Do you really have to be the ice queen intellectual or the slut whore? Isn't there some way to be both?

Everyone has a responsibility towards this larger family of man, but especially if you're privileged, that increases your responsibility.

I think sometimes what happens is that all of this feeling out of control manifests itself in trying to control your body; whether it's an eating disorder or talking about getting your nose fixed, as if that's going to be the solution to all the pressure.

Making love is like hitting a baseball. You just gotta relax and concentrate.

I was told I had an overabundance of original sin.

Do you really have to be the ice queen intellectual or the slut whore? Isn't there some way to be both?

In the U.S., they just want to know who you're sleeping with.

Children reinvent your world for you.

Now, Tim has been really, really busy, and it's been my job now to kind of deal with everything. And trying to figure out how we balance that, logistically it's a nightmare. But these little jobs make it much easier.

It's still not easy to find roles that offer more complex images of women.

We stand a chance of getting a president who has probably killed more people before he gets into office than any president in the history of the United States.

I'm a native New Yorker. Everything to do with New York feels like my family.

I look forward to being older, when what you look like becomes less and less an issue and what you are is the point.

When you start to develop your powers of empathy and imagination, the whole world opens up to you.

The only thing I can talk about is just forgiving yourself, because I do not have everything together. And so I tell people: No, you should see my house, it's a mess.

I feel my family's needs are a priority. I'm not comfortable with the idea of serving the many and ignoring my family.

I try to live my life every day in the present, and try not to turn a blind eye to injustice and need.

To know that once you decide to look at life outside of the narrow limits of just your world and start to understand that you can make a difference in very simple ways - in volunteering and all the way up to bigger world problems.

It will be great when it's not such a big deal when a woman gets a good job.

It is a different world than when I was growing up, and you started to just kind of maintain at thirty-five and just hope you can hope it together. People are a lot more vital than I am and doing all kinds of things and leading really important movements.

When I tell people I'm a comedian they say, 'Oh, are you funny?' I say, 'No, it's not that kind of comedy.'

So I would hope they would develop some kind of habit that involves understanding that their life is so full they can afford to give in all kinds of ways to other people. I consider that to be baseline spirituality.

Just because I haven't yet had any project surgery, I'm not going to knock it, because I think women have the right to do whatever they want to their bodies that make them feel good about themselves.

If you walk down the street and see someone in a box, you have a choice. That person is either the other and you're fearful of them, or that person is an extension of your family. And that makes you at home in that world and not fearful. So really it's very self-serving.

Before our kids start coming home from Iraq in body bags and women and children start dying in Baghdad, I need to know, what did Iraq do to us?

I think I'm an actor because I have very strong imagination and empathy. I never studied acting, but those two qualities are exactly the qualities that make for an activist.

You guys ask really long questions. In the U.S., they just want to know who you're sleeping with.

The only time I've really been away from my kids to do work was doing Shall We Dance because they both were in camp and it was the first time in twenty years that I haven't been with my kids.

I'm tired of being labelled anti-American because I ask questions.

Children re-invent your world for you.

Sometimes what happens is that, when you micromanage actors and moments, it just doesn't quite live.

One night I looked down and my rosary beads were glowing. And I realized that I did not want to see the blessed Virgin - I was terrified.

If sexuality means saying yes to life, then you should be able to remain sexual until the day you die.

The Queen is the only person who can put on a tiara with one hand, while walking down stairs.

I'd like to be Queen Elizabeth.

I was growing up listening to Queen. Freddie Mercury threw those incredible melodies into his songs.

There's only one Elizabeth like me and that's the Queen.

I wasn't a cheerleader or the prom queen. I don't move through the world with a mirror in front of my face, and I've never been attracted to projects that had an emphasis on what I look like.

I was always a drama queen. I remember playing in the kitchen, trying to get my mom to think I was dead and call the police. When she didn't, I would cry. I was always theatrical. I don't think any of my relatives are surprised.

I love photo sessions. I'm alone, I'm the queen, everyone's taking care of me.

Once upon a time there was a Queen who had a son so ugly and so misshapen that it was long disputed whether he had human form. A fairy who was at his birth said, however, that he would be very amiable for all that, since he would have uncommon good sense.

Queen has taken the all of our time for last four or five years, you know.

The futures and ultimate fates of the characters in The Snow Queen are profoundly changed by choices made in their own minds or hearts, as well as choices unexpectedly forced on them by things beyond their control.

For a time I didn't want to answer any questions about Queen. I'd like to be viewed as something alive and relevant, not some fossil.

I didn't get along with Lindsay Lohan on 'Confessions Of A Teenage Drama Queen', but you have to consider that we were 16-year-old girls. I haven't seen Lindsay since then, but I imagine she's grown and become a different person. I know I have.

A beautiful woman can be painted as a totem only; not as a woman, but as a Madonna, a queen, a sphinx.

Rhyme, that enslaved queen, that supreme charm of our poetry, that creator of our meter.

I'll take being on Baywatch over being Prom Queen any day.

There's four biggies. There was Elizabeth I, George III, Victoria, and the current queen, who really dominated four eras.
