YouTube is akin to having my own network.

I've been around since I was 19, I won the Oscar when I was 21, I've had a couple of TV series. I've continued to work despite the predictions of some naysayers.

Deaf people can do anything, except hear.

When I was 13, I told Henry Winkler I wanted to act. He said, Do it and don't let anyone stand in your way. His validation just made it all the more true. I haven't stopped thanking him since.

I have a great husband, great parents and in-laws, and I have help with a nanny. It's not easy, but there are others who do it every day and don't have a high-profile job as I do.

It was ability that mattered, not disability, which is a word I'm not crazy about using.

I got a good handshake. A lot of executives tell me I have the best handshake in Hollywood.

I have made the choices that work best for me. I know I cannot please everyone, and that's fine.

I live my life like everyone else; everyone has their own obstacles. Mine is deafness.

Silence is the last thing the world will ever hear from me.

When I learned to sign and speak at the same time, the whole world opened up to me. That's the beauty of encouraging kids who are deaf to use whatever it takes to communicate.

We've already been killed, all of us. It happened so long ago, we've forgotten it.

It’s ridiculous – a girl steps out, goes dancing, gets her hair cut, decides to spend the summer in Italy and it’s a scandal. A chap does it and no one bats an eyelid.

There is a definite process by which one made people into friends and it involved talking to them and listening to them for hours at a time.

Today 23 years ago dear Grandmama died. I wonder what she would have thought of a Labour Government.

A weak man in a corner is more dangerous than a strong man.

Life's too damn funny for me to explain.

Actors never discuss future plans.

Jeb Bush is my friend. I think he'd make a great president. I've nudged him for some time.

I promise to deliver a corruption-free India... people have chosen our government to get rid of black money.

I sometimes call Donald Trump the placebo president. He will talk a big game, but for domestic policy I think change remarkably little.
