Competition is very good... as long as its healthy. It's what makes one strive to be better.

Sure I faced the troubles and challenges that most actors and actresses face until they get noticed, but I was always confident of myself and my capabilities.

I think all industries are sexist in nature and I don't think the film industry is any different.

I don't want to fight aging; I want to take good care of myself, but plastic surgery and all that? I'm not interested.

I loved the stage and then grew to love the camera.

My heart's in really great shape thanks to spinning classes.

When I was first starting out, if you were acting on television, it was a real stigma.

A friend of mine described it this way: When they were born it was like a meteor landed in our house and blew everything apart. We had to just put all the pieces back.

I was a fighter and very determined. There was no way I was going to back out without winning.

It was not really a career choice that I had to make. It was something I knew right from the beginning. I had to be an actress... period.

Theatre is more exciting in the sense that you can actually see the audience in the eye. You know there are no takes and retakes. You have one chance to do your job... and you better do it well!

Faith is a flame of fire.

I was nervous and confident at the same time nervous about going out there in front of all of those people with so much at stake and confident that I was going to go out there and win.

this was an environment built, not for man, but for man's absence.

The tree is a slow, enduring force straining to win the sky.

I think we all ought to be careful about too much generalization on this issue, even as I confess to painting with a pretty broad brush myself!

But duets are a lot of fun, I'd love to do another one

Blessed be, the genius who never knew good fortune! Genius in itself already means so much; what meaning does luck still hold for him?

I don't bat an eye at stuff like that. I've had my share of wins. If I worried about the games I should have won, it would probably drive me crazy. It was a fun game to pitch in.

One thing we cannot put a number on is the number of casualties because people were never connected to their purpose in life.

The American Revolution was a vindication of liberties inherited and possessed. It was a conservative revolution.
