My sister is a good story of resiliency. She had a full ride at UC Davis, but she left school to go to the Philippines - and then she decided to go back to school in her 40s, which surprised me. She went to UC Berkeley, and I think she was one of two...
I've actually always wanted to be able to read people's minds. My sister did a movie with super-powers and that's the one I would have wanted, so I really lucked out. The negative is that people are really cruel in their own minds, but you can weed o...
One of my earliest memories is of seeing my mother in her beach chair, reading a book under an umbrella by the water's edge while my sisters and I played beside her. Of all the life lessons she taught me, that is one of my favorites: to take time at ...
When I was nine years old, living on the south side of Chicago, my father was a minister and my mother used to scrub floors. I had seven brothers and four sisters. I told my mama, 'One of these days I'm going to be big and strong and buy you a beauti...
Growing up, my sisters and I would always talk stories. One of my frustrations was I didn't know anything about cameras. I didn't know how to make a film and I obviously didn't have a special effects budget. I was a kid. So I was learning to draw to ...
I really do believe that no one is too pious to fall or too far gone to be redeemed in some way. Jaime Lannister on 'Game of Thrones' did terrible things, and now I feel so bad for him because his sister won't kiss him. Isn't that weird? Does she not...
When I was three and a half years old, I heard my big sister tell my mum that at school that day all the kids sat on the floor and watched 'The Neverending Story.' Having never heard of the movie, I concluded that this was what school must be: sittin...
Many people today agree that we need to reduce violence in our society. If we are truly serious about this, we must deal with the roots of violence, particularly those that exist within each of us. We need to embrace 'inner disarmament,' reducing our...
I think what you're seeing is a profound recognition on the part of the American people that gays and lesbians and transgender persons are our brothers, our sisters, our children, our cousins, our friends, our co-workers, and that they've got to be t...
I can remember being in my pram: children stayed in their prams much longer then than they do now. A big bouncy pram with black covers and a hood with metal clips that could trap your fingers. I was looking up at my sister who was sitting on the pram...
My mother, who grew up in Pennsylvania, literally washed my mouth out with soap once for saying, 'Shut up!' to my sister. She would have washed my mouth out with gasoline if she knew how foul my mouth was racially when she wasn't around.
I wash my hair once a week. You can do that. I swear. My sister-in-law and all of my friends were like, 'I can't do that. It sounds gross.' Once you train your hair, it will do whatever you want it to do. And on day seven when it's too oily, you just...
Alex: What you got back home, little sister, to play your fuzzy warbles on? I bet you got little save pitiful, portable picnic players. Come with uncle and hear all proper! Hear angel trumpets and devil trombones. You are invited.
Sister Helen Prejean: You are a son of God. Matthew Poncelet: [in tears] Thank you. I've never been called a son of God before. [laughs slightly] Matthew Poncelet: I've been called a son of a you-know-what plenty of times, but I've never been called ...
Fleur Delacour: You saved her even though she wasn't yours to save! My little sister [kisses Harry on the cheeks] Fleur Delacour: Thank you! And you, you helped! Ron: Well, a little... [she kisses Ron on the cheeks]
Mickey: Why all of a sudden is the sketch dirty? Ed Smythe: Child molestation is a touchy subject, and the affiliates... Mickey: Read the papers, half the country's doing it! Ed Smythe: Yes, but you name names. Mickey: We never-we don't name names, w...
Gail: Two months ago, you thought you had a malignant melanoma. Mickey: Naturally, I, I- Do you know I- The sudden appearance of a black spot on my back! Gail: It was on your shirt! Mickey: I- How was I to know? Everyone was pointing back here.
Karen: The trouble with being the Prime Minister's sister is, it does put your life into rather harsh perspective. What did my brother do today? He stood up and fought for his country. And what did I do? I made a papier maché lobster head.
[first lines] Dorota: [running from bombing] Mr. Szpilman? Wladyslaw Szpilman: Hello. Dorota: Oh, I came specially to meet you. I love your playing. Wladyslaw Szpilman: Who are you? Dorota: My name is Dorota. I, I'm Jurek's sister... You're bleeding.
Eli: I'm worried about you, Richie. Richie: Why? Eli: Well, actually, Margot is, for some reason. But I did find it odd when you said you were in love with her. She's married you know. Richie: Yeah. Eli: And she's your sister. Richie: Adopted.
Blanche DuBois: My, but you have an impressive, judicial air. Stanley Kowalski: You know, if I didn't know that you was my wife's sister, I would get ideas about you... Don't play so dumb. You know what.
