Many of my staff have been with me for over 20 years. I have a great team, and I make sure they feel respected and appreciated.
If you need proof of how the oral relates to the written, consider that many great novelists, including Joyce and Hemingway, never submitted a piece of work without reading it aloud.
The early part of my career was the 1990s, and I was living in New York working as an actor. It was the world I was in. A lot of companies had a great deal of money.
America is great not because it's a team. America is great because it is a nation whose founding documents elevated the rights of the individual.
The great thing about gurus is not that they make you feel everybody's love. It's that they make you feel that you can love everybody.
I've got a great sense of humor, and if I'm able to say or do something in a movie that people feel like they want to repeat, that's hugely flattering.
I try to find humor in everything I do, because I think all great plays - even great tragedies - have enormous humor in them.
I have a great pack of female friends, but I also have a lot of guy friends. I believe that platonic relationship is entirely possible.
Science fiction is the great opportunity to speculate on what could happen. It does give me, as a futurist, scenarios.
I smile every time I hear that I'm a fan favorite or a teenage hottie. It is a nice compliment, and the remarks from the fans are great.
I'm a big advocate of a work-for-pay setup rather than an allowance that isn't attached to chores - it's a great way to impart the value of money to your children.
Keep in mind that in 1985, I had a potential readership of over 50 million Americans. At that time, a good portion of those were under 30.
I feel sorry for people who don't drink. When they wake up in the morning, that's as good as they're going to feel all day.
In a movie like this, the relationship between the two guys is crucial. It sinks or swims on how these two guys are together. I think we did a good job.
To me, a lot of what makes a good actor is not what a teacher tells you to do but how you respond when you're on your own.
A Latin teacher told me I might make a good actress, and that stuck in my memory. I did some modeling, and Polanski gave me that small part.
My children have been all over the world, and I think it's so good for them: expanding their horizons and imagination and seeing how other people live.
I'm the one who made many of the bold comments that we'd seen the technologies from AMD as pretty good. Their technology in many areas was leading. But those are transient.
Never stop moving, or you'll stop moving. I go to dance class every morning, and it's just good to stay strong; I like being healthy.
The notion of making money by popular work, and then retiring to do good work, is the most familiar of all the devil's traps for artists.
I was always good at math and science, and I never realized that that was unusual or somehow undesirable.
