I'm a real 'go, go' person... I'd make myself crazy by pushing too hard. It's important to pull pack the reins a little bit and get in touch with what's inside.

I don't believe in predestination, even though I was raised a Presbyterian.

I like men to be men and I like them to care about me and to take care of me. I'm willing to let them do that.

I think, head up and shoulders back. Not only does it make you look taller and thinner but it gives you confidence and boosts your self-esteem.

I've helped people get rid of headaches by placing my hand on their forehead, and backaches by placing my hand on their back. It's a powerful example of love that really works.

If you don't quit, and don't cheat, and don't run home when trouble arrives, you can only win.

Did you know that, if you visualise, you can actually hug on the phone?

If it's not some daring, dangerous affair, it's just not interesting, or so it seems. So, here you have two people - a famous American iconic couple - who actually like each other sexually, in marriage. Imagine.

Not everyone can be trusted. I think we all have to be very selective about the people we trust.

I'm not perfect, but I'd like to be perfect. I'm working on it.

I don't get bothered about statistics. If somebody had pointed out to me the odds of my being a working actress getting paid for what she does, I probably would have quit early in the game.

There was always a feeling for me that it would work. That's what keeps me going. You go in with a positive attitude and stay there, and that's a big part of what does make it work.

Its just a crime that people dont take the time and make the effort to have a conversation if its bothering them that much.

I attribute my success to this: I never gave or took any excuse.

You gotta bear in mind, the youth - and this is just in Britain alone - have nowhere to go in the evenings. They've closed all the social centers. There's not even a patch of grass to kick a ball on.

If 2,000 Tea Party activists descended on Wall Street, you would probably have an equal number of reporters there covering them.

I was as eager a writer as I was a reader.

Pain makes man think. Thought makes man wise. Wisdom makes life endurable.

It's always been a dream of mine to be in a Woody Allen comedy.

There's a conflict between what's in your mind and what's in your body.

If you are a plumber, you can work on a shed, or you can work on a mansion. It's just scale.

At 23 it was all about acting. Today it's getting my kids to school, making sure that they've done their homework. I'm in my fifties, and I'm turning into a square.

With directors, some have a kind of in-built ability to just know how to work with actors and get the best out of actors, and some don't have a clue about acting. I think it'd be a good idea if directors put themselves in front of the camera, or even went on a six-week drama course, just to know a little bit about what that feels like.

There's a series of children's books called A Series of Unfortunate Events, which is like an incredibly dark version of Roald Dahl. I hope to start directing it.

I think so much of young adult literature sort of gets ghettoized - the title 'young adult' makes people immediately discount it. And just like with books that get written for adults, there is plenty of young adult literature that is bad. But there is also plenty of young adult literature that is brilliant.

The best I can do is, it's like a 'ding!' You're writing, and then something starts falling into place, and you hear or feel a ding. And it just feels - it's going to be okay.

When I'm working on a novel of my own, I try to read mostly nonfiction, although sometimes I break down and peek at something else.

If my gravy train stops at SAG, honey, it's been a great ride.

When it comes to hockey, it's been in my blood since I was 3 or 4 years old. I love coaching the kids, especially at that level.

Yes, I do agree we need health care reform; however, this bill badly misses the mark. Congress can and must do better for the American people.

After the fall of dictator Nicolae Ceausescu, Romanians were crazed with happiness. People who never met each other before hugged each other in the streets - convinced that tomorrow things would look different. Then came the many disappointments.

The battle was first waged over the right of the Negro to be classed as a human being with a soul; later, as to whether he had sufficient intellect to master even the rudiments of learning; and today it is being fought out over his social recognition.

I have the same bedroom I've always had. It's clean and tidy when I get home, and after two or three days it gets messy and my mother nags me.

I started doing '30 Rock' and started writing 'Mystery Team' at the beginning of that. While I was doing 'Mystery Team,' I started practicing stand-up. While I was doing stand up, I got 'Community.' It's like I planted trees six years ago, and now they have fruit.

I'll often use my real stuff in my writing because it comes across as more authentic.

I can find the fun in most situations.

Regarding the Panama Canal Treaty negotiations, they will find us standing up or dead, but never on our knees; NEVER!
