I used to go home at night and just shake, because I had no idea that's what acting was gonna be.

Domesticity has to mean nesting. Otherwise, six months go by, and you don't know where your underwear is.

As a measure of acting skills, film can be very deceptive.

Some stars like to hide behind the whole idea of acting. But really good actors are not hiding at all. They're not afraid to be disliked, to be a little unsavory.

Hollywood is run by men who are big on vulnerability.

I hate it when people say, Mary Elizabeth, this may be hell, but the movie is going to be sooo good.

I'm not looking at money, percentage points or grosses. This is my life, you know? To me, every day matters.

It would have been easier to fight alone with inadequate forces than to have to accept...responsibility for our ally's lack of fighting qualities and dubious loyalty.

The camera adds a certain sheen to things. Something about being frozen in time really makes things sparkle.

Time puts things in proper perspective.

I don't understand the problem with paroling Charles Manson? I say set him free and let him get on with his work. I have a long list of celebrities I'd be glad to share with him.

I am a ham. I've no business being rock 'n' roll. I've said it over and over again that I'm a classical composer, dishevelling my personality by dabbling in rock 'n' roll.

I feel like I'm living in the dead weeds of hip-hop. I live in the graveyard of what went wrong with hip-hop.

Lo, how to conquer evil thoughts?Easy! One thing, just try -Imagine you are the ocean vast,You are the boundless sky.
