Intensity is so much more becoming in the young.

My daughter, the one who lives nearby, is raising her children to be very much aware. We went on a nature walk on Monday; I'm learning so much from her.

Sexiness wears thin after a while and beauty fades, but to be married to a man who makes you laugh every day, ah, now that's a real treat.

I was down in Washington when 9/11 happened. We were in the middle of putting together the next summer season, and all I could think of was something somehow must make sense to us. Our Town kept coming into my mind.

There can be no one best way of organizing a business.

Actors and writers need to come back to the theater because it's a place where you can learn. You have to pay your dues, and people who haven't paid their dues in the theater, I think, have a hard time creating a whole career.

I don't like getting myself in hot water. But suddenly I find that every minute I have to stop and think about what I'm saying. I can see what's going to happen. I'm going to have to stop giving interviews because I'm always saying the wrong thing. I don't want that to happen.

I remember when I first won the Academy Award and how much I loved it. I just wish there was an award around that you could really believe in again.

I used to be neurotic. I didn't like myself very much. But somewhere in my mid-40s, my neuroses stopped seeming so important. I developed a sense of humor.

I was not a very good mother. I was always running out to do a movie or something. If I had to do it over, I would either have a career or children. I wouldn't do both unless I could work in my home. I spent 20 years feeling guilty, which is not a very nice emotion.

I'd love to run for office, but it requires such knowledge.

I'm a risk-taker. I like to test myself.

The September 11th tragedy forced us all to look at the world in a different way, and it reminds us all of the importance of living every moment.

Germany's Angela Merkel exudes an atmosphere of elderly exhaustion and pooped-out pessimism. Britain's David Cameron, though by nature exuberant, feels he has to look and sound glum. And France's leader, Francois Hollande, seems determined to drive every successful businessman out of the country.

If we take care of the moments, the years will take care of themselves.

Divas arent made theyre born.

Thankfulness creates gratitude, which generates contentment that causes peace.

If you can't do the little things right, you will never do the big things right.

It's essential to keep an open mind, and to be willing better yet, eager to try new things.

I wouldn't say I was a queen. Maybe a little elf.

Identity in the form of continuity of personality is an extremely important characteristic of the individual.

Always remember you are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.

You are successful when you accomplish the goals and dreams you set for yourself.

Communication is very important. And the arts do that, whether it's film or theater.

I act like sh*t don't phase me, inside it drives me crazy, my insecurities could eat me alive.

I am very proud to have kept my commitment to introduce the married couples' tax allowance. I think it will prove very popular. I think it's absolutely right that we recognise marriage in the tax system properly, and I would like to see that expanded.

His work isn't all glower. Even though he hasn't smiled in a movie since the underrated 'Proof' in the early 1990s, Mr. Crowe is given to a hurt swallow when he's uncomfortable and to a look of suffering in his eyes.

Don't worry about the war. It's all over but the shooting.

I started out as a stand-up comedian. And that's what I'm most comfortable doing.

It's pretty hard to make out what's going to be a commercial success and what's not.

When I was really little I would sit in the back of my dad's car when he'd be playing old-school music. He'd turn down the music and turn around and I'd be singing and know all of the words but I didn't even know how to talk. From then on I've always wanted to be a singer.

Feelings are like a color chart that God has given us.

I am definitely romantic, and I love romantic stories - that's why I keep making romantic movies.

I've realised that I am who I am and that is it. Like it or lump it. I'm not around to please anyone any more, and it's a huge relief.

I'm an athlete, so I can dress down with the best of them. I can throw on t-shirts and sweats with the best of them.

I was home-schooled, was always very close with my mom and was very straight-laced and square. I was never the rebellious one, and I never threw hissy fits.
