could be said for observation Intuitions are not wholly reliable, but also in the fact that we know so little about them

intuition is an expression of tacit knowledge.

Knowledge is being aware of what you can do. Wisdom is knowing when not to do it.

I've usually had two styles: the Fletch character and the Clark Griswold character.

I don't often get recognized for my work, but I look familiar. I'm just a working-man actor. I go and audition, and you just hope the work keeps coming.

You've got to be before you can do and do before you can have.

You have to have an awareness of where you're going, what the event is, what you're promoting, and who the audience is. That always informs the way you dress.

The left claims that Republicans hate Hispanics, which is just the most ludicrous thing I've ever heard, and the right just claims all we need to do is close the borders and do nothing else, which is also ridiculous.

I'm a big supporter of the military simply because I'm the daughter of a Polish immigrant who fled Europe during World War II from Poland and lied about his age to join the Army simply because he was proud to be an American. And who isn't?

I still have a lot of judgmentalism in me, where I'd see somebody, and I just would, you know, I disagree with this person, and you kind of automatically cast them away. And even though you don't do anything physically, you don't say anything, but people get a real sense of your heart.

'The Miracle Worker' is just such an incredibly powerful play on stage, and is so kinetic, and athletic.

I really don't care what people think of me.

'Gorilla Man' is a composite of a few individuals, but the song itself was actually inspired by James Taylor. I spied his 'Gorilla' album laying on my floor and in some altered state, instantly started singing the chorus. It was fun to write. There's an old notebook with at least three more verses in it somewhere.

Music is entirely subjective. I was thinking that for myself, for songwriting and what I like to listen to, to help motivate me as a songwriter, as a musician, there are certain things I lean towards and certain things I don't.
