It just seemed like a lot of my work centered around England for a number of years.

There's just such a premium on hurrying, and the camera is the be all and end all, and the actors had better hurry up and get it right and get it done.

I think that we need to look hard at our beliefs and be responsible about how we speak out.

I helped found Artists for New South Africa, but it used to be called Artists for Free South Africa. Alfre Woodard and a bunch of us started this.

There's a certain arrogance to an actor who will look at a script and feel like, because the words are simple, maybe they can paraphrase it and make it better.

I know this is kind of corny, but we thought about renewing our vows again because I think my mom would really love it if we did that in Arkansas, where I came from.

I have loved by far the majority of the people I've worked with and the experiences I've had.

I love being in the business I'm in-I do love being a part of a group of people that work well together. I love it when there's a connection.

I still try to do what I've always said I would do, which is say yes to the things that make my heart beat faster, particularly if there's something scary about it.

We tend to love things that are left of center anyway.

Anything to do with the South resonates with me, because I'm Southern.

Here all may see my body lie/ But not my soul, for that can fly!

Even the giant lead balls are not as heavy as the two sad eyes!

I'm really thankful for every experience I've had, even the ones that were puzzling or disorienting, because they taught me so much.

The intelligent ruler makes the law select men and makes no arbitrary appointment himself he makes the law measure merits and makes no arbitrary judgment himself.

They build too low who build beneath the skies.

Innocence is like a dumb leper who has lost his bell, wandering the world, meaning no harm.

Tonight, darling, we are going to right a lot of wrongs.

The dead walk among us.

Royalty is a fine burial shroud.

But all the wickedness in the world which man may do or think is no more to the mercy of God than a live coal dropped in the sea.
