You put yourself on the line as a performer, and when people reject you, it's a personal rejection.

I lost agents and managers because I turned down big movies that were smutty.

Once you sell yourself, it's over. You've got nothing left.

I've played killers, crazies, and really bad people.

The only time in my career prior to that I played an evil character was in 'The Twilight Zone'.

Hollywood people want to build you up and make you famous only to knock you off you're the pedestal they built for you.

I feel bad about a lot of the movies I see that teach kids that if they do bad, they'll win.

I was looked at as weird, odd, not fitting in with the Hollywood crowd.

You put yourself on the line as a performer, and when people reject you, it's a personal rejection.

My mother had been a country and western singer but when she moved out to Hollywood found it very difficult to get work so when I was born they put me into dance classes and singing classes as soon as I could walk actually.

The highest grossing films have great, moral messages - not dirty, base themes, so we're trying to get producers to make more of the uplifting movies.

I played a real nasty little girl but most of the roles I had up until then were very sweet and very nice.

People are hungry for messages of hope and life.

You've got to hang on to who you are, what you are. Don't let anyone take it from you.

I thought I would keep the first name Susan and change the last name but I picked up this book and as I opened it the lead character in it was called Morgan Brittany.

I had no real education because I was in and out of schools so I decided that I would completely change my look, change my image, change my name and move to New York.

Drugs won't enhance your performance.

Hollywood has an obligation to watch what they put out there. Kids do imitate what they see - good or bad.

Everything is a rejection of you, not your product, or your script, or a cosmetic. It's you.

I can meet any producer in Hollywood and look them in the eye, knowing I didn't sleep with them, or do drugs with them.

You have to work in this business on your own terms. Don't sell out for money, fame, or notoriety.

Well, our children do know what this industry is about, but they have a good grip on who they are.

Most child actors go through that. Unless you can transition into an adult star, your career is over.

At the time I was growing up in the business I was very well established within the industry as a child actor and as I grew up and turned into a teenager there was less and less work.

There is no executive order; there is no law that can require the American people to form a national community. This we must do as individuals and if we do it as individuals, there is no President of the United States who can veto that decision.

Young people discovering their sexuality must know they walk with a strong tradition and that they are not alone. They have a right to information without being pressured.

Many are needed to plant and water what has been planted now that the faith has spread so far and there are so many people... No matter who plants or waters, God gives no harvest unless what is planted is the faith of Peter and unless he agrees to his teachings.

DJs and people in the street know what they like.

People who keep stiff upper lips find that it's damn hard to smile.

Some people are directors and I think they should stay behind the camera.

We dominated Survivor - there is no way we would not dominate that, too. I can see it already, us making deals with people. That's the best part, and with the Race, it would be even more fun because I've got a lot of tricks up my sleeve.

I'm getting a wider circle of fans now. More women, more middle class people.

We must support initiatives that provide clear, concrete measures and milestones that our troops need for defeating the insurgency, building up Iraqi security forces, and handing over Iraq to the Iraqi people.

Yeah, that's what kind of, we get the idea a little bit yeah, because other people from different countries also try as hard as they can to get a medal or a gold medal in the Olympic Games. And you know, if they can work hard, we can work hard as well.

Well concerning the world records that I did, I think it helps a lot to me, yeah. I think it's a very individual thing because I heard some people say, like, oh I don't like it at all. But I definitely, for me it really made a big difference.

My goal is, of course, for this show to do well, and I would love it if people liked it.

I hate wasting people's time.

Religions get lost as people do.

I also do not like the idea of soft money, these issue ads - people don't know where the money is coming from, millions and millions of dollars outside of the control of a candidate - there's no accountability.

The people of England are the most enthusiastic in the world.

The avantgarde are people who don't exactly know where they want to go, but are the first to get there.

My theory is if you have a religion, it's a good one. Because some people don't have any at all.

It's sometimes shocking to find out what people really believe in.

That's Tommy, this great producer who comes in contact with people and must have a mental library of personnel who are great for this and great for that, and he brought this whole group of musicians to the project that I'd never worked with before.

Rock and rollers can get you the youth buzz, and younger people are fanatical readers.

Sitting at home the way I do, I'd just love the hear from people. It'd be a great help in passing the time.

I guess I strike people as very serious, or very intense.

My parents were amazing people who had no business being together - and they knew it.

Some people don't like competition because it makes them work harder, better.
