I think the driving thing was curiosity about the universe. That fascinated me. I didn't think anything about being famous or anything like that, I was just interested in the concepts involved.
I would call myself a Gnostic. Which means, I'm interested in pursuing and understanding the spiritual nature of things. A Gnostic is somebody seeking knowledge of that aspect of reality.
I'm an only child, and I think one of the sweet things about that is that my parents are really interested in every aspect of my life.
I think when you do things outside of what you're interested in, you meet people and get ideas to bring in to whatever it is you love doing the most.
I was always fascinated by engineering. Maybe it was an attempt maybe to get my father's respect or interest, or maybe it was just a genetic love of technology, but I was always trying to build things.
The only really interesting thing is what happens between two people in a room.
I have a real interest in pushing some of the limits of things that studios don't want to make.
Any actor wants to do interesting roles, different roles. It's not all that much fun to do the same thing over and over again.
I never did anything else. In college I switched majors every two weeks, and acting was the only thing that held my interest.
I want my kids to be curious, to be interested in a lot of things, to be confident, and to feel they belong in any number of situations.
I thought 'The Hot Zone' was fascinating, mesmerizing. It's one of the things that got me interested in Ebola.
I'm not registered to any party. I don't really play in the political world. I'm really more interested in getting things done.
I always felt that heroes were essentially dull. Villains were more exotic and could do more interesting things.
What I've always done as an entertainer is try to come up with things that people will find interesting, or compelling, or humorous.
Casting ethnic characters is a very hard thing to do, but it's important. It's also interesting.
I pay a lot of attention to how things are done and the whole activity of building something is interesting.
I'm drawn to doing interesting stuff at work. And some of the time with the supernatural, you get to do really crazy, fun things. But I'm not a big genre-fantasy gal, particularly.
If I had money, I would like to get an old building, have music performances, do lithographs, have shows of paintings, and do those things that I'm interested in doing.
The most interesting thing about the idea of money is that it makes it possible to measure something in previous ages we couldn't be sure about, and that something is power.
I used to write sonnets and various things, and moved from there into writing prose, which, incidentally, is a lot more interesting than poetry, including the rhythms of prose.
The only thing I would unequivocally say is that I have never had any interest in romantic comedy I just couldn't do it. I think I'd be terrible.
