Every single night I'm nervous.

Life is too short to work so hard.

I'm not a film star; I am an actress. Being a film star is such a false life, lived for fake values and for publicity.

I've been a godmother loads of times, but being a grandmother is better than anything.

I loved fencing and dancing and elocution.

Most of us have compromised with life. Those who fight for what they want will always thrill us.

People who are very beautiful make their own laws.

Scarlett: You should die of shame to leave me here alone and helpless. Rhett: You helpless? (laughs) Heaven help the Yankees if they capture you.

Sometimes I dread the truth of the lines I say. But the dread must never show.

When I come into the theatre I get a sense of security. I love an audience. I love people, and I act because I like trying to give pleasure to people.

I've always been mad about cats.

Our raw imperfections make us real and make us human but they don't make us.

If the creation of the Universe was left up to a atheist, we would still have nothing.

Obsolescence and death, the reign of the archaic, the abandoned, and the corny: Really, if you saw Windows 3.0 on the sidewalk outside the building, would you bend over and pick it up?!?

When I run barefoot, I put my shoes on my hands. Running around with shoe-hands looks a little weird.

The times we find ourselves having to wait on others may be the perfect opportunities to train ourselves to wait on the Lord.

What I'm trying to do right now is truly answer my most deepest most unarticulated questions for myself through my writing in some form.

Right from the start my parents had left me to fend for myself. Apparently unaware that I was a kid, they invariably treated me like an adult, perhaps because they themselves were no spring chickens.

I write the lyrics based on what is going on in my life - I'm not going to write about the old hair metal stuff, like castles and stuff.

Christianity doesn't offer a smooth flight; it provides a safe landing. The promise of Jesus is not one of happiness, He promises righteousness.

Commit to your business. Believe in it more than anybody else.
