There seems to be a law that governs all our actions so I never make plans.

It is bitter to think of one's best years disappearing in this unpolished country.

Is there anything better than to be longing for something, when you know it is within reach?

I smoke all the time, one after the other.

My talents fall within definite limitations. I am not as versatile an actress as some think.

If only those who dream about Hollywood knew how difficult it all is.

There seems to be a law that governs all our actions so I never make plans.

There are many things in your heart you can never tell to another person. They are you, your private joys and sorrows, and you can never tell them. You cheapen yourself, the inside of yourself, when you tell them.

If you are blessed, you are blessed, whether you are married or single.

Your joys and sorrows. You can never tell them. You cheapen the inside of yourself if you do tell them.

I want to be alone.

You don't have to be married to have a good friend as your partner for life.

The story of my life is about back entrances, side doors, secret elevators and other ways of getting in and out of places so that people won't bother me.

I never said, 'I want to be alone.' I only said, 'I want to be left alone.' There is all the difference.

There are some who want to get married and others who don't. I have never had an impulse to go to the altar. I am a difficult person to lead.

Life would be so wonderful if we only knew what to do with it.

I wish I were supernaturally strong so I could put right everything that is wrong.

Anyone who has a continuous smile on his face conceals a toughness that is almost frightening.

I'm tired and nervous and I'm in America. Here you don't know that you live.

I don't want to be a silly temptress. I cannot see any sense in getting dressed up and doing nothing but tempting men in pictures.

There is no one who would have me - I can't cook.

Being a movie star, and this applies to all of them, means being looked at from every possible direction. You are never left at peace, you're just fair game.

This is where I have wasted the best years of my life.

I think one's feelings waste themselves in words; they ought all to be distilled into actions which bring results.

We need people out talking about the President, explaining, agreeing with and praising his actions.

We have made mistakes. In our haste to do all things for all people, we did not foresee the full consequences of our actions. And when the people raised their voices, we didn't hear. But our deafness was only a temporary condition, and not an irreversible condition.

In addition to a timeline, I have proposed that U.S. troops be removed from front line combat positions in Iraqi cities and towns, turning over daily security patrols, interactions with citizens, and any offensive security actions to the Iraqis themselves.

I would certainly choose my jobs depending on the actions of the character. I won't do anything that has to do with child abuse or women's abuse.

When we criticize in Iran the actions of the government, the fundamentalists say that we and the Bush Administration are in the same camp. The funny thing is that human rights activists and Mr. Bush can never be situated in the same group.

I've no regrets. You take responsibility for your actions.

In order to change unwanted habits and actions, it is important to take the time to get to know yourself.

I have long since come to believe that people never mean half of what they say, and that it is best to disregard their talk and judge only their actions.

On the one hand, there are individual actions such as throwing, pushing, touching, rubbing. It is these individual actions that give rise most of the time to abstraction from objects.

The entire race is usually judged by the actions of one man or woman.

My actions to promote peace, the mediation missions which I carried out during many conflicts, which very often occurred between brothers of the same country, are not driven by any ulterior motives or any calculations based on personal ambitions.

Both state and church have as their object actions as well as convictions, the former insofar as they are based on the relations between man and nature, the latter insofar as they are based on the relations between nature and God.

Most of the animated films I watched, the emotions are all prepackaged like canned music, the hand actions, the sighs.

'Tis human actions paint the chart of time.

It would be immoral to walk away from the consequences of our actions, leaving behind anarchy and civil war in Iraq.

You can expect interior enforcement actions in the future.

We want a state wise in its contemplation - just in its actions - and moderate in the reach of government into our lives.

I respect very much the role of the media in our society; I think they can be very, very helpful. They serve as a very useful check, sort of a watchdog over the actions of the government, and I respect that.

Our actions are the results of our intentions and our intelligence.

Animals are reliable, many full of love, true in their affections, predictable in their actions, grateful and loyal. Difficult standards for people to live up to.

A man's most glorious actions will at last be found to be but glorious sins, if he hath made himself, and not the glory of God, the end of those actions.

Our souls may lose their peace and even disturb other people's, if we are always criticizing trivial actions - which often are not real defects at all, but we construe them wrongly through our ignorance of their motives.

Are not laws dangerous which inhibit the passions? Compare the centuries of anarchy with those of the strongest legalism in any country you like and you will see that it is only when the laws are silent that the greatest actions appear.

A little reflection will show us that every belief, even the simplest and most fundamental, goes beyond experience when regarded as a guide to our actions.

I don't always set stories in villages, more often in towns. But always in smallish communities because the characters' actions are more visible there, and the dramatic tension is heightened.
