I've done a lot of movies, and you really never know. You do a movie and you think that it's great, and then you see it and it doesn't work.

I trained as a theatre actor and you had a bare stage and you had to pretend, one prop and you are in the middle of 8th Ave. and traffic is just going by.

I won and I get to scream and jump a little. But I got to go back to work tomorrow.

I don't see the world completely in black and white. Sometimes I do.

I've always played the guy with the gun and the knife. That's how many actors start out, playing the bad guy.

Before I was even in high school, I had dark circles under my eyes. Rumor was that I was a junkie. I have dark circles under my eyes, deal with it.

To me the thing with 'Grease' was that it was the first movie that as a kid I wanted to get up and do what they were doing.

To be honest with you, I'd rather not be working. When you work, there are all sorts of deadlines and pressures. I like to do one thing and take my time to do the other one.

The very first things that I did, even in theater, were bad guys. They are meaty roles for the most part. With the bad guy you have more freedom to experiment and go further out than with a good guy.

You might get some serial killers who are born with a chip missing, but for the most part I don't think anyone is born bad.

The writer's curse is that even in solitude, no matter its duration, he never grows lonely or bored.

Watch out for a man whose enemies keep disappearing.

As the geometer intently seeks to square the circle, but he cannot reach, through thought on thought, the principle he needs, so I searched that strange sight.

The more I considered Christianity, the more I found that while it had established a rule and order, the chief aim of that order was to give room for good things to run wild.

I may be the first woman member of Congress, but I won’t be the last.

The question isn't were you challenged. The question is were you changed?

I come from a family of fishermen. Fishing is very important to us. We don't hunt. We're not gun folk.

I predict that in the years ahead Enron, not Sept. 11, will come to be seen as the greater turning point in U.S. society.

The greatest gift is a portion of thyself.

Everyone hears what you say. Friends listen to what you say. Best friends listen to what you don't say.
