A healthy outside starts from the inside.

While there's time left, I want to do different kinds of things.

Charge forward with hope and get the best medical advice you can. Talk to your friends, neighbors, family, and together you attack it. We can't always control what happens to us, but we can always control how we react to it.

I know it sounds hokey but I think, ultimately, on television you can't hide who you are.

Series work is just grueling.

There was an inquiry just last week about the new Bette Midler show, and I just didn't want to do that.

I'm not ready for another series. I have fun doing other kinds of things.

A healthy outside starts from the inside.

I've cheated myself: there are other things I could have done to fill out the bouquet of my career.

For me, being comfortable is the best way to express my personality. Some days I like to be chill and wear my Stan Smiths with a cool little jacket, a blouse, and some lipstick for night, and that's it.

Maybe I was born to be a merchant, maybe it was fate. I don't know about that. But I know this for sure: I loved retail from the very beginning.

I didn't go into politics out of concern for the Palestinians but out of concern for Israel.

The fidelity question is difficult for me. Society has made us believe we're supposed to be monogamous when we're not killer whales, or whatever the monogamous species is.

For me, the greatest good fortune I have being raised by actors is I came in knowing that a career is the ebb and flow.

Stage is the ultimate test; I like watching established screen actors on stage to see if they can really do it. But it's great to have a healthy mixture of the two. Film is so technical: there's something very particular about the relationship between you and the camera. It took a long time for me to get good on film.

Making the beginning is one third of the work.

I've chosen all my films very carefully. I know that I've had better parts in some films than in others. But the films I do are the ones I want to see when I read the screenplays. I guess you can basically say that I've just done things I loved when I read them.

Mobs are soulless things that feed on fear and momentum and prejudice.

Mike and Heather and I rapped once or twice in New York and then we all wound up on a train together on the way out to Maryland. I think it was about a month and a half from the time we got cast until the time we shot the thing.

I think, at the end of the day, acting and activism are both about empathy. You're trying to get people to see other people as real and human. And to care.

Dont waste a minute not being happy. If one window closes run to the next window. Or break down a door.

To anyone that ever told you you're no good... They're no better.

Comedy can always be taken the wrong way. If I do a bit that is meant to diffuse racism or sexism, I'm not going to avoid it on the chance that a small portion of the audience might take it the wrong way.

The goal of a life purpose is not what you will create, but what it will make you into for creating it.

It's about mass immigration at a time when 21% of young people can't find work. It's about giving £50 million a day to the EU when the public finances are under great strain.

Everyone told me to pass on 'Speed' because it was a 'bus movie.'

My artwork gets stolen all the time; it's ridiculous.

It's not the physical location of birth that defines citizenship, but whether your parents are citizens, and the express or implied consent to jurisdiction of the sovereign.

No matter how you choose to act, that is the person you will become.

You don't play triathlon. You play soccer; it's fun. You play baseball. Triathlon is work that can leave you crumpled in a heap, puking by the roadside. It's the physical brutality of climbing Mount Everest without the great view from the top of the world. What kind of person keeps coming back for more of that?

Theology is anthropology.

It's shameful to admit, but it's been a bit of a lifelong affair, and I do now feel I'm as good as it gets. I'm honourable, kind, friendly, warm, intelligent, generous, and I've got a good sense of humour.

You only live once. You don't want your tombstone to read: 'Played it Safe.'
