I’m a deeply broken person, and broken institutions fascinate me.

I don't think writers should write about answers. I think writers should write about questions.

As a general rule, I don't plan to travel with my Oscars, but we may have to make an exception.

We think we know what's right. With excessive pride comes blindness.

I was in a cult for thirty-four years. Everyone else could see it. I don’t know why I couldn’t.

We crash into each other just so we can feel something.

We're trying to reinvent Bond. He's 28 - no Q, no gadgets.

You can become a shining light for others.

No man ever listened himself out of a job.

I am a woman in process. I'm just trying like everybody else. I try to take every conflict, every experience, and learn from it. Life is never dull.

If you're not saying 'Hell Yeah' about something, say 'No'.

Bad guys are not bad guys twenty-four hours a day.

The sheik is, thank God, still alive and this hurts Bush who promised to his people to kill Osama.

The first Decline I did was out of sheer love and appreciation for the music. In 1977, it was more about bands, because punk was a new form of music. It was groundbreaking and political.

There is no such thing as a wrong note ... just as long as you're singing along.

When you see beauty anywhere, it's a reflection of yourself.
