I think, is wonderful about growing older, is appreciation for the miracle of existence, of life. I thank God every day. I also do believe that belief and imagination manifests reality. And therefore, even though it took twenty-five years, I did find the house, eventually, and the man I could live with.
I believe in love and lust and sex and romance. I don't want everything to add up to some perfect equation. I want mess and chaos. I want someone to go crazy out of his mind for me. I want to feel passion and heat and sweat and madness. I want valenties and cupids and all of that crap. I WANT IT ALL
To have ego means to believe in your own strength. And to also be open to other people's views. It is to be open, not closed. So, yes, my ego is big, but it's also very small in some areas. My ego is responsible for my doing what I do - bad or good.
Believe in the power of your voice! Be yourself. Everyone is unique.
Why is it people who want the truth never believe it when they hear it?
For me, one of the most disturbing elements of the right wing's political agenda is that it believes that there is one correct spiritual and moral path for all people to follow. The danger inherent in this is its explicit refusal to accept anyone who happens to lead a different lifestyle, and the condemnation of those who differ.
I'm very grateful to the members of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association who have been so supportive of me throughout my career.
What is exciting is not for one person to be stronger than the other . . . but for two people to have met their match and yet they are equally as stubborn, as obstinate, as passionate, as crazy as the other.
Normally, I would not dignify vicious, mean-spirited mythology masquerading as biography.
A human being is only interesting if hes in contact with himself. I learned you have to trust yourself, be what you are, and do what you ought to do the way you should do it.
Men are allowed to have passion and commitment for their work ... a woman is allowed that feeling for a man, but not her work.
New York critics - I hear when one of them watched A Star Is Born, he talked back to the screen.
I find bringing the country to the brink of war unilaterally five weeks before an election questionable - and very, very frightening.
I don't think I'm tough in a so called tough way. I'm tough on myself.
