I never had that star aura.

I just thought that I had had my fill for a while and wanted to have a family. My husband was moving to Chicago for his job. And so I went along. And it was a great thing that I did.

I like trying to get pregnant, I'm not so sure about childbirth.

I never had that star aura.

I never had that reputation of being not accessible.

It was at the beginning of all this tabloid frenzy. Our garbage was being gone through, and we were involved in all these chases getting home, and people camping out on our property to get pictures.

I started in this business on soap operas.

It always made me sad that there were kids who didn't have homes.

Thank God I didn't have my children until I was a little bit older.

You'll be a good parent when you're ready to no longer be selfish. Until I was about 35, it was all about me. I look back and I'm astonished at how I lived my life - it was totally self-involved.

Always say no pun intended to draw attention to the intended pun.

In Boston serpents whistle at the cold.

I grew up in a family where the women were just nuts. They didn't stand around in cardigans making polite conversation while they chopped tomatoes.

The more I see the less I know for sure.

Some guys can do more talking in the ring, other guys do posing, body building, whatever the hell they do in the ring. But I don't have the big body, and I'm not the big smooth talker, but I can get in the ring and wrestle.

I believe women should be independent and have their own life. But I also think that when a couple decides to have a family, things change because you need to live in unison.

It slaps your dignity just right. I loved the idea of these proud, dignified black men, and I saw the older ones wounded, and it wounded me ten times as much because I couldn't stand seeing them hurt like this.

If you learn the language of loss early, I think you seek out others who have experienced the same thing, who speak that same language of loss.

If you have three people in your life that you can trust, you can consider yourself the luckiest person in the whole world.

Not the first half you might have expected, even though the score might suggest that it was.

My belief is that if we take away that right to bear arms, the only people that are going to have them are... the ones breaking into your house.

When I first started drawing the earliest incarnation of 'Optic Nerve,' I hadn't even been on a date; I hadn't had a romantic relationship of any kind yet, so in a way, I was almost writing science fiction.

Journalism is my first love. But music comes in a close second. What's important for me is that whatever you do, whatever your passion is, you should have another passion - something in your life. And when I put on that musician hat and I put the bass in my hands, I'm not Lester Holt the TV guy anymore. I'm just Lester Holt who likes music.

At times you have to leave the city of your comfort and go into the wilderness of your intuition. What you ll discover will be wonderful. What you ll discover is yourself.

You have to get through the Hamlet hoop as a young actor. Your classical qualifications are based on the quality of your Hamlet. And then, as an older actor, you have to get through the Lear hoop. And I'm approaching the Lear hoop.

I think as a young person, you're kind of game for whatever sometimes.

They say that every Jewish person is supposed to love one black person in his life. I'm glad Lorne Michaels chose me.

Yahoo!, over the years, had been the king of the banner ad.

I don't think Tom Hardy has an actual voice of his own. Except maybe the one in 'The Dark Knight Rises,' as Bane.

I am not a labor hater.

I wish they'd had electric guitars in cotton fields back in the good old days. A whole lot of things would've been straightened out.

Even more important maybe, or equally more important at least, is they don't have to scrap for a living.

Everybody has to chip in, I think, and see how we can have a functioning system of collective security where we do not continue to face the threat of countries trying to acquire weapons of mass destruction or particularly nuclear weapons.

You grow and evolve and as you do that your art hopefully reflects that change and that growth.
