I enjoy countless hundreds pursuing me. I love those who love me the most. I am sort of flattered by men showing attention to me.
I'm not going to be known as the Sinn Fein Minister who did the bidding of a Tory administration which is focused on decimating the welfare state.
I used to think of myself in terms of who I'd be if I didn't have this pesky old disability.
A person who has been punished is not less inclined to behave in a given way; at best, he learns how to avoid punishment.
Tom Ford, who is my all-time favourite, once said to me, 'Here's the thing about dress shirts, Rob. You need white, and you need black.' 'What about blue,' I asked. He said, 'Have you ever seen Cary Grant in a blue dress shirt?'
Ultimately, the only people who are in any way edified by hanging with famous people are you at the age of 11 and your mom.
I know there is a Supreme Being who rules the affairs of men and whose goodness and mercy have always followed the American people, and I know He will not turn from us now if we humbly and reverently seek His powerful aid.
I know people who have, until recently, lived with dirt floors. There are people who live way back off the grid, without electricity. Not a whole lot, but quite a few. That's a choice for a lot of them. There might be a religious element in their isolation, at least with some of them.
The good thing about not being drop-dead gorgeous is that as time passes, I don't have much to worry about. I have friends who are actors and every day they look in the mirror with trepidation.
When you tell people you are a model, they have a very narrow view of who you are, and it's good to be able to say that it's not all that I am.
I know that a man who shows me his wealth is like the beggar who shows me his poverty; they are both looking for alms from me, the rich man for the alms of my envy, the poor man for the alms of my guilt.
A drama critic is a person who surprises the playwright by informing him what he meant.
Somewhere deep inside me was the will and determination not only to live, but to be a more present mother for my kids, instead of one who was emotionally unavailable because she was in so much pain, as my own mother was.
I just know that all my fans who are with me and going along for the ride, that's what means the most to me.
It's important you think positively not negatively. Think about your loved ones and all the people who are behind you.
People who make no mistakes lack boldness and the spirit of adventure. They are the brakes on the wheels of progress.
Surrounding yourself with people who are actively and enthusiastically working toward their best futures will keep you moving toward your own goals.
There are a lot of historical novelists who do the research about the clothes and maybe even the eating utensils, but they're basically taking modern people and putting them in old drag - it's sort of the 'Gone With the Wind' approach.
When I've written episodes of 'Doctor Who', when it comes to the monster chasing somebody, it's the Doctor and the companion, running down the corridor, being chased by a guy with a stick and a tennis ball on the end. Whereas, when I see the rushes of 'Being Human', we're actually looking at the werewolf, and it just looks real.
I'm so jealous of people who in second grade knew what they wanted to do.
I felt I would have the most creative freedom making experimental films and teaching, as I had many good examples of people around me who did just that.
It's weird: for someone who mostly really exists online, I'm actually not very interested in the Internet at all.
I have high expectations for the people who work for me. I figure that if they work really hard and do a good job on one of my campaigns or in my office, that experience will serve them well later on.
I'm in a position where I'm being continually knocked back for the kind of independent films I want to be in because people don't know who I am.
My first job on the radio was writing jokes for a Baltimore DJ called Johnny Walker, who was sort of a '70s era shock jock who all the teenage boys listened to in my school.
I'm still that rowdy dude who has after-parties in his dressing room with a concert-sized PA system blasting away.
An actor is like a piece of clay: you just keep moulding me. Even people who work with you every day want to put you in a little box.
I've been giving back since I was a teen, handing out turkeys at Thanksgiving and handing out toys at toys drives for Christmas. It's very important to give back as a youth. It's as simple as helping an old lady across the street or giving up your seat on the bus for someone who is pregnant.
Men who are too good looking are never good in bed because they never had to be.
The first show I did was 'The Nutcracker' ballet. I was one of the kids who comes out in the beginning.
Modeling gave me so many experiences, like traveling and being exposed to global cultures, but the most valuable lesson has been working with designers who truly are visionaries in their field.
History is a guide to navigation in perilous times. History is who we are and why we are the way we are.
A regular old drag queen is usually your science teacher who's actually wearing women's panties underneath his slacks. A drag-queen superstar is someone who actually works in clubs and makes a living doing it more than one night a year, or even one night in six months.
There's no authoritarian structure at Reed College, but the education is conservative. So what you have is a lot of students who are very authentically looking for truth.
I only want people around me who can do the impossible.
It amazes me when I hear people say, 'I want to go out and find out who I am.' I always knew who I was. I was going to be famous if it killed me.
