I can't stand to see myself act. It just makes me cringe.

To me, it's the kiss of death when you start winking at the audience as an actor. I just never liked it. I don't like it when we do monologues, looking into the character.

Most of my career up until the last couple of years has basically been a training ground for me. Actors that came up in the '50s and '60s, they had the theater, and television was in its infancy.

I think what makes us human is our interconnectedness among people. It's our ability to form and maintain relationships. It's the barometer by which we call ourselves human.

Harrison Ford - one of my favorite actors - has a wonderful sense of character and depth and uniqueness to him, yet he's able to just deliver the lines without putting any English on it.

I still collect comics. I still have a great love and respect for the genre.

My dad was an entrepreneurial businessman, and maybe I got some of his ability.

I spent a lot of years just learning my craft and falling down in front of the camera.

If I stay alert, then I can challenge myself, and by challenging myself, that helps me to stay alive and to hopefully take something away from the experience.

Earlier on in my career I felt that I had to hide behind a lot of different masks, and showboat ways of performing. Now, that's a lie. The less I have to hide, the less I have to act.

I think all good drama is funny. All the best drama is ultimately very funny. Life is funny. You can't have any honest treatise on life without bumping into some humor.

Life can be more human and less tragic

[Our employees] do it not because we pay them more, but because they want to be part of something.

I didn't decide to become a musician until the age of 15, which is quite late.

A heart that overflows may seek out merrymaking and boisterous festivities to quietly rejoice, unnoticed amidst the reveling crowds.

Dense overgrown forests and rangelands have grown like a cancer. They need to be treated.

I have a way of life that I don't change just because I am a president. I earn more than I need, even if it's not enough for others. For me, it is no sacrifice, it's a duty.

Nothing but the infinite Pity is sufficient for the infinite pathos of human life.

Im a good girl at heart who just wants to have fun.

Just keep doing 'you', and being who you are and doing what feels natural to you.

The best results I have had in my life; the most enjoyable times, have all come from asking the simple question: 'What is the worst that could happen?'
