I've always felt happy in my own company. It's only when I get around other people that things get sticky.
My own interest in basic aspects of electron transfer between metal complexes became active only after I came to the University of Chicago in 1946.
When I was a teenager, I wanted to be a rock star, not an actor. It means I can do what I want on my own terms.
I've written many extra verses to songs that I learned to sing - an extra verse about a friend, or just add some verse - and that led to writing my own songs.
I don't have children of my own so I can't say I know the plight of being a parent, but I can kinda understand some of the complexities of it.
If I am to truly become an autonomous woman, then I must take over that role of being my own guardian.
In my own recent String Trio I attempt to superimpose two quite different sets of formal strategies, both of which, ultimately, refer back to historical precedent.

Even though the museums guarding their precious property fence everything off, in my own studio, I made them so you and I could walk in and around, and among these sculptures.
If people read 'Tomorrow' and feel that it is offering them some view of my own household, they would be very, very wrong.
There are things that I do agree with in Christianity and things that I don't agree with. I'm not a regular churchgoer, but I do think that I have my own beliefs that I feel strongly about.
I've been practising Buddhism for forty years, and that's what has led me to this path of discovering my own humanity and recognizing the humanity in others.
I never, never lend any of my own clothes for parts any more because you lose your clothes; they become the characters' clothes, and you can never wear them again.
But those two plays left me on fresh terms with language. I didn't always have to speak in my own voice.
I was so focused at 21, maybe to my own detriment because I didn't allow myself to have fun. I was constantly looking for the next audition and working to pay the bills.
