When you are in a situation or a crisis, you need to define, what is the unique role that I can play?
Sometimes it's not even a role that's specifically written for a woman. It could be a role written for a white man or Asian man, or Latino. If it's something that I feel I could do well, I go after it. Especially if it's nothing that has to be gender or race specific, I'm all over it.
I just kind of do my thing with sort of tunnel vision for the story and my role and how it fits together.

I play a role in front of the cameras, just like in the movies.
I don't want to be just known for the way I dress. I want to be known for how I play, how I treat people, and how I am as a role model. I don't just want to be, 'He dresses cool' or 'He dresses crazy.' You're going to have lovers and haters. I want my golf game to be the main thing.
I remember I was like five or six years old; I played the devil. That was my first role.
If you play a gay role, it sticks more than it does if an actor were to play a murderer or a psychopath.

All the government decisions remain and won't be altered until I get in the role and have had a chance to discuss them with my colleagues.
I never go to a gym unless I have to for a role, a contract. I try to take care of myself as a human being, not because I have to be in front of the camera.
Whatever role I play is a positive role; it's a strong role. Never negative.
You know, when they called me about the role, I thought Knots Landing was a show about a houseboat with Andy Griffith!

Sharpe is my favorite role of all that I've played. He's a very complex character. He knows that he's a good soldier, but he will always have to fight the prejudice of aristocratic officers because of his rough working-class upbringing. On the battlefield, he's full of confidence - but off it, he is unsure, a bit shy and ill at ease.
I like doing things that are different, unexpected, and where I feel that either the role feels like a natural fit for me or it's a really big swing that I don't know if I'm going to connect on.

The European model is, first, a social and economic system founded on the role of the market, for no computer in the world can process information better than the market.
I believe that entrepreneurs play an unmatched role and the accelerating pace of innovation is transforming the face of global challenges. You must think about the solution differently when you're trying to impact 1 billion people rather than affecting 1 million people.
It's very satisfying to promote science and education and see good results. Setting a good example for young people, being a role model, is very important for me.
I have always viewed my role as a sort of ambassador or bridge between groups to help provide a dialog.
