I don't flirt and I don't play the people that I'm meeting with.

It's not sometimes realistic to think that something magical can happen, but I think I look for the magic.

I don't think I could ever do a network sitcom because the humor is often based on some trite circumstance. I don't want to be a part of a show where it's mostly about coming up with the jokes.

Twin Peaks was special because it was so groundbreaking. In the early '90s it really changed television a lot. A bunch of weird shows, like Northern Exposure, came on after that.

It's completely different to work with a woman that is my age, maybe younger.

We all have sadness in our life and things that we can draw upon.

I loved working on Of Mice and Men. It was a wonderful group of people. John Malkovich is to me one of the best actors around right now-and a lot of fun to work with.

In a perfect world, I could be doing some bigger films and balance that with some independent films because they seem to be the most challenging and unique.

Now I know why guys like to hug girls. You guys just want to cop a feel. I can't believe that I've fallen for it all these years!

I really loved Twin Peaks. When I saw the two-hour pilot, they screened it in the big theatre. I said, I don't know what is going to happen. I'm in this and I don't understand it. This is never going to sell. Who's going to watch this thing?

Jessica Lange in Frances... was dramatic and passionate and one of the strongest performances I've seen a woman do.

The difference between working with a man and a woman... is immense.

You say a line and you wait for them to laugh, then you say another line and you wait... It felt weird to me. But it's interesting and the energy is almost like theatre, I suppose, with all the people there.

At the very least, my tastes are out of the ordinary.

I've always been drawn to Marilyn Monroe, but certain aspects of her story may be too sad to tell.

My mother's been married many, many times and grew up believing in love like that. It's remarkable.

I'm contemplating moving to London for a period of time. I've been in Los Angeles for 15 years and I'm really tired of it. I'm continually uninspired by what's being sent to me. Even by huge films that they're doing there. They're just awful.

I don't want my body to look like a man's. I just want to tone my body.

I don't flirt and I don't play the people that I'm meeting with.

I love to dance. But I don't like being up in front of tons of people. I didn't have the desire to be performing in front of a lot of people. So it wasn't something I ever seriously considered.

Bleaching my hair for Two Moon Junction... my hair was fried and I looked like an idiot.

I can sing, but my voice is untrained. I'd like to do a musical someday.

Harrison Ford... I love him. He's a man's man.

I think there's an anxiety in life where we automatically tend to look to the next thing or we're complaining about the past. Worrying is not going to make it happen or not happen.

Generally, Hollywood makes the same stories over and over. I've never wanted to do the same thing twice. If a script doesn't surprise me in some way, I simply can't commit to the project.

I say what I feel. I try to be tactful, but I can't not say what I feel. I have a really big problem with that.

There is something at work that's bigger than us. It's about having a trust in life and being at peace that things are happening the way they should. You do what you do as well as you can do it, and then you don't worry or agonize about the outcome.

When I read the script, I was like, Hello, woman in a box. I had to explore that to the end.

Women do feel like they're in a box. Society, Hollywood, some men-they want to wrap women up in a neat little package.

I was a brat. It was crazy, I was very picky. In other words, I didn't take advantage of what was happening.

I was told once that I didn't play the Hollywood game, and that's why I wasn't a big star. What they meant when was that I don't go to parties, and when I go to an audition and I don't like the script, they know it.

I think theres an anxiety in life where we automatically tend to look to the next thing or were complaining about the past. Worrying is not going to make it happen or not happen.

The exercises of our meeting are to be simple and devoid of all ceremonial and formalism.

While we have made great progress in increasing funding for veterans' benefits, we still have a long way to go in fully meeting the promise to our veterans.

Slovakia's joining the OECD in 1999 is totally dependent on meeting economic reforms required such as transparency and legislation that permits fair and open conduct of trade and business.

That music and the lyrical aspects of Razorblade Romance is so personal to me that, now with me being grown up a bit and meeting new people and doing new things, it makes me look at the same things I was writing about back in the day through a different colored lens.

You should never meet your heroes. Paul Newman... I was so excited about meeting him, but he turned up in shell suit bottoms, slippers, and a jumper. He was just so worn out and old, he wanted to go home.

From each one of them rose separate columns of smoke, meeting in a pall overhead, and through the smoke came stabbing flashes of fire as German shells burst with thudding shocks of sound. This was the front line of battle.

Meeting Franklin Roosevelt was like opening your first bottle of champagne; knowing him was like drinking it.

Now about those ghosts. I'm sure they're here and I'm not half so alarmed at meeting up with any of them as I am at having to meet the live nuts I have to see every day.

I was up until all hours of the night, listening to stories, meeting great old comedians.

I've spent a lot of time researching the subject and government deception. So to be involved in Star Trek is perfect for me. I enjoy meeting the fans and discussing my interests with them.

An association of men who will not quarrel with one another is a thing which has never yet existed, from the greatest confederacy of nations down to a town meeting or a vestry.

The green-light meeting, when I first started at Paramount, would consist of maybe three or four of us in a room. Perhaps two or three of us would have read the script under discussion.

I want to thank all of the fans and media who made playing in the NFL such a wonderful experience. I have had the pleasure of meeting many of them.

So you get two good hours on the field about every day, you get about an hour and a half in the meeting room and that's pretty much all you need to thoroughly coach your team.

Since the turn of the 20th century, members of the Jewish community in Upper East Tennessee and Southwest Virginia have been meeting together to celebrate and worship.

I wonder how many people would have thought at the end of World War II that the capitalist system would be one that was meeting the challenges and making things better for people as we approach the 21st century.

It's exciting to see a kid at a rehearsal meeting with someone who seems like such an icon.
