My dad was a big admirer of Sergeant York stories from the First World War.
I can't turn on the television without seeing me, or open the newspaper without seeing me and, honestly, I'm sick to death of me.
People are pretty much alike. It's only that our differences are more susceptible to definition than our similarities.
Inequality can have a bad downside, but equality, for its part, sure does get in the way of coordination.
I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.
The Old Vic has always been first and foremost an actors' theatre, a home for great talent and memorable performances.
I am a great fan of science, but I cannot do a quadratic equation.
A good home must be made, not bought. In the end, it's not track lighting or a sun room that brings light into a kitchen.
I've gotten pretty good at leaving characters on the set. I go home and try to relax and regroup and be ready for the next day.
The word 'star' doesn't mean an awful lot to me. 'Good actor' and having the respect of one's peers means more.
When a friend is in trouble, don't annoy him by asking if there is anything you can do. Think up something appropriate and do it.

If you are looking for a producer, try to contact established producers. Don't let the fear of theft paralyze you, or you will never get anywhere with it.
But with the right kind of coaching and determination you can accomplish anything and the biggest accomplishment that I feel I got from the film was overcoming that fear.
Fear changes everything. We're animals, and when we get afraid we act like animals. I'm not exempt from that.
Animals of all classes, old and young, shrink with instinctive fear from any strange object approaching them.
I've been around some very famous people, but no one has the effect Maradona has; people tremble in his presence.
Before I was famous, when I was just working in Gilbert's Lodge, everything was moving in slow motion.
We all want to be famous people, and the moment we want to be something we are no longer free.
