I just admire everybody and sit in awe and watch them.

I don't know why my lines that were cut from the film didn't make it onto the DVD. I have offered to go into the editing room with Christopher and work shoulder to shoulder with him to fit all my lines in. I think he thinks I'm kidding. I'm only trying to help.

It's such a pleasure to work in these movies, it's almost like it's not really happening.

Someone I've always admired is Catherine O'Hara... I think she's one of the best actresses in the country, not only comedy. I just think she's just a step aside from everybody, she's just wonderful.

It's more fun in a way to do ensemble scenes, where you know your background, you know the scene, but you can't prepare because someone else is going to say something that is going to lead you off.

I just admire everybody and sit in awe and watch them.

Suddenly you're like a pirate, you're 65 years old and you've got an earring.

If you know two languages the level of your intelligence is multiplied a hundredfold in other peoples eyes.

I have this prominent feature on my face - I don't know if you've noticed - but, well, they're my lips. They tend to walk into a room before I do because they're larger than average! So Chapstick's a big one for me.

I'm not freakishly short. I had, on my show, used shortness as a joke subject; it didn't really bother me.

If you're on the right side of the issue, just keep driving until you hear glass breaking. Don't quit.

A designer is only as good as the star who wears her clothes.

The conductor's gift does not always go hand in hand with that of composition; indeed, the union is found much more seldom than is popularly believed.

Whether you are liberal or conservative, people seem to know the talking points for whatever the issue of the day is.

My mother is a very strange woman... She doesn't understand me in the least and doesn't love me much either. If she had either love or understanding she would be prepared to make sacrifices.

I actually do think you're seeing this trend towards organizations just caring more about their brand and engaging. And so I think Home Depot will want to humanize itself. I think that's a lot of why companies are starting blogs, are just giving more insight into what's going on with them.
