That was the fun of acting, being a blank canvas you could transform into the character - Indian princess, 20s vamp, Mother Courage, Oxford don, 94-year-old wife.
At about twelve I just knew, something clicked, and I knew I wanted to be an actor and my parents, to their credit, granted this 12 year old girl a chance to give it a try.
Stop being conned by the old mantra that says, 'Leaders are cool, managers are dweebs.' Instead, follow the Peters Principle: Leaders are cool. Managers are cool too!
It's cool when your husband starts to sing some old Merle Haggard song and I can pop in with a harmony and it doesn't sound too bad.
The old adage that you shouldn't change a winning team doesn't apply in modern international football because managers have to study the opposition and pick players who exploit their weaknesses.
The healthcare bill not only is a monstrosity in terms of growing the government and cutting out the private sector, the way it was passed was sleazy. Every old Washington trick was used to pass the healthcare bill.
Reviewing a government budget is much like going through the attic in an old home.
For example, lead paint in old houses can be a greater threat to children's health than lead that may be under some industrial site where there are no children.
I'm most at home on the stage. I was carried onstage for the first time when I was six months old.
I'll be 50 years old and still have to call my mom when I'm home at night. No matter what time, she doesn't sleep until I do!
I maintain the rather old-fashioned view that this is my work and it's in the public arena, but that doesn't entitle everyone to know what happened at home before coming here.
No one realizes how beautiful it is to travel until he comes home and rests his head on his old, familiar pillow.
Being an old farm boy myself, chickens coming home to roost never did make me sad; they've always made me glad.
There's so much more I want to do. I refuse to get to 50 and wait at home for the phone to ring. In Spain, actresses work until they are old. That's my plan.
Well, when I was fifteen years old I worked in a lingerie store and that's how I feel in love with vintage lingerie because I wanted to know the history of it.
When I began to act, I was about 6 years old. Everything you learned, every period of history you studied, you did a play about it.
However, the sciences of society and of history retained their old subservient relation to metaphysics for a long time - well into the eighteenth century.
The telephone is a 100-year-old technology. It's time for a change. Charging for phone calls is something you did last century.
I am of the very last generation who didn't have computers at school. As we grow old we'll become something of an aberration.
I quit after a bad car accident. The thing about boxing is that you can be a star for five or six years, but when you go back to the old life, it's tough.
I spent a disproportionate amount of my time in a car in L.A. I'm 35 years old. If you add up the hours spent in cars, it would be years.
