I've watched my duty, straight an' true, an' tried to do it well; Part of the time kept heaven in view, An' part steered clear of hell.
I'm a task-oriented actor. A pretender. And I try to invent my process anew each time I make a new project. So I frown on any method.
I surrender the idea of having some kind of control over the arc of my career a lot of the time because you never know what tomorrow's going to bring.
I always said that when it was time to retire, I would know it, and I would just tip my hat to the crowds.
When I got pregnant, I had to concentrate on being pregnant for a whole nine months, even though I knew it was ruining my career at the time.
My father was like the Old Testament. I am the New Testament. I am part of a new generation. In time, people will realize this.
I haven't found it to be particularly enjoyable... ninety percent of the time when I go on dates, I'm thinking, 'I could be reading my book instead.'
Medical Student: [about Dudley] Can the boy tell time? Raleigh: Oh, my Lord, no.
I only have so much time and energy and money, and I'm going to put it into my work.
I was trying to do too many things at the same time, which is my nature. But I was enjoying it, and I still do enjoy it.
It's really important to have balance, spend some time in nature, go to a few parties, enjoy my friends and really chill out.
My fascination is not for cinema; it's for human nature and human beings because I find it quite difficult being one at times.
I'm a private person by nature. I live in my brain half the time, not the world, and I'm not a natural negotiator. But I've learned to negotiate.
I visited my father for the full ten years that he was in prison, so we already had a deep and loving relationship, and remembered our mother at those times.
My son has taken liking for sports and is most of the time playing cricket and football. It is so much fun being with them, as I'm enjoying every phase of motherhood.
If I loved a guy as much as I love my dog, the guy would be in serious trouble. Because I'm all over that dog, all the time.
I read all the time. I love it. My fantasy would be to be locked into a library. I'd be very, very happy.
I could have gone on to be an engineer full time, except that there was more demand for my playing. But the love of working the board never leaves you.
Anyone who has spent any time in space will love it for the rest of their lives. I achieved my childhood dream of the sky.
I walk my dogs. I garden a little. I play a bit of tennis. Basically when I have spare time I'm making music.
The drive to create music that is pure is my highest priority. Sometimes I'll get extremely technical, and other times I'll just kind of go with the gods of music.
