I wish I could swap closets with Diana Vreeland, but I think only my left thigh would fit into her clothing.
Actually, everything has been said in print... it's a battle of giants and it's something that Walt would say is none of your business - go right on and create the best you can.
My parents both defected from communist Hungary and were what most people would today call libertarian. I grew up with a general distaste for taxation and any policy that intruded on our lives.
I would travel only by horse, if I had the choice.
One that would have the fruit must climb the tree.
There are many times when I think I would have rather died with my husband. It would have been pleasanter, simpler. But it would have been worse for the children and the family in general.
I have friends in overalls whose friendship I would not swap for the favor of the kings of the world.
I also believed that our public at home would be strong enough to survive even the present crisis.
And the VCR did the same thing: the movie industry thought nobody would ever watch movies any more.
If it wasn't for the devil, we wouldn't be here, would we?
I would do anything for a part, nearly anything. Being in movies doesn't mean being pretty.
I would say a lot of the emotion in what I do is a sort of a thankfulness for those energies being around, because there's been points in my life when they weren't around, and it's a real sort of miserable existence.
But at a certain point, and I don't really know... people have asked me this. I don't know exactly what it was that pushed me towards directing, but I think it was a naive notion that if I directed I would be able to play all the roles. A kind of greed.
My high-school a cappella teacher would embarrass me in front of the choir. 'Mavis, you're in the basement. Mavis, you're singing with the boys.' I said, 'Mr. Finch, my voice isn't soprano. I can't sing up there with the girls.' So I just got out of the choir.
Some of the reasons John McCain lost in 2008 were his lackluster campaign, his refusal to showcase Obama's extreme liberalism and, thus, his failure to demonstrate why he would make a better president than Obama.
I would not be able to pen an academic and dry diatribe. I have too much talent for that.
St. Andrews is the Home of Golf and the greatest course in the world. Any time you can win at St. Andrews would be special. It's every golfer's dream to win out here.
My mom brought me up by herself, so I was a latchkey kid. I would walk myself back from school and spent a lot of time at home alone, watching TV. There weren't a lot of Latinas - or any women of color. And the ones I saw were usually presented as stereotypes or treated like jokes.
I thought 'Mud' would be such an easy film for people to understand.
Our focus continues to be on having the Saints in Louisiana... We're trying to develop what we would regard as a new model for the Saints to operate in a rebuilt Louisiana.
You pray in your distress and in your need; would that you might also pray in the fullness of your joy and in your days of abundance.
If pregnancy were a book they would cut the last two chapters.
When I was about 19, I shot a tape of me doing magic just to people on the streets, and I would edit together all the reactions and I kept pushing this idea, and then ABC came on board and made my first show.
I'm thinking in terms of a point of departure, a field of action for performers to express an expressive need of mine which hopefully the context of music would convey.
Romantic love is mental illness. But it's a pleasurable one. It's a drug. It distorts reality, and that's the point of it. It would be impossible to fall in love with someone that you really saw.
By that time I was thinking a little about pro ball and hopeful that someone would draft me.
I haven't slept for ten days, because that would be too long.
When I was growing up, around 14, it wasn't really cool at the time to have a big butt. I would always cover it with sweaters, and I was so ashamed of it. Now I'm like, 'Why would I ever do that? That's awful!' Don't change yourself, and don't try to be anyone who you're not.
No one would have crossed the ocean if he could have gotten off the ship in the storm.
I would say I have a complicated relationship with institutionalized religion.
An audience is so important. I would never have had the guts to dub in that big a laugh.
With 'GoldenEye,' the franchise got locked into this legal fight. They couldn't make new Bond movies for about seven years. It was my first huge production. I figured if I did at least a yeoman-like job, it would be greeted as a complete revival of the series.
When one studies the properties of atoms, one found that the reality is far stranger than anybody would have invented in the form of fiction. Particles really do have the possibility of, in some sense, being in more than one place at one time.
I would love to do Broadway the rest of my life! Because it's challenging, because it makes me grow as an actor, as an entertainer, as an artist, and that's what I need; that's what I'm hooked on.
If everyone could learn that what is right for me does not make it right for anyone else, the world would be a much happier place.
I always said that when it was time to retire, I would know it, and I would just tip my hat to the crowds.
