I don't know that I've ever been completely comfortable with anything.

I'm pretty instinctive. I'm a quick learner.

I got to meet Mark Hamill. He signed some Star Wars posters for us. I saw the fight scenes he had. He was really into making fun of himself and Star Wars.

I want to get away from the high school thing and do other types of roles.

Be yourself, fill your life with good people, and don't get a big head. It can all be gone tomorrow.

I'm not doing any more nudity.

I don't know that I've ever been completely comfortable with anything.

I am very driven. I work really hard, whether it's acting or my charity or even poker. When I focus on something I give it my all.

I wouldn't call him a slave. I don't whip him when he does something wrong. Just when he does something good.

I wasn't sure how my dad would react. There was an agent sitting behind them and he told me he was embarrassed to watch the scenes. My parents have always been very open. They trust my decisions.

Animals mean everything to me. We have to be their voice and protectors.

We don't live in a world that's black and white.

I want to do a little bit of everything. I want to play a good, strong female character.

Animals have always been a passion of mine, being able to help them because they can't help themselves, and I think that people have treated them so badly over the years and it's just not fair. It's something I feel like I can help make a difference.

I don't think I really do go shopping. Somehow clothes just kind of end up in my closet. I do not like shopping; I'm not into it.

I hope to be known as a chameleon actress, as someone who can play any part out there, and someone who can transform herself into any kind of character there is.

I think compassion is an important quality in people in general.

I watch every reality show out there.

I'm a TV junkie.

I'm a big country fan.

I'm super, super casual. I like boxer shorts or jeans or tank tops, tennis shoes and flip flops. That's about it for me.

When I was modeling, I worked out every day or other day.

Yoga is the perfect way to de-stress and work out at the same time.

I don't understand the rewarding of behavior that is less than classy. I don't get it.

Writers speak stench.

Every television show you go on is a choice.

The situation right after the fight wasn't too good; I believe I'm still the only champion in the world who never received the belt inside the ring once you've won the title. I held that against the English fans for a long time but I felt that also motivated me.

The richness of Africa, culturally, is vast. That's the challenge that we have to face, because most of the time, people in the western world, their attention span is really narrow.

Fortune truly helps those who are of good judgment.

I've never had a haircut where I've gone to a hair cutting place and they gave me an incorrect haircut. So I've been pretty lucky.

Does anyone really go into nursing intending to be apathetic, cold and removed from suffering? I find that very difficult to believe.

Inside yourself or outside, you never have to change what you see, only the way you see it that is what you compare it to;- something better and you'll feel worse; something worse and you'll feel better.

Truly I never thought of myself as writing legal thrillers, and I still don't think I do. I write stories about women.

I think at the end of the day, the real sick man of Europe is liable to turn out to be France, not Greece, not Portugal, not Spain, not Italy. The reason is France is very uncompetitive to begin with on a global scale, and the measures that Hollande has been putting in have been very, very negative from the point of view of economic growth.

The fact that I lost my son permeates my being.

Great wine is always enhanced by great food.

I never thought I would get to have my own action figure.

Artificial intelligence will reach human levels by around 2029. Follow that out further to, say, 2045, we will have multiplied the intelligence, the human biological machine intelligence of our civilization a billion-fold.

When you look at every studio in the '20s or '30s, from Louis B. Mayer to Jack Warner, you see people who started with one plan and quickly shifted gears to adapt to a changing world. One of my favorite stories is that Walt Disney mortgaged his house to make 'Snow White.' He saw there was a real opportunity to change the world.

Especially during the hot weather, we have been so greatly hampered by infections despite our utmost care, and since we have lost so many dogs, I strongly desire more help to keep the place clean and gloves and gowns and a thorough fitting up of our operating room.

Some people are really good at maneuvering their careers and images and I'm not one of those people.
