And it's interesting, but I'm always interested in the story behind the story.

A conversation goes sometimes into personal things and that's nicer. You look to each other and you have a different picture, you get into a relationship.

Except here it's more power, more energy, younger and also in Europe it's still not only entertainment. Theater or films are looked at as a moral institution. That's why maybe they're so poetic. Here it's clear entertainment.

The interesting thing is that I found scenes which I put together which could appeal to almost every woman, or apply to almost every woman after the war. Falling in love, dancing, marrying.

I never played the right roles, or very rarely got the right roles offered, except on stage.

I did have fun, for example, in The Black Hole which was very popular among youngsters.

First love is first love, first marriage is first marriage, disappointment is disappointment.

And in reality, I don't think it's a real documentary. It's more a story of her life. It's a story of survival. It's a story of the time in which she lived. The story of success and failure.

I'm always happy when I'm left alone, but if somebody comes and is nice, then we talk.

I played piano, I learned a lot about music.

I think there's a poet who wrote once a tragedy by Shakespeare, a symphony by Beethoven and a thunderstorm are based on the same elements. I think that's a beautiful line.

We should never forget that Hollywood was built by Europeans, and the old Jewish boys from Eastern Europe.

I just think the word interview, although it is the view between two people exchanged, became a sort of cliche. You ask questions and the other one answers.

Well, I did Marlene 15 years ago and that's in the style. It's somehow similar and not similar because Marlene was much more aggressive, funny and sad.

And it's interesting, but I'm always interested in the story behind the story.

Music in this film is a very important part.

As an actor, I was a fantastic rebel. Then I became a directorial rebel and understood rebels from both sides. So now I am a friend who gives advice - not one who knows more, necessarily, but who shares ideas.

Directing is like meeting a woman. You don't know her, but something strikes you, and then you just have to go into it.

Everything you do has certain significance, a certain weight. I think there is a film in everyone.

I am America's number-one fan. I like your food. Especially corn flakes.

I'll never forget Spencer Tracy. He only worked from nine to one - then from three to five again.

My mother was an actress and a director, as well. And my father was a playwright and poet.

To be honest, I don't think I'm an actor. I'm a creator - or try to be.

When I was a young actor, in my first apartment, the first thing I bought was a Steinway piano. There was no bed at first. I slept on the floor.

When you have the cast, the sets, the lights, an opera takes on its own life. I'm not one of those directors who marches in with a set of plans.

If you live long enough, lots of nice things happen.

I never wanted to be defined by what I did for a living.

The earth belongs to the living, not to the dead.

We are all travellers in the wilderness of this world, and the best we can find in our travels is an honest friend.

Enormous slaughter may have been acceptable in previous centuries. It simply isn't acceptable anymore.

At an early age, I started my own paper route. Once I saw how you could service people and do a good job and get paid for it, I just wanted to be the best I could be in whatever I did.

Girlfriend and 100 Percent Fun were my two peeks, around '92 and '96. The reality is that the times I had the most media success, sold lots of records and played bigger shows, I had the least control of my own life.

Achievement is not always success, while reputed failure often is. It is honest endeavor, persistent effort to do the best possible under any and all circumstances.

There's a widespread cultural barrenness across art and political culture. But there are some pockets of resistance on the extreme margins, like the techno-savvy protest movements, small press, the creator-owned comics, that seem to be getting some signs of hope for the future.

Fresh air and exercise. Thats all you need to stay slim and feel better about life.

'The Bradshaws' is the appropriately inappropriate English title given to an enigma - some hundreds of thousands of mysterious rock art paintings scattered through the wilds of the Kimberley, an area larger than Germany in the remote, scarcely populated northwest of Australia.

Little minds try to solve the matters through violence and darkness great minds try to solve the matters through love and light

Correct spelling, indeed, is one of the arts that are far more esteemed by school ma'ams than by practical men, neck-deep in the heat and agony of the world.

It's sad that you don't see drivers being real people.

We were starting to lose track with Earth because fame and success brings you many things that you're not really prepared for or know how to deal with as a human being.

My faith has cost me a lot of money. Because I do creative roles, and I guess someone could think of me as, I could play bawdy, I could play rough around the edges. And so they think, 'Oh, she'll do this. It'll be so funny.' And I'm like, 'I'm not doing that.'

I want to evolve each season. I never want to be one of those brands where people know what they're going to see. I always want an element of surprise. One thing I never want to do is copy what anybody else is doing. I have a signature, and it's very important to me to stay true to that.

To play 18 years in Yankee Stadium is the best thing that could ever happen to a ballplayer.

In Seattle you haven't had enough coffee until you can thread a sewing machine while it's running.

You are my best friend as well as my lover and I do not know which side of you I enjoy the most. I treasure each side just as I have treasured our life together.

I do not use any set methods, not even The Method. The character after all is in the lines.

The more sympathy you give, the less you need.
