This is the third time we have worked together. We get along brilliantly so I feel great about it.
I ruefully realized I should have listened to my own common sense rather than the advice of others who have the less-than-altruistic motive of making money,
He's also very bright. Very knowledgeable about everything. And we agree about everything. He's my best friend. He's my partner. We share everything.
Look, I'm an actress, Larry, I act. It doesn't matter - I don't consider myself a star like some people. I am a star, I can only do this.
I haven't seen John since 1992, and I'd heard stories that maybe he wasn't too well.
It was great. He was wonderful. He looked terrific.
I do think it's very important, if you're going to spend the rest of your life with somebody, to know that you really like them. Because when the pheromones wear off, which of course they will, you have to have a strong basis.

Only fine cigars are worth smoking and only men who smoke fine cigars are worth kissing.
There are very few designers in Hollywood today who know how to really flatter a woman's body, and Mark Zunino is at the top of my list.
When I was at school, I was terrible at algebra and arithmetic, but I was always the best at English and literature. And acting, of course.
