I live by a hill. I began walking it and then I began jogging it and then I began sprinting it.

People don't know this, but early in your career, you don't just glide on to The Tonight Show.

Really it was the first time in my life that I recognised that acting is, I'm just going to say it, I am an artist, I have to do this, I have to do this.

I'm not a huge fan of my work.

I have always loathed working out.

At one point, I had 14 pairs of golf shoes.

Sometimes, I feel that Manhattan in particular has gotten really tame and gentrified or something.

I don't think, there's no possible way for me, anyway, to play a character that I haven't found some sort of sublime compassion for and I related to Deborah on a way that almost, initially, almost in a way maybe someone in the audience might.

I dress up for awards, but only if somebody else is going to pay for the clothes. And shop for them, too!

Well, I think again, the worst part of it was just leading up to it, before we got on set, at least for me... dreading this idea that I was just going to suck and I really had strong feelings about that. I just didn't want to be that weak link.

Shopping turns me off.

Yes, I guess I am bi-coastal.

Acting doesn't feel good. It's not comfortable to feel all this stuff, it's not.

But I've never looked at myself as being particularly funny.

The one thing I think you must do is, as painful as it is as a parent, is listen.

I've been in a gym probably nine days of my life.

And I thought, you know, I have to say that maybe the whacked out mother is my new favorite role, but I don't want to just do it and become Nurse Ratchett.

I'm not quite ready for a no makeup movie.

I just mean it's very difficult for me to watch my work, in some ways, because I am critical of what I didn't get across or I thought I was making one point.

Well what I will tell you is for this movie, I got into probably the best shape of my life.

But I can tell you that the New York that I see now is not the New York that we grew up in. It's not 1973.

First of all, returning from motherhood, I was looking for something lighter, and I wasn't as much attracted to Kate as I was to the relationship between the two people.

If I swim in the ocean, I have a shark thought. Not a bad one, but just a little one.

I was desperate to go back to New York and when 9/11 happened, I feared moving to the bulls-eye and that was very hard because I have a lot of family there and I really had to question what I didn't like about this community.

It was just this interesting, my first, the first time you hear your child in any way criticise you. It's the worst review of your life and it's really relieving to find out that they don't know what they're saying.

I live by a hill. I began walking it and then I began jogging it and then I began sprinting it.

Jim Brooks is a very powerful director and it was a lot of intense work.

I don't mean to be presumptuous that men don't feel this, I don't mean this, but I found that when my child was born, my first child, it felt like my heart broke.

Well, I don't find glamour and clothing relevant.

It's kind of fun to be sexy.

I was one of the most brilliant liars as a child.

Whether I'm doing music or I'm walking down the street or I'm in a record store buying a record or I walk into a comic store and I'm buying comics or having a drink with my friends, it's the same me.

I just use my muscles as a conversation piece, like someone walking a cheetah down 42nd Street.

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

The men are walking. They are fifty feet apart, for dispersal. Their walk is slow, for they are dead weary, as you can tell even when looking at them from behind. Every line and sag of their bodies speaks their inhuman exhaustion.

You mean guys don't get injured in spring training? Guys get hurt walking down the street.

Because you remember Meredith was walking along the highway there and somebody shot him.

New York is a field of tireless and antagonistic interests undoubtedly fascinating but horribly unreal. Everybody is looking at everybody else a foolish crowd walking on mirrors.

My mother is a walking miracle.

I think that gravity sets into everything, including careers, but pendulums do swing and mountains do become valleys after a while... if you keep on walking.

Courteous treatment will make a customer a walking advertisement.

A person who can't pay gets another person who can't pay to guarantee that he can pay. Like a person with two wooden legs getting another person with two wooden legs to guarantee that he has got two natural legs. It don't make either of them able to do a walking-match.

History has proven that the PLO and its sectors suffered great damage when walking the way of harming Zionist interests in other countries around the world.

I feel like I'm walking on eggs and can't take another step.

My therapist would be so happy to know I'm doing all this walking. They've done a great job of putting me back together, haven't they?

Could the young but realize how soon they will become mere walking bundles of habits, they would give more heed to their conduct while in the plastic state.

All my writing is about the recognition that there is no single reality. But the beauty of it is that you nevertheless go on, walking towards utopia, which may not exist, on a bridge which might end before you reach the other side.

I don't mean that if you're a Christian, walking close to God, you will immediately gain celebrity. you may fail as an artist, because you may not have what the public want at that time, and you have to be prepared for that.

I have tremendous faith in theuniverse. I feel at home on this planet. Even though it's a very big world out there, I plan on walking right through the middle of it unharmed.
