When you do bad things, bad things happen to you.

I'm shy. I can go on a trip for days and not go because I won't sit on a toilet seat on a plane. I'm certainly not going to go on somebody's lawn. Could you imagine, in a cocktail dress?

When you do bad things, bad things happen to you.

My number one goal is to love, support and be there for my son.

It's still going on. I guess it will be until Redmond quits, dies or is jailed.

God gave women intuition and femininity. Used properly, the combination easily jumbles the brain of any man I've ever met.

God made man stronger but not necessarily more intelligent. He gave women intuition and femininity. And, used properly, that combination easily jumbles the brain of any man I've ever met.

I am proud of what I have got and I need an audience.

Have I been wiretapped? Yes. But who they said wiretapped me was incorrect.

Everything has positive and negative consequences.

I became famous almost before I had a craft.

I don't think an actor ever wants to establish an image. That certainly hurt me, and yet that is also what made me successful and eventually able to do more challenging roles.

I find that, for me, personally - and this is in everyday life - if I'm not growing, if I can't be stimulated in a conversation, then I am bored. And I'm not good when I'm bored.

I think that when you're kind of just shoved out there and you have to be tough and you're facing tough people and people are saying bad things about you, that all of a sudden, you have to become a little less sweet.

I was terrified of getting the chemo. It's not pleasant. And the radiation is not pleasant.

I would rather make feature movies because, let's face it, you take more time. You take seven days to do a show, and you take three or four months to do a movie.

I'm a private person. I'm shy about people knowing things.

I'm holding onto the hope that there is some reason that I got cancer and there is something - that may not be very clear to me right now - but that I will do.

In the face of excruciating pain and uncertainty, I never lost hope, and it never occurred to me to stop fighting - not ever.

It would almost be sinful to say that I regretted doing 'Charlie's Angels' because it did so much for my career.

Marriages that last are with people who do not live in Los Angeles.

The reason that the all-American boy prefers beauty to brains is that he can see better than he can think.

This experience has also humbled me by giving me a true understanding of what millions of others face each day in their own fight against cancer.

To be rude to someone is not my nature.

You have to eventually grow up and take control of your life, which is very hard to do.

You know what I would love? I would love to be one of those actresses who can come out with a film or come out with a new commercial without the world knowing about it.

Everyday is a good day just some days are better.

I am definitely going to take a course on time management... just as soon as I can work it into my schedule.

Every time I come to the States, I wish people would react to war like they react to tobacco, for example. Because war really kills in a second lots of people, thousands of people.

Good ideas are common – what’s uncommon are people who’ll work hard enough to bring them about.

Time = life; therefore, waste your time and waste of your life, or master your time and master your life.

If I wrote a play with four characters every single one of them would talk like me regardless of age or sex.

It's my belief we developed language because of our deep inner need to complain.

Labour politicians for generations have fought to bring democracy to the House of Lords.

The first thing I tried to do in the months after losing my mother was to write a poem. I found myself turning to poetry in the way so many people do - to make sense of losses. And I wrote pretty bad poems about it. But it did feel that the poem was the only place that could hold this grief.

Don't force your kids into sports. I never was. To this day, my dad has never asked me to go play golf. I ask him. It's the child's desire to play that matters, not the parent's desire to have the child play. Fun. Keep it fun.

I didn't realize Boston was so easy to get around. In my head, I imagined Boston being this really sprawling city.

Fantasy allows you bend the world and the situation to more clearly focus on the moral aspects of what's happening. In fantasy you can distill life down to the essence of your story.

When tea becomes ritual, it takes its place at the heart of our ability to see greatness in small things. Where is beauty to be found? In great things that, like everything else, are doomed to die, or in small things that aspire to nothing, yet know how to set a jewel of infinity in a single moment?

I like to draw late at night when the house is quiet.

My mom is a typical mother.

My ma is an economist. My dad is a software engineer.

Retire from work, but not from life.

A lot of local food is very tasty. I'm very happy to eat it. I just don't think it's the same thing as saving the world.

I tend to be shy in asking people for photos - other actors that I really like and admire.

My political ideas and things like that, even my religion, I try to keep close to me because it's a personal thing, and I don't shove it down people's throats. I don't condemn any artist that wants to do that, like the Baldwins. That's their choice. But in my world, I'm just an entertainer.

Kids are all computer-savvy. Sit down and write to your parents on the computer. And just say, I have some questions and I'm scared. There's some stuff I don't know and I really need to talk to you about sex. Tear it off and put it on their pillow. They'll read it.

When you're a short actor you stand on apple boxes, you walk on a ramp. When you're a short star everybody else walks in a ditch.

I think about all of the freaking talent shows I've tried out for in my life, and I'm so glad I didn't make any of them.
