I think I've got something when I'm onscreen, but that's nothing to do with acting or talent

It's quite hard for me being an actress because I actually don't like attention

What if the poem loses?What if it never tastes victory like the intent it was written with?

What is that mountain goat doing way up here in the clouds?

A lot of journalists say, "Tell us about the '80s." Nobody wants to know about the '70s!

What was said about all of us? We're stupid. You'll never work in a town again. How do you look your four children in the eye? You've sold your soul. You know, it went on and on.

Imagination has given us the steam engine, the telephone, the talking-machine, and the automobile, for these things had to be dreamed of before they became realities.

Every guitar I own gets used and has its purpose.

Politics is its own world. It is a court and if the king's eye lights on you, you are a powerful figure. If the king's eye wanders elsewhere, you are out, whatever your title.
