country thinking good-things
I don't think of myself as either American or Australian really, I'm a true hybrid. It's a good thing for me because both of them are really good countries.
successful opportunity thinking
I'll tell you what I did need to learn was tolerance, and I think I've been actually given a daily opportunity to practice that, and it's - it's - and I know that that sounds almost like a backhanded slap, and it is in a way because I haven't been successful at it every day.
thinking critics audience
I don't think the audience always listens to the critics. That's been proven time and time again.
care i-dont-care dont-care
I don't care if I don't act anymore.
problem
I could easily not act again. It's not a problem.
disappointment sacrifice joy
Life is life, and one has experiences that are painful and some that are very pleasant, and one has reward and sacrifice and more reward and disappointment and joy and happiness, and it's always going to be the same.
wise mistake new-beginnings
It's a wise man who understands that every day is a new beginning, because boy, how many mistakes do you make in a day? I don't know about you, but I make plenty. You can't turn the clock back, so you have to look ahead.
I'll always continue to work. I've never much depended on anyone but myself, as far as that goes.
independence chance film
Above all, film is a business... Independence is a really cool thing as you can be a bit more bold, and take a few more chances with what you do.
fun mean dying
I just don't do anything fun anymore. But, that's dying, isn't it? I mean, you die in stages, right? You let things go in pieces.
stronger bitter i-have-learned
I have learned that a bitter experience can make you stronger.
spiritual cancer cancer-survivor
I was spiritually bankrupt, and when that happens, it's like a spiritual cancer afflicts you.
art lying acting
Acting is like lying. The art of lying well. I'm paid to tell elaborate lies.
family children home
A woman should be home with the children, building that home and making sure there's a secure family atmosphere.
