A just laicism allows religious freedom. The state does not impose religion but rather gives space to religions with a responsibility toward civil society and therefore it allows these religions to be factors in building up society.

The impetus behind going to graduate school was a year after graduating from college spent in Dallas working at the dog food factory and Bank America and not having met success in my chosen field which at that point was being an actress.

When you're starting out as an actor there isn't much food around. I was lucky to have a hit pretty early on. I didn't starve too long.

Newlyweds shooting budget: 5k for actors 2k insurance 2k food and drink. 9k in the can. We only shot 12 days. That's how to make an independent film.

It makes sense that we came up with our public school system during the Industrial Revolution because it's like everybody is a factory worker eating their terrible food and going back to the room where you're silent and listening to an idiot. That's an epitomizing idea getting called 'Nothing' for your whole high school experience.

Food was always a big part of my life. My grandfather was one of 14 kids and his parents had a pasta factory so as a kid he and his siblings would sell pasta door to door. After he became a movie producer he opened up De Laurentiis Food Stores - one in Los Angeles and one in New York.

When I was 19 I made my first good week's pay as a club musician. It was enough money for me to quit my job at the factory and still pay the rent and buy some food. I freaked.

My gosh I love food. If I wasn't an actor I could be a completely different body shape right now.

The term 'serious actor' is kind of an oxymoron isn't it? Like 'Republican party' or 'airplane food.'

Fitness will be a major factor in the first race and I think that will play into the hands of drivers who have been racing recently rather than people like me who haven't raced properly for a decade. I'am not one of the favourites to start with.

One of the things I've always enjoyed is moving around and staying fit. Physicality is such a big part of being an actor but it's also about stillness and silence.

With Alexander's cancer I was definitely brought to my knees for the first time because of the fear factor.

I was horrified when Richard Chamberlain and Rupert Everett said gay actors should stay in the closet. They were saying to people that they should live a lie and not be liberated to live in fear of being found out.

I fear other actors who are not prepared. And I fear directors who are afraid.

There's a confidence that comes from youth and not knowing better. But there comes a point as an actor when you do know better and that is when the fear starts.

Fear anxiety and neurosis: that's just in the suitcase when you're an actor.

Gun crime is a major cause of fear and distress throughout the UK. The problem is deeply entrenched in a wide range of social and cultural factors and therefore not an isolated issue.
