I don't know if I have a technique. I'm just trying to remember the words.

I learned a long time ago: You're in the entertainment business. You're not in the reality business. One has absolutely nothing to do with the other.

I have a home in Arizona. I go a couple months a year, but basically Chicago is my home.

I wanted to do Buddy Faro as a small budget movie. They said no. So I wanted to do it as a series of recurring TV movies, and they said no. So I agreed to do it as a series.

You cant act for the editing. You just go in and do the scene the way you think is right.

You can change a person's life in an instant; put him in a movie, and you start thinking differently, you want to be in another movie. It's like an addiction almost.

I know people who go back and check themselves, but it drives me crazy. Everybody wants to look in the mirror and see Cary Grant looking back at them, but that's just not the case.

As far as carrying the American banner, you just do what's right for the kids.

I've tried writing. Two days later I'd go visit it and say, Jesus Christ, who wrote this crap?

When I was a kid going to the movies, we'd go because Bogart was in the movie, or Cagney, or John Wayne. We didn't know what the story was about or anything.

Do whatever you're directed to do, and leave the rest of that technical stuff up to the director.

We read frequently if unknowingly, in quest of a mind more original than our own.

What's the use trying to read Shakespeare, especially in one of those little paper editions whose pages get ruffled, or stuck together with sea-water?

Just enjoy the music of life.

Music enables an ability of divine expression transcending any words.

He prays best who does not know that he is praying.

I love to work out and do cardio and have a healthy, active lifestyle, but I also am not going to, like, freak out over food.

... our interests and our conscience compel us to act on behalf of those who long for freedom. And we must be a source of hope to the poor, the sick, the marginalized, the victims of prejudice.

The calibre of TV's changing. It's becoming much more epic. To rival film, definitely.

I'm not used to being asked what I want to talk about. That's why I'm an actress. Get told what to do, stand on the mark, say your words, wear this, look this way, look that way.

In every man there is something wherein I may learn of him, and in that I am his pupil.
