We don't think of them as acting, but we take on certain characteristics based on where we function, and those relationships draw out aspects of who we are as people. And that's what acting is. Different parts draw out different parts of your nature.
People took part in the referendum because they were tired of the war. They are afraid of talking about it out loud, but they have shown exactly where they stand: Yes, we want peace, and we want to be a part of Russia.
When I see 'Sunshine,' I see a film that part of me is kind of very proud of and another part of me is very sad about, so it's a really complicated film for me. And I've never been really able to resolve all that in myself.
I remember that I used to get lots of books from the library, and 'Little Women' was one of them. And I used to just cross out the parts of it that really upset me because it's such a sad book in so many ways. I'd cross out the parts that upset me, a...
My English teacher always gave me scripts for plays, but I was into sports. My friend said there were small parts I could go up for, but the director gave me the part of Mozart, which was kind of the lead role. From then on I just loved it.
I was born in Israel, to Canadian parents. My father immigrated in 1948, part of a wave of young men and women who came as pioneers, to fight for a Jewish homeland. Their motive was in large part a reaction to the Holocaust, and their slogan was 'Nev...
How many actors have a shot at being a part of something that became a part of pop culture? It's been very rewarding. I'm not getting the 20 million bucks for the new movies, but at least I'm getting warmth and recognition from people wherever I go.
Doc: The time-traveling is just too dangerous. Better that I devote myself to study the other great mystery of the universe: women!
Biff Tannen: That's about as funny as a screen door on a battleship. Marty McFly: [under his breath] It's "screen door on a submarine," you dork.
Marty McFly: The answer's no, Griff. Griff Tannen: No? Marty McFly: Yeah, what are you deaf and stupid? I said "NO!" Griff Tannen: What's wrong, McFly. Chicken?
Young Doc: Nice talking to you. Maybe we'll bump into each other sometime again in the future. Older Doc: Or in the past.
Marty McFly: Nice shot Doc! You're not gonna believe this, we gotta go back to 1955. Doc: I don't believe it!
[after leaving Jennifer on her front porch swing in the Alternate 1985] Marty McFly: I don't remember bars bein' on these windows...
Marty McFly, Jr.: [to the TV] Art off. OK, I want channels 18, 24, 63, 109, 87 and the weather channel.
[after the duel between Buford Tannen and Marty, which ended with Buford landing in green horse dung] Seamus McFly: [chuckling to himself] That was good.
Doc: [after Doc wakes up from being passed out drunk from one shot of whiskey] The thing I really miss here is Tylenol.
[Marty and Doc finally say each other's phrases the opposite way] Marty McFly: Great Scott! Doc: I know, this is heavy.
For me, my films are not like my children. They are like my ex-wife. They gave me so much; I gave them so much; I loved them so much; we part ways, and it's OK, we part ways.
I was never part of that cliquey girl drama. Most of my friends were guys growing up, so I was never part of that whole toxic energy. It seemed like way too much hassle.
My perspective comes in part from being a New York black lady, in part from being an engineer. I know I'm smart and have opinions worth being heard.
