Every time I work with a European director, I find they hire the person that captures the spirit of the role. Americans tend to hire the best face. The person that looks more like the role, whether they can perform the role or not is a bonus.
I had given up magic, because it had reached a state of perfection. I felt that I was able to transform men into animals. I did not make use of this capability, because I believed I could not justify an intervention of this kind in the life of another person.
Growing up, I've always been the baby. I'm the younger of two girls in my family, my friends are always older than I am, and I'm a rather small person in stature as well.
Sexiness is all about your personality, being genuine and confident, and being a good person.
I am basically a private person.
I am a person who has to move. I'm like a shark - if it doesn't move, it dies. I'm in good shape.
I was too shy, I think, to sing publicly. It takes a particular kind of person. And when I was young, I was not that person. In the first instance, when a record company said to me, do you want to try and make your record, my first reaction was, no, I'm not worthy - I couldn't possibly, and so on and so forth.
Mum wasn't at all religious, but she thought that going to the theatre was as important a ceremonial, communal experience that a person could have.
Donald Trump has got unlimited number of insecurities. But the No. 1 one thing, I would say, is his insecurity with his intellect. There's a reason why he always refers to where he went to college and, you know, that, 'I'm a smart person.' You know, it may be narcissism. But I think it really reflects an insecurity.
I'm pretty rough around the edges, but I'm a very open person.
When I was young, my brother David and I were farmed off to foster homes, and I spent time in orphanages. My father abandoned us. Here's the most important person in my life, and I never met him.
I am a very competitive person.
I am not the only person who uses his computer mainly for the purpose of diddling with his computer.
I like to think of myself as a people person.
I always was really confident about myself, about my voice, myself as a person, my body, all of those things, but as a songwriter - I just didn't identify as a songwriter at all.
If you're treated a certain way you become a certain kind of person. If certain things are described to you as being real they're real for you whether they're real or not.
I am not normally a betting person, but I say that putting your money on the American people is about as close to a sure bet as you are going to get.
I think I'm better at playing difficult than I am at being normal. And to me that's something I'm working on now. I'm not really that difficult or complex a person, so it's interesting to me that it's just so much harder for me to play an everygirl.
Nothing gives one person so much advantage over another as to remain always cool and unruffled under all circumstances.
I'm a melancholy person. It's how I'm always going to be.
Let's just say that I think any person who aspires, presumes, or feels the calling to be an artist has a built-in sense of duty.
This person should not be directly connected with the President Ford Committee nor should he be seen as a member of the liberal wing of the Republican Party. He should be someone like Laird or Rogers Morton.
Well, I think I am a very, very lucky person. I'm very fortunate.
I'm not a religious person, but I prefer God to money.
I believe religion is important for every person.
You have to understand that once an indictment has been signed, all countries that are signature to the U.N. charter will hand a person straight over. You don't have to go through the normal extradition process.
When you fall head over heels for someone, you're not falling in love with who they are as a person; you're falling in love with your idea of love.
Stillness of person and steadiness of features are signal marks of good breeding.
If a woman decides she likes me, it would behoove her to take into consideration that my art has had a strong influence on the type of person I am.
I love people who make me laugh. I honestly think it's the thing I like most, to laugh. It cures a multitude of ills. It's probably the most important thing in a person.
Our government is printing money, and it's degrading the living standard of every person in America. It's the cause of frustration, anger, and confusion.
Basically, I'm a really bad interviewer. I love meeting celebrities, but then I get a bit bored. Once you meet them you thing, 'really, what an ordinary person'.
When I'm playing a character like Jonathan in Ripley's Game I want to be in the moment when he's feeling pain; this very ordinary person who finds himself in extraordinary circumstances.
Methamphetamine is a hideous drug. Meth makes a person become paranoid, violent, and aggressive - making them a serious threat to society and law enforcement. And maybe more importantly, meth users are a threat to their own children and families.
I want people to understand me as a person with views, not just performing songs.
Being present with a person and just seeing them for who they are is something that is so rarely given to us, and I try to do that with everyone I meet.
