When we are on tour we also take chances.

Sometimes it works, sometimes it fails, but that's what we face when we're dealing with improvisation.

I feel very strongly when there's no chance for me to find a key to a piece.

If you feel you have the right key, you try to make some phrase or sound that will fit.

You have to react to what's around you in the moment, whatever the music is. Just think of it as some place you have to enter and you need to find the key.

When we are on tour we also take chances.

There's a certain phraseology involved in jazz, and I've moved away from that.

Coltrane was moving out of jazz into something else. And certainly Miles Davis was doing the same thing.

The only element of jazz that I keep is improvisation.

Jazz, for me, is a closed circuit, like the term baroque in the world of classical music.

I was a very confident child. I knew I wanted to be an actress from the age of 5.

So you have to take the good with the bad.

The feminist spirit still lives! It shows most boldly among younger women from the millennial generation.

The law helps those who watch, not those who sleep.

As long as we have hope we have direction the energy to move and the map to move by

The characters I've played as an actress have been really challenging and emotionally rewarding, but there was just something missing. I was finding over and over again that directors were looking to me to help with troubles on set as far as characters' relationships, special effects and story points were concerned.

I spend a lot of time writing. I get inspiration from texts rather than images.

I hope they make a show like M*A*S*H, which dealt with a lot of difficult subject matter but was very funny.

A lot of times, I get asked, 'Do you feel you have a responsibility to young girls to be a role model?' I don't see that happening as much to guys. I feel like, just because I'm a girl, I'm supposed to take more responsibility? Is that how it works?

The choice that frees or imprisons us is the choice of love or fear. Love liberates. Fear imprisons.

Writing helps me process things that are happening to me.

My own suspicion is that a stand-alone artificial mind will be more a tool of narrow utility than something especially apocalyptic.

New Labour was the most short-sighted, self-serving, incompetent, useless, and ineffective government that Britain has ever known. Make no mistake, Labour's economic policies were a national security liability.

I love doing action.

So much destruction in modern war takes place miles and miles away from the source of the destruction, the human being who has caused it.

Well, paycheck protection is an important ingredient for a successful campaign finance reform measure.

Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing you will be successful.

The stigma of the straight-to-DVD thing is over.

I like characters. I like spirited characters whether they exist in fiction or real life. Whether they're the invention of artistic people or directors, musicians. I think music and art and fashion designers inspire me and I like characters.

Our mandate expects that we will build on the Joint Inquiry's investigation and we will not be re-inventing the wheel. But we go to places which the Joint Inquiry was not permitted to explore.

I can see now a vision emerging how Canada is going to profit in the future from our Arctic resources without destroying the environment on which it is all based.

I've got a lot of crazy plans.

Infinity converts the possible into the inevitable.

I have a beautiful family. I want to be here, for my family.
