook for me, or I'll just order some take-out.

I try not to have high expectations of people because it just sets you up for disappointment, but it's great to work with actors who are that talented and accomplished.

It's never been important to be a huge star or to have some breakout role. If you're the lead, you get a lot more screen time and you get a lot more chances to develop that character more thoroughly than you would if you do it in a little supporting part.

Triple tonguing? It was sort of invented. It wasn't in the script. It was something that I came up with.

The only way to do is just to go for it, otherwise it ends up looking phoney.

Robert De Niro... It seemed like a pretty cool thing to do to put his name on my resume next.

I know Dark Phoenix is a huge part of the X-Men saga, so I'm assuming they're at least going to want to touch on it, but I don't know and I don't know whether I would want to be involved. That depends on many different things.

I personally like to do independent films.

I'm intrigued by the dark. Out of darkness comes creation.

I'm trying to fight typecasting as hard as I can, while I have time.

If you do well as an actor, a good director will pick up on it, and keep it in the film.

In studio films, everything has to be boxed in, everybody needs to know beforehand - this is comedy, this is sci-fi, this is drama - and what's the point of independent film if you don't get to experiment?

Once you achieve a certain level of success or fame, it becomes really difficult to go against type.

The Dutch are a very practical people.

There's certain things I try to avoid, as an actress, just to keep my world from being as narrow as it could be.

I keep pushing buttons and trying to grow as a person and as a filmmaker.

I also do not like the idea of soft money, these issue ads - people don't know where the money is coming from, millions and millions of dollars outside of the control of a candidate - there's no accountability.

Stories come from other shows at other studios where only 2,000 rounds were actually used and the money for the other 3,000 went right into the studio pockets. Corners were cut and that production suffered. Knock wood, that hasn't happened to us.

Never play anything that don't sound right. You might not make any money, but at least you won't get hostile with yourself.

Don't make music for some vast, unseen audience or market or ratings share or even for something as tangible as money. Though it's crucial to make a living, that shouldn't be your inspiration. Do it for yourself.

When I sent those scripts, that was the lowest point of my life. We'd just had our second son, and when I went to collect them from hospital, I went to the bank to try and get some money to buy some diapers, the screen showed I've got $26 left.

One does not need buildings, money, power, or status to practice the Art of Peace. Heaven is right where you are standing, and that is the place to train.

I would rather take the role and work and make my own money and self respect than to have sex with someone who has a lot of money.

People may take a job for more money, but they often leave it for more recognition.

I make no claim to being a business genius. You can make so much money in this business that it loses its value.

It costs a great deal of money to do a musical, and the more money involved, the more big business influences the artform.

Your team has to understand that coming into the ABA, you have to have your investments right and sponsorships and people ready to give you money so they can back you up.

I wanted to be an actress. In college I was a serious feminist and very political. I was determined to get one thing out of my career and that was respect. I didn't want money. I didn't care about fame.

A drunkard would not give money to sober people. He said they would only eat it, and buy clothes and send their children to school with it.

If you're a producer, you always spend too much money because you want that shot - and you're willing to spend a bundle to get it.

We are demonstrating for services for all the people and not just services for money. It's very important that this message goes to the European Parliament today.

I write plays not to make money, but to stop myself from going mad. Because it's my way of making the world rational to me.

It's important not to limit the amount of their own money that candidates can spend, but to give other people access to enough money to run competitive races.

The rule is not to talk about money with people who have much more or much less than you.

It's about the power of design and the power of the human spirit. It's above paying anybody to do something stupid for money like reality television does - like ambushing people.

Today, they're just up there for the money, just packaged and be gone.

The unions claim the deck is stacked against them when it comes to labor laws, but the truth is many private and public sector workers are forced to pay union dues as a condition of their employment, yet they have little say in how the unions spend their money.
