I don't think I fit the Marilyn Maxwell mode.

Kirk is a man, and he loves it. He loves women.

I did my very first film with Kirk in Detective Story when he was the greatest, greatest star in the world. I fell in love with him, had a crush on him then.

When I became a director, I wanted to convince a very reluctant Sidney into allowing me to go on the journey of his life. Sidney had gone ahead of every other African American actor.

I am proud of Kirk. I think he drums to his own drummer in every way.

I've been married to one Marxist and one Fascist, and neither one would take the garbage out.

My instinct was that it was Sidney's childhood in the Bahamas that gave him the fearlessness to fight racism. So this documentary was a kind of rounding out of what had begun in that scene in In the Heat of the Night.

What goes on between a father and a son, which is usually such a private matter, is that they are able to be honest with each other, and be honest with me, as a director. It's just remarkable.

It's a very good feeling to be around a man who thinks women are juicy.

You don't need a love scene to show love.

I don't think I fit the Marilyn Maxwell mode.

This is our lives. The way to give it dignity is to tell the truth.

I know what you go through when you learn someone close to you has died.

People break down after a couple of hours. All the defenses go down, and there's a kind of communication that if I spent 20 years in a living room with one of these people, I would never, never know as much about them as I do in that one day.

Every actor in the room honored Sidney for being there so many years before. And everybody was so moved to be at a place where history was being made again. It was tangible.

A lot of very, very big stars were going down and not being seen or heard from again. Kirk took a huge chance in putting a blacklisted writer's name on the screen and somehow or other, he survived it, like he survives everything.

People asked if I could have played the Terminator. Are you kidding? Not a chance, I never could have played the Terminator.

He who forgives readily only invites offense.

I think that being thrown into instant fame must be, at times, difficult.

In Einstein's general relativity the structure of space can change but not its topology. Topology is the property of something that doesn't change when you bend it or stretch it as long as you don't break anything.

Why is Caterpillar bad if we create a new job in India or China to receive U.S. exports? It makes no sense to me. We want to drive all the exports we can from the United States. We want to concentrate on all those consumers, outside contractors, customers outside the United States that we possibly can.

I can't relate to lazy people. We don't speak the same language. I don't understand you. I don't want to understand you.

This may sound trite, but bad things happen to good people, and when you're facing terrorism, natural disaster, you can have every wonderful plan in place, but I am a realist.

I have my favourite fashion decade, yes, yes, yes: '60s. It was a sort of little revolution; the clothes were amazing but not too exaggerated.

And when you love someone you dont always see them realistically.

Shakespeare pulls on us and demands the best of us. You never successfully wrestle one of his plays to the ground and say, 'See? That's It!'

Reducing trade barriers with this key ally will go a long way toward increasing market access for American farmers, manufacturers and service providers.

I like rock music because it's always sonically fascinating. There's never a method to what it needs to sound like. It's just however that instrument comes out that day, whatever the humidity level was in the air, what studio you were at. All that makes that tone that you can't re-create, so each song is like a person.

Self-awareness is not the same thing as self-approval, any more than imagination is the same thing as day-dreaming.

Leadership is something you earn, something you're chosen for. You can't come in yelling, 'I'm your leader!' If it happens, it's because the other guys respect you.

Love is that splendid triggering of human vitality... the supreme activity which nature affords anyone for going out of himself toward someone else.

My responsibility is, I'm always trying to look for new people of color or even artistic people who need a chance.

Any time I was at Trader Joes, and the person bagging my stuff would be like, 'Did I go to college with you? How do I know you?' Then it took awhile, and suddenly people were like, 'Oh, you are the girl from 'United States of Tara.'

I don't want to be remembered as a writer. I would rather be remembered as a storyteller.

I continue to have a special pride and passion for AOL, and I strongly believe that AOL - once the leading Internet company in the world - can return to its past greatness.

Who deserves more credit than the wife of a coal miner? Mother was one.

Loopt isn't a service that keeps you locked in, staring at your screen.

Have a great day. Note does not apply to my enemies.

Deep ocean drilling is not new.

You, the actor, must be aware of when you're being funny, but the character you're playing should always be oblivious to the fact.
