• What I consider a good part for a woman and what some other Hollywood people think are good women's parts are very different. I don't' want to play the supportive girlfriend who has nine scenes and just loves that man, maybe cheats on him in one scene but will always be there, and I mean - give me a break. You'll be offered the "lead" in this new hot film with such-and-such A-list director, "a fabulous part" - a fabulous part? A fabulous part is a character with a soul, who starts here and goes to there, you know? There aren't many of those.

• When loud by landside streamlets gush,
  And clear in the greenwood quires the thrush,
  With sun on the meadows
  And songs in the shadows
  Comes again to me
  The gift of the tongues of the lea,
  The gift of the tongues of meadows.
  So when the earth is alive with gods,
  And the lusty ploughman breaks the sod,
  And the grass sings in the meadows,
  And the flowers smile in the shadows,
  Sits my heart at ease,
  Hearing the song of the leas,
  Singing the songs of the meadows.

• Throughout my business life I have always tried to keep on top of costs and protect the downside risk as much possible.

• There are those who argue that everything breaks even in this old dump of a world of ours. I suppose these ginks who argue that way hold that because the rich man gets ice in the summer and the poor man gets it in the winter things are breaking even for both. Maybe so, but I'll swear I can't see it that way.

• For 6,000 years, these rules have been unquestionably right. And yet we break them every day. People feel that something is wrong in life.

They want to contemplate the basic questions of life, and that is probably the real reason for wanting to tell these stories.

• What we know from lab studies is that it's never too late to break a habit. Habits are malleable throughout your entire life. But we also know that the best way to change a habit is to understand its structure - that once you tell people about the cue and the reward and you force them to recognize what those factors are in a behavior, it becomes much, much easier to change.
