I think I was going through a lot of change at 27, but I didn't know it was happening until it was over.
It's tedious to watch something very obvious being worked out, like a movie that's not particularly good and after about half an hour you know how it's going to end.
We've just learned how to balance ourselves a little better so that we're happier way more of the time than not, and, you know, being happy is a radical and desirable act if you ask me.
The enmity of such a party towards Socialism does not mean that the members are only prejudiced against it because they do not know it; it means that they are possessed of bourgeois ideas, and wish to determine their policy accordingly.
An agent said he didn't know what to do with me, I wouldn't be able to play any parts but lesbians and aliens.
My friends and family are my support system. They tell me what I need to hear, not what I want to hear and they are there for me in the good and bad times. Without them I have no idea where I would be and I know that their love for me is what's keeping my head above the water.
It's a real leveller, you know, to do theatre at least once every two years.
I didn't know I was doing film noir, I thought they were detective stories with low lighting!
I grew up on food stamps. I come from a very humble background. And I've had many friends that have been destitute - you know, running into trouble - and places like The Midnight Mission have given them hope and have fed them and gotten them back on the right path.
Seriously I suspected I was a good actor, though I didn't know it during 'Monsoon Wedding.' Now I realize the more I learn, the less I know about acting... and life.
I really woke up one morning and said, you know, 'I haven't seen a good film about the American Revolution. And all the ones I have seen haven't been successful, but I'm going to make a successful one.' Well, I wasn't able to do that.
Reality is a genre that seems to be here to stay. I don't know how many of the new shows will last, but the more competition you have, the harder that pie is to slice up.
I am an agnostic; I do not pretend to know what many ignorant men are sure of.
I have my phone by my bed - I know everyone says you're supposed to turn it off - and it distorts your sleep, and they're probably right.
You're trying to put yourself in that moment and trying to prepare yourself, to have a 'memory before the game. I don't know if you'd call it visualising or dreaming, but I've always done it, my whole life.
My most cryptic, strange songs might be my most personal, but that isn't how people are going to receive them, because they don't know the code.
Know the difference between principles based on right or wrong vs. principles based on personal gain, and consider the basis of your own principles.
I have an education, I went to college, you know?
Know thyself? If I knew myself I would run away.
If you have Julia Roberts in a movie you're never really afraid for her because you know she's not going to die.
There are two schools of thought: There are those actors who explain to you that they know exactly how they're going to do the part... And then there is the other method, which is to have no method at all. This is mine.
I'm my own biggest marketing tool. I know the history of the business and I might as well capitalize on it.
The potential hot tomato of today can turn into the cold pop tart of tomorrow, and I know that.
I wouldn't make an anti-American film. I'm one of the most pro-American foreigners I know. I love America and Americans.
You know, for myself, my personal journey has been a very fortunate one and I would say to people it's like the stars lined up and the skies opened up and the sun shined and I met the right people - was at the right time. And, most importantly, you know I love what I do.
Early in my career, I'd plan something out for my characters. But I've learned that if you know who your character is and you go on instinct, it won't be wrong. It's never wrong. It's just different.
No one looks twice at me when they're around, and 'Cinderella' has made no difference. And I know that isn't going to change.
You know journalists. You know the media. They are going to hang on to anything negative they possibly can.
In Australia, I can just say to my mom, 'I'm going down the street.' And I can walk around pretty much all the places I know.
The worst part about pregnancy would definitely have to be my nausea. I don't know why it's just called morning sickness because morning sickness never just happened in the morning for me and it's not happening just in the morning for my sister.
I have never seen snow and do not know what winter means.
But I certainly know a lot of people that existed at that level and are always kind of pining for more, always thinking that the next big break, the next opportunity, the big role are just around the corner of the next audition.
At first I didn't know if I wanted to do TV again. I can get bored quickly.
We are all, in a sense, experts on secrecy. From earliest childhood we feel its mystery and attraction. We know both the power it confers and the burden it imposes. We learn how it can delight, give breathing space and protect.
We immigrants can sometimes sound a little hysterical about this because we come from places that have tried this and we know where it leads. Anybody who's lived in countries with socialized health care knows that it becomes the dominant political issue.
It is not enough to receive support, no matter, how needed it may be. It is fundamental to know how to receive this support and ensure that its result is exponential.
