Because of my political views, I've been targeted as a lightning rod, someone who's too far out there.

Substantive and procedural law benefits and protects landlords over tenants, creditors over debtors, lenders over borrowers, and the poor are seldom among the favored parties.

My time is now.

Because of my political views, I've been targeted as a lightning rod, someone who's too far out there.

It always amuses me that the biggest praise for my work comes for the imagination, while the truth is that there's not a single line in all my work that does not have a basis in reality. The problem is that Caribbean reality resembles the wildest imagination.

I have to have energy because I have a lot of expenses. A couple of cars, couple of dogs and a big estate.

We are each entitled to our own opinion but no one is entitled to his own facts.

My dad was a theater actor, so he had an agent, and he brought me into his agency when I was maybe four years old. That was how I started. I started modeling, and it progressed from there.

I would rather be right than President.

I'm just a regular girl who likes to go snowboarding and picks her nose like anybody else. I just like to drive into things and take risks.

I consider Khomeini's position dangerous. He does not have the right to pass judgment-that is not the Islamic way.

A narrative that branded Africa as little more than an economic, political and social basket case was not likely to provide the investment needed to drive development.

I don't approach films purely in context of genre.

I'm a dad, and I no longer see a way for my kids to even inherit the money that I'm making, let alone go out there, have an idea, and create it in their own lifetime.

I didn't start exercising until the end of my modeling career. When you're young, you eat and drink what you want and stay up all night and still look good.

Truth is so obscure in these times, and falsehood so established, that, unless we love the truth, we cannot know it.

These companies know that at their current size they're not going to be big enough to have the necessary capital, and they don't have enough spectrum to get to the third generation.

After Andy Warhol died, it left a dark cloud over N.Y.C. nightlife.

I was in Washington, D.C., on the morning show, by the time I was 18, programming a station by 19, No. 1 in the mornings. I think I was making, I don't know, a quarter of a million dollars by the time I was 25.

You can be plain and smart, or pretty and smart. You can even be plain and dumb! You just have to be yourself.

I have enjoyed every call. The ones involving direct contact with people have been most rewarding.

I was 20, I was an amateur from 14 but my first professional role was at 22.

All slander must still be strangled in its birth, or time will soon conspire to make it strong enough to overcome the truth.

I love ocean life. I'm fascinated that so much of it remains unexplored by human beings. Diluted seawater consisted of nearly the same concentration of elements and minerals as blood plasma. They've got the same amount of sodium, too.

I'd been wanting to work with James McAvoy since I was in drama school. I suppose there are parallels in that we're Scottish, we went to the same drama school and share the same agent, but aside from that, he's someone I've looked up to.

To be able to work with people who I have respected and admired, to be a part of something like the Cannes Film Festival, is surreal and brilliant.

What does old look like? Sometimes I am wrinkled, sometimes not.

Modern allopathic medicine is the only major science stuck in the pre-Einstein era.
