A boyfriend has so much to do with a woman blossoming.

When it's going well, stand-up is the best thing in the world, but when it's not, it feels like all your toes are being pulled off one by one.

I've made a career of taking roles that other actresses didn't want.

We could not talk or talk forever and still find things to not talk about.

I feel that when you want to seduce a man, you really need your legs. Since all my outfits were long dresses, I have to say that I really didn't feel sexy at all.

You can never tell what the public will think! But when something goes well and is well-received, it's a great surprise!

I have been able to sniff out a phony.

I've only had one dramatic role in my entire career and when I did it, I was in heaven and I thought, 'Oh my god, I'm going to get more of these.'

I am living my dream because I get to work with my kids and watch them find their happiness. It's so rewarding - we brainstorm around a conference table and have a really great time doing it.

The strength of a theory is not what it allows, but what it prohibits; if you can invent an equally persuasive explanation for any outcome, you have zero knowledge.

I'm happy to keep doing science and being a mentor to anyone who asks for advice.

The problem is not what we are doing badly, it is because we are not doing things well.

I'm the only nerd with a piece of paper.

There is nothing more dangerous in the spiritual life, than to wish to rule ourselves after our own way of thinking.

Greatness comes from living with purpose and passion.

Anything there is that I can do for you, I will do for you; anything there is that I cannot do, I will learn to do.
