Burning desire to be or do something gives us staying power - a reason to get up every morning or to pick ourselves up and start in again after a disappointment.
The thing with me is, if I wake up one morning and I'm not happy working as an actress, I'll stop. It's not something I have to do. It's not a vocation.
I was up late last night yapping about the elections on CNN and up early this morning doing the same thing in my daughter's kindergarten class.
Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.
Men become much more attractive when they start looking older. But it doesn't do much for women, though we do have an advantage: make-up.
Women apparently are quite drawn to men who have differences rather than similarities in their histocompatibility system. They pick it up by smell, and they can pick it up from kissing.
The white men of the South had better make up their minds that the blacks will remain in the South just as long as corn will tassel and cotton will bloom into whiteness.
The Beatles were a group made up of four very complex men, and my small hand could not have broken these men up.
I was thinking that when I have children, that I should always dress as a character for them, so they think their mom is Alice in Wonderland or Cinderella. It would be totally messed up!
My mom has always been my support system. She taught me to never give up and to keep pursuing my passions no matter what.
My mom, you know, took off when I was about 6. What ended up happening is I ended up being with my grandparents.
I've sold everything from fashion, make-up, couture magazines, radio, reality television, movies. There isn't a thing I haven't sold, including Tampax. You name it.
I was a huge Muppet fan growing up. I want to bring it back to the early '80s Muppet movies, when the scripts could have been performed by humans.
I passed up a lot of work 'cause a lot of movies that may be out there right now I passed em up because there may have been a lot of cussin' in 'em.
My mother loved Gene Wilder when I was growing up, so I used to watch all his movies with her. I just adore him.
Most of the movies I saw growing up were viewed as totally disposable, fine for quick consumption, but they have survived 50 years and are still growing.
Growing up, I always loved Disney movies, but the first movie I remember seeing is 'Sleepers,' so I wasn't really taken to children's movies.
Susan Vance: [to David] You know why you're following me? You're a fixation.
Bender: You load up, you party. Brian Johnson: Uhh, no, actually, we dress up.
Meg Swan: This? This is a fish. This is a fish! You know what? Just shut up.
When I was growing up, I never heard the word 'racism.' It was only in Paris I encountered that.
