I don't think people have ever cast me for anything too traditional or midwestern or housewifey.

I'm not really big on slapstick humor. I like gentle humor.

I'm not all that big on rides. I sort of like bumper cars but I don't really go to Disneyland all that much unless if have nieces and nephews or people to take.

I had one nanny who made me sit in front of a bowl of porridge for three or four days running when I refused to eat it. I remember being very unhappy about that.

I have two new nephews and a new niece this year, so I have plenty of kids that I can spend time with.

Put in the work. Reap the rewards

I’ve got something so lovely to think about that I’d like to go back and sit down in the garden, and just think and think until dark without being interrupted by anybody.

To know yourself you must know the transience of your self.

Great men of old and of today never considered themselves only human, they also considered themselves gods. And god! See what hat great achievement have they realized!

I do find the values in A Christmas Carol significant. It is important not to be mean and stingy and not to give up love for money.

I've always got a book in my hands, a novel in my hands. The more I get into film, the more paranoid I get that I'm going to stop seeing things.

Sandals are made out of rubber, and when lit on fire burn black.

At last, she makes her choice. She turns around, drops her head, and walks toward a horizon she cannot see. After that, she does not look back anymore. She knows that if she does, she will weaken.

My resisting being mistreated on the bus did not begin with that particular arrest…I did a lot of walking in Montgomery.

We think computing ought to be like a telephone or a water tap or a light switch.
