We all wanted to copy Vivien Leigh.

The constant attention is what is so difficult.

I saw my parents as gods whose every wish must be obeyed or I would suffer the penalty of anguish and guilt.

I never knew motherhood could be so truly gratifying until I had Natasha.

I didn't know who the hell I was. I was whoever they wanted me to be.

I've been terrified of the water, and yet it seems I'm forced to go into in on every movie that I make.

For the first time I feel an inner emotional security. There is reality and dependability. My life revolves around Richard and the baby.

I'm just going to have to grow old, because I'm too terrified to have anything done.

From ages 10 to 12 or so, I barely remember anything.

My mother used to tell me, No matter what they ask you, always say yes. You can learn later.

The times that I have done something that I didn't respond to emotionally right away, it's generally not worked out too well.

I was so overprotected, I used to think I was as delicate as people said I was.

There are certain stars who are not actors. I don't want to be that type.

Stardom is only a by-product of acting. I don't think being a movie star is a good enough reason for existing.

Warren and I are friends, but working with him had been difficult.

Not even analysis, by itself, can transform you. You must still do the changing yourself.

I couldn't even go to the bathroom alone. My mother or a social worker always went with me.

I was so young, and making movies, going to the studio every morning at dawn was magic.

I thought it was a wonderful line - right on the cutting room floor.

I'm not very bright about money. I'm not domestic either. If I don't learn how to cook, maybe I won't have to.

When I get married it will be for keeps.

If I didn't believe in what I'm doing, I'd rather go to work in a dime store.

The only time a woman really succeeds in changing a man is when he is a baby.

At night, when the sky is full of stars and the sea is still you get the wonderful sensation that you are floating in space.

We were descended from royalty.

I didn't like children. I didn't think of myself as a child. I didn't like any of the things other children were interested in.

Today's films are so technological that an actor becomes starved for roles that deal with human relationships.

Sometimes when I visit my sister and her two children, I wonder if she missed a lot by getting married. Right now, nothing could be further from my mind than getting married.

My friends seem much more excited about my doing Anastasia than Brainstorm... and to tell you the truth, I feel the same way.

I never saw film stars at home. We had no maid, no cook, no swimming pool.

Almost every girl falls in love with the wrong man, I suppose it's part of growing up.

A lot changed when I had Natasha. I'm a survivor.

At night when the sky is full of stars and the sea is still you get the wonderful sensation that you are floating in space.

The Marianne Vos Route goes through the seven villages of Aalburg, where I grew up, and celebrates my World and Olympic titles with a number of benches along the route, where you can stop and rest your legs. You'll see the white windmill in Meeuwen and, in Babylonienbroek, a statue of the silver bike I rode to celebrate my Olympic track win.

All men are created equal.

It's a funny thing. You sort of never figure it out with acting. You're always learning.

I never wanted fame.

I'm a kid from Boston.

I have a husband, and babysitters; I find it hard. I find it amazing how single moms do it.

Why trip off some random person in Idaho that doesn't feel my vibe? Like, no thank you. Stay in your life; I'll stay in mine.

Let it ever be remembered that genuine faith in Christ will ever be productive of good works; for this faith worketh by love, as the apostle says, and love to God always produces obedience to his holy laws.

People always say 'You do racial comedy.' And I don't, exactly. I do cultural comedy. Because race and culture are two different things. There's black people from America and then there's black people from Africa. Racially, they're the same; culturally, they're extremely different.

I realize that things happen for a reason.

Government does not create wealth. The major role for the government is to create an environment where people take risks to expand the job rate in the United States.

I went through life like an idiot for a great deal of the time, saying there's nothing I would change. That was a very arrogant thing to say. There's a lot I would change. There are people I would have steered clear of.

Nothing is a waste of time if you use the experience wisely.

I used to go around looking as frumpy as possible because it was inconceivable you could be attractive as well as be smart. It wasn't until I started being myself, the way I like to turn out to meet people that I started to get any work.

Scripts didn't exist during my time in Bollywood, or, at least, I was never given one. I don't want to act at all and am happy in my cave.
