I had a fairly enlightened dad, though if you looked at his resume, it might not seem that way. He was a chartered accountant for Price Waterhouse. He was strict, and we had a very ordered life. To this day, I am the least materialistic person I know, because my father didn't raise me to just go out and buy this or that car.
I grew up in a very culturally diverse area of America, and I am very proud to come from there. I am also proud that my inner circle of friends has never been defined by race but by the content of their character. Any former teammate or anyone who has met me can attest to this, and I pride myself on not being a judgmental person.
I'm the last person to ask 'what do you remember' from a particular time period... I like to learn from the past... not 'live' in it.
I'm a very nurturing kind of person and a sort of a homemaker. I'm just interested in things remaining fresh.
I'm a strong person, but I'd never resort to violence.
A person needs a little madness, or else they never dare cut the rope and be free.
I've definitely grown and evolved as a person, as an artist, you know. Just in terms of my style, my taste, my influences, everything... That's a part of being an artist I think.
I thought it would be interesting to write a song about a lonely person who is scared to see the truth that is right in from of him. I thought it would be interesting if you could watch yourself from a distance.
It's hard either way, at home or on the bus, I think the hardest thing probably for me is going one second from being mom to right out on the stage and having to be that person too. It's hard to switch gears.
For a person who promised hope and civility in politics, Mr. Obama has shown a borderline obsessiveness in blaming Mr. Bush.
I should just put it bluntly, because we're all sort of friends here now - it's exceedingly likely that my greatest success is behind me. Oh, so Jesus, what a thought! You know that's the kind of thought that could lead a person to start drinking gin at nine o'clock in the morning, and I don't want to go there.
If there is any one secret of success, it lies in the ability to get the other person's point of view and see things from that person's angle as well as from your own.
When I'm a director, I look at myself the actor as a completely different person. It's somebody else up there, an actor playing a role. I keep myself out of it.
It's time for Republicans to rally behind this campaign in order to put forth the best candidate to stop Hillary Clinton in November. I am confident Ted Cruz is that person, and I'm thrilled to endorse him for president.
I always say I'm Catholic - but a cultural Catholic. I wouldn't say I'm a spiritual person, although I pray every day.
I have to constantly remind myself that I am communicating with a person with hearing loss.
Somebody said I am the most popular person in Arizona because I am speaking the truth.
To a person in love, the value of the individual is intuitively known. Love needs no logic for its mission.
A poem is a naked person... Some people say that I am a poet.
I gave my life to become the person I am right now. Was it worth it?
I think I'm a really good partner and very sensitive to the other person's feelings. I want somebody else to be comfortable, to understand about my job, and if they want to come on a set and see me work, they always can.
I'm a person who thinks realistically but has dreams and fantasies as well.
It's challenging to find an identity as a young person if you don't have the sustenance of love, because you're being shipped around.
I want to work with a director who becomes my brother, my father, for two months. You give yourself over to that person.
I'm not a left-wing person. I'm just a person interested in the sustainability of my country.
To me, acting used to be just, 'Get my face out there, get girls, make a little bit of money, make my mom proud.' It was just like sports. But there were moments in 'Moonlight' that I really felt like I had to know why he is the way he is. Or just people in general - why this person walks around with a frown on their face instead of a smile.
I like to work. The self-esteem and satisfaction that I get from working makes me a better person, which makes me a better mom.
I'm not the kind of person that would step on people just to get where I wanted to be, but I have crossed moral boundaries when I've either been afraid or desperate.
He was the only person caught in the collapse, and afterward, most of his work was recovered too, and it is still spoken of, when it is noted, with high regard, though seldom played.
It is almost as difficult to keep a first class person in a fourth class job, as it is to keep a fourth class person in a first class job.
My book centers in on the New Testament, the goal being to help a person who wants to understand the Bible to see how what God did as revealed in the New Testament will reveal to them their own personal story.
I'm having this conversation with you now. I'm talking, but I'm thinking, feeling, smelling, and moving. Yet I'm concentrating on what you're saying. So that means there's more things going on in the body than just the present thing that the person's got you doing.
I'm not an austere person.
I know what the important things are in life. I know that just because I pretend to be someone else for two hours on the silver screen doesn't make me a better person than the next man. So, I mind all those things. Simple things.
I would be a terrible person to be in a relationship with because I'm either sleeping or at the theater.
That's literally been the story of my career. I'm always the second choice. And you know what? I'm more than happy to be that person.
