I am, uh ... a 6 foot tall woman, I feel like I'm a healthy size, I'm not anorexic; and I feel that people who aren't anorexic are punished ... for not being anorexic.

I was born in Washington, D.C., and I was raised in Milwaukee.

I don't consider myself a goody-goody, but I like to be perceived as classy.

I like people-watching and fading into crowds.

In some roles I have to wear fur, and I always make sure it's fake, like in Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me. Faux fur is great because it shows people that faux can look fabulous.

I literally felt like a freak, which is another aspect of the role of Sally that I relate to: total outsider.

My way was not to be the petite, gorgeous, little cheerleader. My way of getting by was making people laugh.

I was a full foot taller than any child my age.

It's a very lonely place, being an addict.

I was such a dork. I was too big. I was really gangly.

I was voted Biggest Ham and Likeliest to Become a Celebrity.

He was like a book, where each chapter picks up pace until you can't put it down. That's when you know you've made a friend - when you want to read more of his story.

Truly I never thought of myself as writing legal thrillers, and I still don't think I do. I write stories about women.

I just would like to keep going. If I kept getting the kind of work that I've been getting for the last 20 years for the next 20, I'd be a bloody Dame of the British Empire. I'd be so happy.

My function as a writer is to provide an atmosphere in which people can think wisely about what we're doing on this planet.

Often the ideas in the show start out as ideas that make you laugh - outrageous "what if" ideas. I wanted an outlet for doing those.

I think a good director casts a film so that the actors bring a lot to the table.

Just telling a story. That's cinema. It's not silent, black and white. It's a simple story that's well made.

I am always asking myself how I can improve the lives of my customers, my colleagues, my shareholders, my family and my friends.

When scattered clouds are resting on the bosoms of hills, it seems as if one might climb into the heavenly region, earth being so intermixed with sky, and gradually transformed into it.

My opinions about human nature are shared by many psychologists, linguists, and biologists, not to mention philosophers and scholars going back centuries.
