Los Angeles is like a beauty parlor at the end of the universe.

It is brilliant going to the theatre and being forced to sit and listen and think about life. It can be almost a near-religious experience.

When I'm panicked about my love handles, I go to the YMCA and get obsessed with Kid Rock videos as I'm on the running machine.

I did my homework and didn't go out much, and had a very highly developed kitsch fantasy life where I dreamed of being a dancing girl.

You don't have to be brilliant at everything. You just have to have the courage to put yourself in the line of fire.

You are exposing yourself all the time as an actor. There's the risk of being thought of as bad or boring or unattractive.

We must first pray, that God would make us wise; before we can wish, he would make us happy.

I do not like candy. I do not like knocking on strangers' doors. I do not like having to deal with the candy disaster that is Halloween. I resent it.

Allow everything else to vanish Save and except your cherished dreams, For your cherished dreams Are treasured sleeplessly By God Himself.

Everyone has to blame something for the way the world is.

Japan has joined the sanctions against the Russian Federation. How are we going to further economic relations on a new and much higher basis, at a higher level under the sanctions regime?

Laughter is timeless. Imagination has no age. And dreams are forever.

Whoever is king, is also the father of his country.
