Science is telling us that we can do phenomenal things if we put our minds and our resources to it.
Anthropology is the science which tells us that people are the same the whole world over - except when they are different.
The hardest thing to get is true emotion. I always believe you need to earn that with the audience. You can't just tell them, 'Ok, be sad now.'
For me, I don't feel it is a success in the career to be the pretty woman; career success comes from being characters who tell us something about the truth.
One of the definitions of sanity is the ability to tell real from unreal. Soon we'll need a new definition.
You can't have a United States if you are telling some folks that they can't get on the train. There is a cracking point where a society collapses.
I want to work with anyone who's passionate about telling a story. I obviously have a list of people I really love, but it's a really long list.
I love being a writer-director. I couldn't imagine directing without writing it. You have to write and tell your stories - that's what directing is to me.
I love speed. I love racing cars, whether it's on the streets or wherever. Don't tell the St. Louis police, though.
I love to go to the airports and just put on, like, dark glasses, so nobody can tell I'm staring at them, and just draw people.
I like to make money; I like to have nice things. But I love to act; I love to tell stories.
You can't tell stories and really walk in someone's shoes and not have a love for them, even if they're doing horrible things.
Many more people saw me on TV than will ever get to see me on stage, but I do love being in the same room as the people I'm telling the story to.
Many who have spent a lifetime in it can tell us less of love than the child that lost a dog yesterday.
I love playing characters, so I'm always telling my agents, 'Don't worry if the character description is something you think I'm not. Let me try to be that person.'
Music is a lens through which to see who we are. Every phrase of every piece of music is trying to tell a story.
The reason I never wanted to sign with a big label was because I didn't want no one telling me how to make my music.
The music industry is a world of smoke and mirrors: they tell you exactly what they think you want to hear. And they are bare-faced lying. I tend to stay away from that.
When I'd tell people I like country music they'd get this look on their faces. People were kind of ashamed of country.
Let me tell you, sisters, seeing dried egg on a plate in the morning is a lot dirtier than anything I've had to deal with in politics.
Men tell me that I've saved their marriages. It costs them a fortune in shoes, but it's cheaper than a divorce. So I'm still useful, you see.
