But I like to know that someone is stronger than I am. I want to be able to know that if I get tired, somebody is there to hold up the fort. I like knowing that I can't pick a refrigerator alone. God did not make me strong enough to do that.
I take it a little bit hard on myself because I'm comparing myself a lot, and that's the kind of person I am because I'm so competitive, but it's also good, because I am competitive, so it kind of kicks you in the butt.
I am Classic Rock Revisited. I revisit it every waking moment of my life because it has the spirit and the attitude and the fire and the middle finger. I am Rosa Parks with a Gibson guitar.
I may not have been the best Yankee to put on the pinstripes, but I am the proudest.
Gradually I find that my whole soul is merging itself into this business of writing, and especially of writing poetry. I am going to try it; and am going to test, in the most rigid way I know, the awful question whether it is my vocation.
Throughout my life, I have tried to share my belief that getting and staying healthy doesn't have to feel like work. My life is not about deprivation; I don't diet or slave away in a gym. What I do is eat clean, nutritious, real food. I enjoy delicious meals with healthy fats, I eat until I am full and satisfied, and I remain thin.
The actor already comes with emotions to the scene: fear, the fear of being in front of the camera. It is this fear that spurs the emotion of the scene. I too am afraid; I don't know exactly what I am searching for. On the set, we are all participating in this fear together.
More than a victim, I am a survivor of a dehumanization process.
I got really tired of fighting who I am, and I did that for a really long time; I was trying to be this perfect girl, perfect family, perfect body, and those people aren't real.
I am most supportive of organizations whose goal is to increase the living situation of those less fortunate than myself.
For someone to say I am overweight is completely ridiculous.
'SNL' has changed my career because it gave it a platform to be seen. And I really feel like the Weekend Update desk is where I am given the opportunity to shine on that show.
I am used to moving homes in football, and it seems to be a recurring theme in my career.
You could say, in a vulgar Freudian way, that I am the unhappy child who escapes into books. Even as a child, I was most happy being alone. This has not changed.
It seems to be unfathomable to people that I just happen to be 49 and look good. I am totally capable of accepting myself.
I am still interested in the long or serial poem, but have written a few smaller things. I may start sending to journals again in a year or so... that's about it.
I am convinced that nobody should be afraid of peace.
I am one of maybe three people in the world who knows anything about Robert W. Chambers.
This is going to sound a bit weird because she's a lot older than I am, but I've got a thing for Meryl Streep.
I am totally anti-technology.
I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
Maybe I am not very human - what I wanted to do was to paint sunlight on the side of a house.
I won't quit skating until I am physically unable.
I am a big believer in the power of journalism; it's a heroic pursuit.
I'm not as good a singer as I am an actor. So that's why I - the stories I like so much is because I've been a story teller for a long time. I started as a singer and found out I didn't have a very good voice. That's the reason I went into acting.
I'm always working. I work wherever I am.
Notice the difference between what happens when a man says to himself, I have failed three times, and what happens when he says, I am a failure.
I may be able to spot arrowheads on the desert but a refrigerator is a jungle in which I am easily lost.
I don't think successful musicians were really put on this planet in order to have a great time, pat themselves on the back and say, 'Oh, what a clever boy I am!' I think that, like most artists, we were put on the planet to suffer just a little. And we do.
I am happiest when I'm sitting on my parent's couch with the fire place on and talking to my family.
I love all music. Right now I am loving Josh Grobin and Kelly Clarkson.
I still have moments when I close myself in, but I wouldn't be on the path that I am with the career that I've had if I didn't have a deep understanding of the sense of my inner freedom.
I am not prejudiced in any way.
But in our age the appeal to authority is weak, and I am of my age.
The experiment of poetry, as far as I am concerned, happens when the poem carries you beyond where you could have reasonably expected to go.
Part of the reason for moving to New York was the sense that it just didn't matter how much work I did in England, I continued to be seen simply as a Redgrave. I did feel I could be who I am in New York and we all like to feel appreciated.
