I try to ground most of my characters in reality somehow. That's kind of what I bring to the table.

In my freshman year in high school, I went to the only public high school in Boston with a theatre program.

I didn't have big movie offers, or any big agents wanting to work with me. I had to go grassroots, start at the bottom and go on 150 auditions before someone finally gave me a shot

The food in Europe is pretty disappointing. I like fried chicken. But other than that Europe is great.

Ultimately in the end, it's the director's choice

We're entertainers, while people want us to be gods.

I wish I was a guy who could have pancakes and bacon and cheesy eggs, but I'd curl up and pass out. I gotta start healthy or I'll be off the rails all day.

What's important is self-appreciation

I love the rush of being creative. I really think I live for it.

For young filmmakers, Saw is a perfect film. It doesn't cost the GNP of almost every country of the world.

We never really felt a real level of respect. The fame was fantastic, but that wasn't that important to me, because for every million people that loved me I focused on the one that hated me.

When it was all overthe centuries startedto roll by and history was writtenby thosewith no storiesmisery turned into myth and figures of speech played catalyst to happiness

One has to look for one's passion. It's not going to come up and smack you on the head.

Whatever goal, man has reached is due to his originality plus his brutality

My husband and I have watched a lot of Hitchcock movies in bulk, and there's a lot to be gained from that, from focusing strictly on an artists canon.

There is a strength of quiet endurance as significant of courage as the most daring feats of prowess.

Winning in women's singles felt surreal. I felt that everything I had done - the hard work, the tough times - was all worth it.

Good breeding is the result of good sense, some good nature, and a little self-denial for the sake of others.

I believe that artists should be paid for their creativity. There's no other industry where people can come in and take what you create for free and give it away for free and that's acceptable.

Everything from a lifetime's worth of collecting things. You know as we go through life, and something stays and ends up on your shelf and lives there until you die? Just those little things.

Please tell me you will remember, no matter how much I do wrong that I had the best of intentions all along.
