Be brave, young lovers, and follow your star.
Your white uniform as a black domestic was your ticket anywhere in town.
Believing a person deserves a defence is not the same as doing anything in your power to get him off scot-free.
I advise everybody not to save: spend your money. Most people save all their lives and leave it to somebody else. Money is to be enjoyed.
A lot of times you get credit for stuff in your movies you didn't intend to be there.
God is infinitely valuable. I can't think of anything that would have a greater impact on your life than for you to believe that.
I'll watch golf while I work out. I'm your average golf fan.
Hating people is like burning down your own house to get rid of a rat.
I liked Los Angeles for odd reasons. For one, there was no sense of community. You were really left to your own resources, spending this inordinate amount of time alone in a balloon of an automobile. I liked that a lot.
Look for joy in your life; it's not always easy to find.
Your success story is a bigger story than whatever you're trying to say on stage. Success makes life easier. It doesn't make living easier.
Know how your representatives stand on major national or state issues.
Whether you're on TV or on the stage, you have to work hard to stay fresh, real, and full of energy. You can't settle back. You always have to stay on your toes.
I work, and then whenever I have any other time, I'm with my daughter, and then I go to sleep. I think you basically have to abandon the dreams of having any other adult activities in your life. You have to go to sleep whenever your child goes to sleep. That's basically how we're doing it.
Blackbeard is probably the most infamous pirate who ever lived. He's one of those characters for which most of your work is done before you start.
It's nice when people want your autograph, but it's a little strange because I never expected it.
Getting a divorce is always horrible because you feel you've failed. Everyone hates to give up on a marriage. You think your family's broken up.
At the Olympics, you there to do a job. I feel you should take it seriously. You should be respectful. You are putting on the red-white-and-blue and going out there to perform for your country.

Dying is the most embarrassing thing that can ever happen to you, because someone's got to take care of all your details.

I always had a love for kids' clothes, but having your own kids is a better education for what is practical. I used to buy such crazy things for the store that were so much fun but not the most practical.
I never consciously said, 'I want to be an actor.' It sounds stupid, but it's kind of like being a painter or something. You don't say, 'From today on I'm going to be a painter.' It's not something conscious - you've just been painting pictures all your life.
When you create a movie, you create something in your image.
People think that women don't negotiate because they're not good negotiators, but that's not it. Women don't negotiate because it doesn't work as well for them. Women have to say, 'I really add a lot of value, and it's in your interest to pay me more.' I hate that advice, but I want to see women get ahead.
Obviously, you need talent to do well in your sport, but I think hard work goes a long way. You need to be lucky within the sport too, though. In badminton, you can benefit from good draws and people getting injured.
Ambition is your inner voice that tells you you can and should strive to go beyond your circumstances or station in life.
Ask your child what he wants for dinner only if he's buying.
Your library is your paradise.
Yes, exercise is the catalyst. That's what makes everything happen: your digestion, your elimination, your sex life, your skin, hair, everything about you depends on circulation. And how do you increase circulation?
Megaupload was a dual-use technology. You can use it for good things, and you can use it for bad things. If someone sends something illegal in an envelope through your postal service, you don't shut down the post office. If someone speeds with the car he just bought, you don't go to the car manufacturer and say, 'Hey, we're shutting you down.'
It's enormously cheering to get a good review by someone who seems to understand your work.
Don't be afraid to take the tough jobs. You'll develop confidence in dealing with tough issues that will serve you for the rest of your career.
If you make listening and observation your occupation you will gain much more than you can by talk.
There are certain nights you and your image just aren't in the same bed.
My husband used to shout at my mother, 'What is wrong with your daughter? I'm married to a man.'
