A lot of my joy this year has been to give away awards to young people, no matter of race, creed or color, because they were a terrific violinist or a terrific dancer.

I have married thriteen couples. I'm about to do a marriage next month.

I think you can really tell a good actor if you can put a camera on them and they can just talk and emote and react and you don't have to keep cutting away from them, because they are the language and the behavior. It's all a tour-de-force performance.

I have some great stories and I will get around to writing a book.

The only thing that I could think of to do was to be an actress.

My favorite actresses were Geraldine Paige, Anne Bancroft and Kim Stanley.

So, I think that Marilyn, what she gave the world, and in many ways Kennedy too, was that they had dreams and they didn't allow anybody to take away their dreams.

I think that souls agree to come in and do what they're going to do and then leave when they're going to leave. So there's nothing tragic when a soul leaves. I think it was already preordained.

I really think that women should be allowed to be more European, in this country.

My point is that, over the years, I've taught five thousand people acting and lately I have a lot of energy on these kids, having the same break I had as a high school girl.

With my ministry of light, part of what I do is work on the California Alliance For Arts Education.

Everyone should have a moment with Ron Howard in their life to give you faith in our industry.

In Europe you can be Sophia, you can be these older women who are considered very sexy.

In the case of Marilyn and John Kennedy, I think they did affect change.

My attitude is always one of sensuality, aggressive enthusiasm and a kind of outrageousness in my expression.

I think I'm more European in personality.

Probably what my comment meant was that I don't care about the circumstances if I can tell the truth.

So I have this ability, if I may say so, to spot talent.

I taught Sandra Bullock when no one knew who she was. I talked her out of quitting. I put her in a showcase.

When I was growing up watching Marilyn Monroe, I learned that you can be very beautiful, very glamorous and very vulnerable and not give up your soul just because you were a movie star.

I made a conscious decision back then that I would rather be the best actress who ever lived than the most famous one.

I'm on Governor Gray Davis' California Alliance Towards Education to bring the arts back to high schools.

I had art as a major, along with English, French and History. I had dance, modern dance. In English I was allowed to write my own poetry, which I eventually got published.

I had no idea that he was going to write that, but I've always believed that insecurity was what would keep you always in your innocence, no matter what the business did.

I suppose if I wanted to be the girl next door, I could have been. I think America is confused by someone who appears to be sexual and spiritual at the same time.

The early expression of my youth was filled with all the aspects of art.

In America it's live by the sword of freedom of expression and be will to die by it as well.

Love is the expression of one's values, the greatest reward you can earn for the moral qualities you have achieved in your character and person, the emotional price paid by one man for the joy he receives from the virtues of another.

The typewriting machine, when played with expression, is no more annoying than the piano when played by a sister or near relation.

I think they saw me as something like a deliverer, a way out. My means of expression, my music, was a way in which a lot of people wished they could express themselves and couldn't.

Simplicity is the glory of expression.

Nothing is so silly as the expression of a man who is being complimented.

Until fighting ends and there are conditions, which allow the free expression of will by the people, there can be no elections and elections are not held in these circumstances anywhere in the world.

The modes of expression of men of genius differ as much as their souls, and it is impossible to say that in some among them, drawing and color are better or worse than in others.

The eye of genius has always a plaintive expression, and its natural language is pathos.

It is in literature that the concrete outlook of humanity receives its expression.

Well-timed silence is the most commanding expression.
