I'm glad I've never been so successful that I couldn't stop doing one thing. I've kind of been able to just kick it along and switch around.

I have to say, sushi freaks me out more than almost anything.

I try and take lots of vitamins and I don't drink. I do smoke, though, I'd be insufferable if I didn't smoke, you'd have to push me off a balcony I'd be so boring.

I'm a fan of action movies.

Everybody likes the underdog, because everybody feels like the underdog. No matter how successful you are, you always think, No one's being nice enough to me!

With every project you do, you bring out a part of yourself, and it seems to be quite a good way of expanding a person.

My best feature is unfortunately a private matter, although I'm told it is spectacular. But you can't really walk it down the red carpet. What can I say?

I think I like playing the bad girl. I like complicated. I like flawed, messed up complicated. It's more interesting.

I'm attracted to playing things that I find difficult, just because it's a journey that is much more interesting.

Someone once said that you can make the choice between getting old and getting creepy, and I think getting old is the way to go.

People keep asking me about it but I don't want to be famous for being a former anorexic.

There was plenty for the eye to feast on, but nothing for the soul. He had a hunger for something that no sky could satisfy. Somewhere on the planet there had to be a different kind of light.

Communism will never be halted by negotiations or through the machinations of detente. It can only be halted by force from without or by disintegration from within.

Never oversimplify yourself by using a single word or category to describe who you are. Take the time to tell your story.

Leaders often find themselves temporarily alone.

My fellow journalists called themselves correspondents; I preferred the title of reporter. I wrote what I saw. I took no action -- even an opinion is a kind of action.

I took pleasure when I could. I acted clearly and morally and without regret. I'm very lucky.

I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly. I'll do what it takes till I touch the sky.

Yes, I do talk to my trees. I did say to one 'You'd better smarten yourself up or you'll be gone' and the next year, well, you've never seen such a mass of flowers.

It took a long time to get out of my contract. The producers thought I was negotiating for more money.

I know I can get to the stage where I'm drinking a lot. I tend to be rotten and groggy all day and hanging out for the next drink and five o'clock, ping! I have to just stop.
