I've always been really athletic, which really helped, because when I first started doing the training for Bulletproof Monk, it required so much strength that if I didn't have a base I don't really know what I would have done.
Writing has never been a driving force within me.
I've been really lucky in that I've been able to work so much, and pretty much everything I've done has been really great fun.
I've never really been one of those girls who's scared of showing a bit of flesh.
The repeated announcements that the Russian resistance was definitely broken have been proved to be untrue.
I like movies because I've been getting leads, and TV is more about ensemble casts.
I've never really been that much of a fan of Ninja Tune.
I have been my own disciple and my own master. And I have been a good disciple but a bad master.
Everything about my politics has been about the future.
That's a good sign for a movie: When it becomes part of the lexicon and pop culture for an entire generation. I've been in many movies, luckily, that get quoted.
Life and death have been lacking in my life.
We consume about 25 percent of the world's oil every year, but we only have reserves, including that which has not been pumped, of about 3 percent of the oil reserves in the world.
The treatment of patients with contaminated blood has been described as one of the most tragic episodes in the history of the NHS.
Even if I hadn't have been nominated for an Oscar, to have won the Golden Glove was just fantastic.
My time as editor has been overlapped by a crisis - a prolonged, labyrinthine, tragic, seemingly non-ending crisis - that involves the prehistory of 9/11, 9/11, Iraq, Afghanistan, fraught histories between the United States and almost everyone.
In regards to steroids, I think we're all to blame, all of baseball. I never realized how far-reaching this problem has been.
I'm pretty horrible at relationships and haven't been in many long-term ones. Leaving and moving on - returning to a familiar sense of self-reliance and autonomy - is what I know; that feeling is as comfortable and comforting as it might be for a different kind of person to stay.
Self-promotion has never been a point, and I'm incredibly inept at self-promotion.
I didn't say I wouldn't go into ghetto areas. I've been in many of them and to some extent I would say this; if you've seen one city slum, you've seen them all.
I have never been over fond of scenes anywhere.
Obama has been attacked repeatedly for not wearing a flag pin, with Republicans claiming that his patriotism is in question. It's all a bit silly.
I've been training as an actor for six years. Nobody goes to acting school for six years. I mean, the college course is only four years! I absolutely trained.
Women who have been recently diagnosed with breast cancer can learn a tremendous amount from women who have already been treated.
I believe that our office has clearly been the leader in building coalitions, in getting other universities across the contrary to interact more effectively with the government and particularly the Congress.
I'd been very partial to Malcolm X, particularly his self-help teachings.
You have to ask if the country would have been ready for Barack Obama if we hadn't been prepared by Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice. If they hadn't already been in positions of enormous power and influence - secretary of state, secretary of defence - you know what I mean?
I've been around some very famous people, but no one has the effect Maradona has; people tremble in his presence.
I've always been obsessed with bad, awkward television and bad public access. Before YouTube, it was a treat coming across that stuff. When I moved to New York, I used to love watching public access late at night.
I've always liked texts that you immediately understand. I suppose the playwrights who really speak to me are Edward Bond, Joe Orton and Harold Pinter. I've been in six different Pinter productions - I love the clarity of his language. He has this way of using words - there's a thrill to them.
I've always been happy just to be working. It doesn't really matter for me how many people are familiar with my name or my picture, or whatever.
Carbon-carbon bond formation reactions employing organoboron compounds and organic electrophiles have recently been recognized as powerful tools for the construction of new organic compounds.
All the animals I've painted always have a relationship with man. I have been told that part of the knowledge of the human anatomy comes from animals.
I am composing like a god, as if it simply had to be done as it has been done.
I think at the end of the day, the real sick man of Europe is liable to turn out to be France, not Greece, not Portugal, not Spain, not Italy. The reason is France is very uncompetitive to begin with on a global scale, and the measures that Hollande has been putting in have been very, very negative from the point of view of economic growth.
I first conceived of my far-future setting 'Punktown' in 1980, and though it contains 'punk' in its name, the term 'cyberpunk' hadn't been coined yet. I took my inspiration strictly from punk music.
But it so happens, and it will ever happen so, that they who have lived to serve their country - no matter how weak their efforts may have been - are sure to receive the thanks and blessings of its people.
