Reactions to the White Paper 1939

In fact I think now we've reached a point now, where the powers that be really have sort of vested interest in all of us being stoned out as much as possible all the time so we don't know what's going on, and we don't care.

I enjoy talking about politics a great deal.

I couldn't go to college, so I went to the library three days a week for 10 years.

If you do not like a certain behavior in others, look within yourself to find the roots of what discomforts you.

Cut quarrels out of literature, and you will have very little history or drama or fiction or epic poetry left.

When I read something, I picture that scene in that detail. That becomes very similar to composing a photo in real life.

There are no great people. There are only great topics.

Never give up on your dream... because you never know what the Lord can bless you with.

Not many people were speaking truth to power in the '80s. I had a really good time doing it - I found it gratifying. It was a joy to have an opportunity to say what you believed. It's challenging to do it in fiction, but I liked writing the novels. I liked writing 'Democracy' particularly.

If a role has been too one-dimensional, I have turned it down.

My mum was a nurse, and her passion was geriatric care. I used to love listening to the old people's stories in her nursing home and picturing myself in their place. They'd say, 'I went to school in a horse and cart,' and I'd just think 'Wow!' I'd picture myself in their place - acting was a natural progression.

My advice today, to established acts and new-coming acts, is the same advice I'd give to myself: pause for a minute, and really think about 'What is your goal? Where do you see yourself?'

I am always the first to say that fame and entertainment is one of the best and easiest occupations to ever have, but one must know how to navigate through the matrix or you may find yourself in a very dark hole.

We in the West should stand by our core principles.

How full of trifles everything is! It is only one's thoughts that fill a room with something more than furniture.

I love being onstage, whether it's dancing or acting - there's just something about being onstage.

No amount of therapy will take care of a chemical imbalance of the brain.

George Clooney is exactly what you would expect. He's annoyingly good looking, insanely funny, and super smart. So you just feel really inferior around him all the time. You end up feeling really bad about yourself, but you walk away feeling really great about George Clooney.

I tend to be hypercritical of my performances. That's why I hate watching them with people I know.

God will have a humble people. Either we can choose to be humble, or we can be compelled to be humble.

A true genius admits that he/she knows nothing.

People who relieve others of their money with guns are called robbers. It does not alter the immorality of the act when the income transfer is carried out by government.

For many years, I picked the wrong men, or they picked me. I think if you don't feel attractive or worth something as a woman, you attract men who don't really look after you. That's what happened to me, but I realise that those relationships were like a journey, helping me to learn something about myself.

I want the world to understand that a Palestinian state means no Israeli state. That's the equation.
