You only have to worry about going to jail if you break the law. That's pretty simple.
I guess I can't be a great architect. Great architects have a recognizable style. But if every building I did were the same, it would be pretty boring.
I grew up in an era of pretty severe poverty. My parents weathered the Great Depression, and money was always a very big concern. I was weaned on a shortage mentality and placed in foster homes largely because there simply wasn't enough money to take care of the most basic of needs.
Like every mother, it's my children; that's the first thing that makes me really proud. For my own part, it would be when I became a Queen's Counsel in 1995. I was the 76th woman ever to become a Queen's Counsel, so it was still a pretty rare thing.
I always had a pretty good knack for raising hell.
You do not have to be an economist to know that putting up the cost of employing someone is a pretty barking thing to do when you're trying to get out of a recession.
I had been coming to New York, pretty much once a month, to dance on Broadway. I was offered a huge Broadway show but couldn't do it because my brother was having his huge Bar Mitzvah.
Making movies is a very different experience in a lot of ways. It's difficult when you're used to owning the copyright and having a landlord's possessory rights - I rent my plays to the companies that do them and, if I'm upset, I can pull the play. But the only two directors I've worked with are pretty great.
My parents are pretty cool people.
When you have a few cake formulas and filling ideas in your repertoire, you will find that it's pretty much an assembly job - you can mix and match a different way every time.
I didn't grow up thinking I was pretty; there was always a prettier girl than me. So I learned to be smart and tried to be funny and develop the inside of me, because I felt like that's what I had.
Drama's not safe and it's not pretty and it's not kind. People expect the basic template of television drama where there might be naughty villains, but everyone ends up having a nice cup of tea. You've got to do big moral choices and show the terrible things people do in terrible situations. Drama is failing if it doesn't do that.
All I need to make a comedy is a park, a policeman and a pretty girl.
I've read the whole 'Divergent' series, the 'Pretty' series. I just read it because I find this stuff interesting to read.
I actually think the chances that we'll find E.T. are pretty good.
My songs are self-explanatory... somebody pointed out to me that... my songs pretty much speak for themselves.
Science moves with the spirit of an adventure characterized both by youthful arrogance and by the belief that the truth, once found, would be simple as well as pretty.
With all of you men out there who think that having a thousand different ladies is pretty cool, I have learned in my life I've found out that having one woman a thousand different times is much more satisfying.
My kids are pretty secure, bright, and know who they are.
I was never the pretty girl at school. I'm tiny and mixed-race. I grew up in a white area. I was always the loner.
I'm pretty easy going, I think.
I was playing pretty boys and these angelic roles like Nicholas Nickleby and all that stuff. And I was like, 'What am I doing? This isn't who I am, as a man or an artist.' I had to overcome people's belief that I was too pretty to be a badass.
I have a nice smile, pretty lips, and big round cheeks. They help me look like a teenager.
I'm pretty well grounded in Christian principles.
Growing up, I was never the kind of girl to dream about wedding dresses and pretty houses.
I've been touring a lot, and I don't always know how to get around. Google Maps on the iPhone is pretty helpful with that.
I was an appalling person to teach. At 14, I was pretty advanced. I would read all the books in a few minutes, and I was bored. It must have been awful for a teacher to have a bright boy who's giving them his undivided indifference.
I think Stieg Larsson was pretty brave. He wanted to bring up things that we don't like to talk about, or like to ignore.
I was always told I was not pretty enough.
I was pretty immature, and some of it came from just wanting to have fun.
I would say I locked into my persona pretty early; I wouldn't say it's how I am naturally, but it's how I am naturally when I'm on a stage in front of people. That anxiety makes me be the character that I am.
I'm a pretty active person. I love yoga, crossfit, Zumba, and got to get that occasional hike in at Runyon Canyon when I can. I also love mentoring youth.
I don't think there's ever a right time to have kids. I'm actually pretty glad it's happened quite young.
Red carpet is a little bit scary. It's not about expression. It's about taking a pretty picture in a really weird, awkward way, with so many people watching. It's a glamorous part of the job, but it requires its own kind of courage.
When I'm doing something I love, I can lose sleep. I can go and go and go and go. My work ethic is pretty intense. But when it comes to doing something that I don't love every day, I'm not very good at it. That's called work, and I don't like work that much.
To be honest, I'm not really prepared to do a musical, simply because I think I have a pretty atrocious voice.
