Stephen Hawking's been watching too many Hollywood movies. I think the only kind aliens in Hollywood are the ones created by Steven Spielberg - 'Close Encounters of the Third Kind' and 'E.T.,' for example. All other aliens are trying to suck our brains out.
You've always got to think about having some fixed income in your portfolio as well as equities.
If, later on, my daughter wants to be in a girl group, then I think I am going to oppose.
Basically, the start of my thinking process is: 'OK, if you didn't have to worry about re-election, what would you be doing?' That's kind of how I'm starting to think.
I think, as a woman, you do sort of have to work twice as hard, but I don't feel as if I wasn't given opportunities.
You think I am a fool, but you are a greater fool than I am.
At times I ask myself if I shouldn't be living a more regular, stable life with a 9-to-5 job. Then I think about it and realise that there is no point in planning everything.
I go to the Catholic Church. God is an important part of my life. If he was not, I don't think I could have survived.
I wanted to do Dreamgirls. If they're doing a stage production of Sparkle, I think that would be hot.
For as spiritual as some people think my books are, I've never really dealt with religious things.
I don't think I'm a great songwriter, but I think I've learned a lot about it, and I don't think there's any one way to do it. I don't think I can control it at all. I can just kind of hope that it happens.
No, the type-casting didn't happen until after Star Trek. I don't think that you get typecast until you've been cast!
The founding generation would be amazed. It would be surprised. I think it would be very impressed by what has happened since then in terms of our exploding population; in terms of the success of this country economically and otherwise.
I think it is totally wrong and terribly harmful if education is defined as acquiring knowledge.
Artists are political in the sense that they've subtracted themselves from the structure of the marketplace and are contributing something that's not utilitarian. Even though books get sold, and I get advances, I get to look at society and think for a living.
I think the Mormon Tabernacle Choir is as great as it is because it's become it's a labor of love. They love what they do.
I think music sharing of any kind is great.
It's not really like you have a thing like a supermodel anymore. It's more of a word than a real existence. I think, also, looking at it from a designer's point of view, at one point maybe they felt the stars took too much attention away from the clothes.
I think I settled on the title before I ever wrote the book.
You always want to get better, and I think that will remain true for the rest of my career.
I have 1.4 million followers on Twitter. I get very interesting, sometimes very diverse input from my followers. So it's sort of like this water cooler, digital water cooler, if you want to think about it, where you go and you listen to conversations that are happening that perhaps will shape your thinking.
I don't want to run for governor, but I don't think anyone should put public service out of the question because that's not what a good citizen does.
I think there's plenty of room for blogs that exist to pay the blogger, or blogs that exist to turn a profit. That's just not the kind of blog I'm writing, and I'm not the kind of blogger that could do that.
We breathe, we think, we conceive of our lives as narratives.
I always loved working as an actress, but I didn't understand why I couldn't just opt out of being famous. And then I realized you can, and I think I did. And eventually, I came to understand that you can do that and also keep working.
I think if I took therapy, the doctor would quit. He'd just pick up the couch and walk out of the room.
You have to think an awful lot about your motivations or people's behavioral intentions or what their body language can indicate or what's really going on or what makes people sometimes do, sometimes, the irrational things they do.
In some instances, I don't care what people think. In other instances, I do - especially because of the stereotype. People take a look at me and say, 'She's cute. She's blond. She's an actress. She's a bimbo.' You know? So I take great pains to show I'm intelligent, to show I'm not a twinkie.
We Dutch, we like to have an opinion, a strong opinion. We think we know everything better.
I'm always trying to do stuff I haven't done before or challenge myself so I'm not resting on my laurels all of the time because if I just found my little niche and never left it, I'd be pretty boring, I think.

It is a beautiful trait in the lover's character, that they think no evil of the object loved.
Since I was seventeen I thought I might be a star. I'd think about all my heroes, Charlie Parker, Jimi Hendrix... I had a romantic feeling about how these people became famous.
At university, I said to a girl, 'Before I met you all I could think about was history; now, all I can think about is you'. I thought that was the sort of thing you had to say.
I don't think film actors need training, really, but I needed any help I could get.
I did tap dancing and stuff like that at drama school. I did ballet as well. My dance teacher and I didn't necessarily get along all that well sometimes. She's brilliant... but it's just because I don't like wearing tights that I put up a bit of a fight there, I think.
