I don't prefer much of film over stage... The only thing I prefer is the paycheck.

I am really not of the school of naturalism. I like style, and you can use more style in theater than in film roles. I love to sink my teeth into a part.

I'm not that big a fan of marriage as an institution, and I don't know why women need to have children to be seen as complete human beings.

You express different energies at different times in your life.

I really don't like when things are all polished and perfect - the perfect love story and the hair is perfect.

I love being outside and getting fresh air.

A lot of times being "completely objective" means seeing the world through a patriarchal eye.

Politics itself is so unsexy, isn't it? But when the politics in creative works are really explored - not used as a vehicle - the results can be really interesting.

I was exposed to the arts, but there was no one in my family who was an artist.

I grew up on musicals, and I know they are quite the thing now, but I'm actually a little indignant, because I started taking singing lessons years ago - I put the time in!

You have your structure, but within it, it gets fuller and you can highlight other parts of the performance.

Take away your eyes from your past failures, current limitations, and future fears. Be hopeful, believe in yourself, be bold, and move on...

Relationships based on dishonesty, lies, Secrets and cheats R not only predictedto fail but also a waste of precious timeand energie! U can’t fool yourself 4ever!

I'm blown away by how happy you make me. Thank you for being there for me when I'm stupid enough to think I'd rather be alone.

For forty years, I have devoted myself to the cause of the people's revolution with but one aim in view - the elevation of China to a position of freedom and equality among the nations.

Do not take too artificial a view of mankind but judge them from a natural standpoint, deeming them neither over good nor over bad.

One of the great things going on right now is social media and you get a real sense, immediately, about what people are feeling and thinking.

I write books that seem more suitable for children, and that's OK with me. They are a better audience and tougher critics. Kids tell you what they think, not what they think they should think.

The digital realm give cartoons and cartoonists more possibilities for exposure.

This perfection must come through the practice of holiness and love.

Writing is a wholetime job: no professional writer can afford only to write when he feels like it.
