I feel myself developing more and more of this soul voice, and...it's a mystery to me. Fundamentally, I just think because I feel it, it's alright.

I've always loved improvising. That's how I write songs. Creativity has an improvised element to it.

It's really hard to make something that doesn't sound like everything else.

If I don't keep my music varied I go a bit stir crazy, you know? If I don't have the opportunity to jump genres every now and again I feel I'm boxed-in.

I can see that in retrospect but I guess I've always had such an identity crisis when it comes to other people's understanding of me.

Every man had his personal habits, passions, and impulses toward goodness, beauty, and truth.

Agnes always wanted to go out. Out was better than in. In was inside, in was interior, in was introspection.

The errors of great men are venerable because they are more fruitful than the truths of little men.

Once an actress always an actress.

Your shoes are only as good as the laces they're attached to.

All my life I've believed that men and women have equal capacities and talents...consequently there should be equality in life's chances.

You can do anything when it's not real. When it is real, nothing breaks your fall. Nothing gets between you and the ground.

Most attorneys practice law because it gives them a grand and glorious feeling. You give them a grand - and they feel glorious.

I never think of myself as a celebrity - or even an actor, actually. I think of myself as a writer-director.

Congress could always stop the President if Congress thinks that what the President has done exceeds the President's authority or is just wrong for the United States.
