You only know what you know.

So much of life is luck. One day you make a right turn and get hit by a car. Turn left and you meet the love of your life. I think I made the correct turn.

Shirley Valentine is a beautiful character and so well written. What Shirley speaks and thinks is so logical.

We should be able to be ourselves. Make a political stand if you want to.

It wasn't so much that I was all alone on stage, but it was the realization of how much you need the response-you need the audience to tell you where to go.

I felt like I was flying without a net. But once I realized that the audience was my partner, I was flying a jet, because the people would allow me to develop the character on stage.

Animals are thinking, feeling creatures. They're sensitive.

When I went to school, I was in the same mode. I did the things I enjoyed, what I loved.

I just can't wait to get out there on stage. There's no anxiety at all. I love being able to take this journey with the audience, because we all have a ball with it - even if we're crying.

I don't think we should be deprived of the privilege of free speech.

I have certain strong interests that fill my life as well.

Everybody has their thing. I think you can always do what you like.

I love being creative in all forms.

It's never too late to go out and get that feeling back.

I don't eat or wear animals, but I never tell people not to - that's just my view.

If you care enough, you make a difference.

The pursuit of happiness is in our Constitution. We're all entitled to have the best we can.

M*A*S*H offered real characters and everybody identified with them because they had such soul. The humor was intelligent and it always assumed that you had an intellect.

You only know what you know.

Acting is not hiding to me; it's revealing. We give you license to feel. 'Hey, she's crying, so it's okay if I cry, too.' That's the most important thing in the world, because when you stop feeling, that's when you're dead.

Alan Alda is a dear friend, nothing like the cynical, bitter Hawkeye.

Hot Lips changed a lot in eleven years. Initially, Margaret Houlihan behaved as though a man were the only thing that could complete her life, and she didn't see what richness her life contained. She gained a lot of self-esteem through the years, and she came to realize that what she did, what she offered, was valuable.

If you're 90 and look good in a mini-skirt, go for it. What is 'age appropriate'? Such nonsense. My mother lived to 106, so what's middle-age? Seventy is the new 50.

My first thought in life was wanting to be an actor. I was in ballet slippers and on pointe as soon as I could walk. I always wanted to be an actress, not a mother or housewife.

My parents didn't want me to go into show business. They were afraid of what would happen if I didn't succeed. They wanted me to get married and have babies. I never saw marriage and family in my life.

Watching movies was like going to school for me. It still is. You're always learning. Even if it's bad, you're learning what not to do.

When I left the house to become an actress, my mother literally flung her body across the door and said, 'You're killing me!' It was a very strict household. That can be okay, but there was also no nourishment, either.

One of the best places for a shy person to meet people is in a coffee shop. If you are a reader, bring a book and read it there - that gives a guy something to ask you about. Same goes for sketching, writing, or any hobby you can take with you.

I feel like that's so important, to enjoy my own music. Because if I'm not passionate about my music, then it's going to show to the fans.

By the way, I'm wearing the smile you gave me.

It would be better for everyone if we deleted everything by default and saved the things that are important to us.

Frank was the BOSS and was not open to anything that was not from his head. There were no arguments about music because if you did, he would show you where the door was. Period.

Never dare to turn your subconscious mind into a shelter for thoughts or beliefs that aren't working in your favor.

Fines are preferable to imprisonment and other types of punishment because they are more efficient. With a fine, the punishment to offenders is also revenue to the State.

File sharing is our radio; that's the way people hear our stuff.

A manufacturing nation is, in every sense of the word, dependent on others. Look to England! Cut off from the markets of the world, misery and ruin await her.

I realized early on I was not an actor. And it was a great thing to have that realization. To see actors and see what that talent is... it wasn't me.

Let the improvement of yourself keep you so busy that you have no time to criticize others.

We must make every effort to neutralize this threat peacefully, but be ever mindful of the growing danger Iran poses not just to a safe and free America, but to our allies abroad.

I enjoyed my stay in the Congress. Most people do not. And too many people who have been elected really don't understand the nature of government.

It has been my observation that parents kill more dreams than anybody.

Those in powerless positions aren't about to complain about bullying bosses, abusive supervisors or corrupt co-workers. There is no safe way to do so and no process that promises redress.

Peace cannot be achieved through violence, it can only be attained through understanding.

I think I am more determined than ever in my future plans, and I have quite made up my mind that nothing must be suffered to interfere with them. I intend to make such arrangements in town as will secure me a couple of hours daily (with very few exceptions) for my studies.

I'm a shy person, so I get really nervous going into interviews.

I was thinking, too, of Superman and his fortress of solitude.

I grew up in a Hindu household but went to a Roman Catholic school. I grew up with a mother who said, 'I'll arrange a marriage for you at 18,' but she also said that we could achieve anything we put our minds to an encourage us to dream of becoming prime minister or president.

Basically its the core story. About a guy having an affair with the mother of the girl he falls in love with.

I haven't looked at marriage in the conventional sense, as far as settling down. I look at it as putting faith in another person, which has always been hard for me to do.
