I grew up in Colorado - went back there, tried to heal myself and grow and learn, then got a call that David Lynch wanted me to fly back to Seattle so he could meet me for Twin Peaks.

I remembered their songs but I had never owned a Beatles album.

Apparently I'm the most naked that anyone's been on TNT. My poor mother. I'm ready to run away.

You always hear actresses talk about how unromantic it is to act a love scene or a sex scene - which it is. You're doing it with all these lights on and cameras flying around and people on the set.

It's awkward: Here you are with most of your clothes off in bed with this person who you've really just met. You're strangers to each other's bodies and you're coming together for the first time in front of all these people.

Every actress has a line she'll draw, where she'll say, This I will do and this I won't. For me, everything has to be important to the story and the director has to be able to tell me why.

And in the middle of one of those scenes, I suddenly felt my heart just open: it was overwhelming, to the point where I got teary-eyed. Never would I have thought anything like that could happen in a love scene.

It's still difficult for me to watch my work.

I highly recommend tantric sex workshops.

I just found out last week - my sister told me - that my father had some Beatles records. So I must have heard them quite a bit, but it never registered, really. Now I listen to them with new ears.

But I'm attracted to roles where I get to really go in and explore a character.

My biggest fear in life is fear.

I just turned 30 so I got really introspective as you do, questioning my life. And when I stopped and sort of looked back at the past decade, I realized I had done more work than I thought I had done.

The more we deny that we have a dark side, the more power it has over us.

I would love to play a nun. I used to want to be one when I was a kid.

If something scares me, then I have to do it.

Animals weren't put on this earth to entertain us.

I'm fascinated with all kinds of religion, but I'm not committed to any specific one.

I've always had a fascination with vampires. It's not that I'm exactly fascinated with the dark side. It's the human struggle with it. How we deal with those two aspects of who we are. We all have those elements.

If something scares me, then I have to do it. My biggest fear in life is fear.

It's almost as if we each have a vampire inside us. Controlling that beast, that dark side, is what fascinates me.

Being a parent is amazing.

And then you have the classical ballerinas, they're like sopranos. Applied to the dance.

One is that that's the way we started and we thought there would be more value and less confusion if the business model was just based on delivering news that's of value to Web sites.

I have a lot of really good handlers.

Most people would assume my business success, and the wealth that comes with it, have brought me happiness. But I know I am successful, wealthy, and connected because I am happy.

Im so tired. I dont know if I can ever outrun how I used to be.

I like being a woman, but I'm a little rough around the edges. I've been bungee jumping twice, but I was scared.

My Catholic faith is my life. Any artist, if he is to be faithful to how he perceives the world and to the nature of his creative gifts, cannot divorce the two. To create is to love. To love is to create.

If you look at all aspects of all sports, everything comes down to basics and fundamentals.

Life would have been absolutely empty without imagination.

Los Angeles is like a beauty parlor at the end of the universe.

Throughout my pictures I employ a lighting which is not naturalistic.

You can't instruct an audience to laugh, but what you can do is read well and understand the spirit and subtleties, if there are any, in the dialogue.

In our seeking for economic and political progress, we all go up - or else we all go down.

Children show me in their playful smiles the divine in everyone. This simple goodness shines straight from their hearts and only asks to be lived.

I tried all kinds of sports when I was a kid, like soccer and tennis and golf, and, in fact, started skating to be able to play hockey.

I am aware that one should always make room for renewal in politics. A democracy is the healthier for the turnover of the depth of talent there is in its community.

We can always choose to perceive things differently. You can focus on what's wrong in your life, or you can focus on what's right.

I grew up all over the place, but the majority of my years were spent in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Adelaide is becoming a hub for higher education.

I made the decision when I came to Seagram that it had to be OK that my public persona would be bad. It's the downside of a family business: anything good is because I'm somebody's son; otherwise, I'm a schmuck.

Grandchildren are loving reminders of what were really here for.

I will encourage my kids in everything that life has to offer.

But love, like the sun that it is, sets afire and melts everything. what greed and privilege to build up over whole centuries the indignation of a pious spirit, with its natural following of oppressed souls, will cast down with a single shove.
