I'm a strong person, but I'd never resort to violence.

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 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 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.

Once machines performed all the servile functions formerly performed by the lower classes, the population immediately achieved equality, ending over ten thousand years of class systems.

To all things clergic I am allergic.

I have trust issues with allowing other individuals to know my innermost secrets for fear of how I may be viewed. Everyone has this.

Dancing is why I love music as much as I do and vice-versa, and there aren’t many things better than those two combined.

To treat the history of Israel as I would treat the history of England or Russia or China; that is, an attempt at a scientific, historical approach.I am particularly fascinated with origins.

I used to hate England because they ruled my country but I am happy they gave us the game of cricket, which they can't play very well, and the English language, which I can't speak very well.

A good servant is a real godsend, but truly this is a rare bird in the land.

Look at your own potential. Don't overestimate your capabilities and push too hard, or underestimate them and use that as an excuse to be lazy.

Every leader is telling a story... about what he or she values.

Impulse without reason is enough, and reason without impulse is a poor makeshift.
