My mom has a rare talent for being able to open up the refrigerator, and with the peas, the leftover eggs, the cream, the spinach, the cheese, and a little rice, she can just whip up incredible risotto.
I owe everything to my mom. She definitely got me to where I'm at today. Without her I wouldn't be able to do the things that I do. She and I are very close.
The fact that I'm very close with my past relationships is something I pride myself on. My mom is still close to her first husband. It's nice to be able to enjoy someone in a different form.
I never thought, in my lifetime, that you'd be able to watch movies, read books and listen to music from a phone, but I guess the technology of tomorrow is here today.
You know, I was a huge fan of comedy and movies and TV growing up, and I was able to memorize and mimic a lot of things, not realizing that that meant I probably wanted to be an actor.
From what I've been able to determine, many of our big stars are addicted to tobacco. They want to smoke in movies for the same reason I smoked as I wrote, which is that they think their performance is going to be better.
I'm really very lucky. I get to do an awful lot. I've been able to make an incredibly wide range of movies and work with an incredible array of people.
Well, I haven't really been able to shoot in California for a while. Little movies yeah, but the big movies we can't shoot there. It's just a shame that Arnold Schwarzenegger can't deliver on this level.
The biggest mistakes I made in my career were when I said, 'If I do this movie, I'll be able to do a couple more movies.' Those are the times I really got ugly.
I felt that as long as we were being honest, and that we didn't bend the truth to accomplish another goal, to be entertaining or to be a happy ending, I was confident that we'd be able to tell the story the way it happened.
I have to say I've been lucky in that way in that I've been able to go from different films and different genres with different challenges.
If I'm going to act in someone's movie, I want the movie to be interesting and be able to get a couple of solid doubles.
I have been acting for 32 years now and I feel so lucky to be able to have done exactly what I wanted to do.
Those who divorce aren't necessarily the most unhappy, just those neatly able to believe their misery is caused by one other person.
Being a comfortable public speaker, which involves easily being able to go off-script, strongly signals competence.
Well, first of all, no professor should be able to say, I refuse to defend my position. I refuse to debate my position.
But the main things about a man are his eyes and his feet. He should be able to see the world and go after it.
I'm old enough to know that a red carpet's just a rug, and I've been able to enjoy the pageantry without letting it go to my head.
You know, once somebody knows you can sing Elphaba, it's like being able to sing Evita - people shut up about it already.
It feels so weird to be able to just kind of buy things when I want them or need them.
Thanks to words, we have been able to rise above the brutes; and thanks to words, we have often sunk to the level of the demons.
