I mean the trouble with some of the kind of relationship movies I've done is there's only so many ways you can shoot a conversation. I was really tired of talking heads.

I myself spent nine years in an insane asylum and I never had the obsession of suicide but I know that each conversation with a psychiatrist every morning at the time of his visit made me want to hang myself realizing that I would not be able to cut his throat.

I was watching TV at age 9 or 10 and my mom said that I came from the front room and I told her that I want to act. And she said if you want to do this at 18 then you can. It was a very simple story yet I do not even remember the conversation that I had with my mother. Until she reminded me of the story many years later.

My mom has a good way of engaging me in a conversation about the choices I make listening being objective and open-minded and respecting those choices so long as they don't put me in danger.

Dinner 'conversation' at the Cohens' meant my sister mom and I relaying in brutal detail the day's events in a state of amplified hysteria while my father listened to his own smooth jazz station in his head.

My mother was a personal friend of God's. They had ongoing conversations.

When you're suddenly pregnant and no one is standing by your side even if you're in your 30s it's a hard conversation. I'm a traditional girl and I believe in marriage and I just always thought that's the way I'd be doing this.

Particularly black Americans many of them from quotes that I have seen and conversations I've had are sort of insulted that the civil rights movement is being hijacked - the rhetoric of the civil rights movement is being hijacked for something like same sex marriage. Black Americans tend to have a higher degree of religiosity.

After about 20 years of marriage I'm finally starting to scratch the surface of what women want. And I think the answer lies somewhere between conversation and chocolate.

Marriage is one long conversation chequered by disputes.

A happy marriage is a long conversation which always seems too short.

Women have simple tastes. They get pleasure out of the conversation of children in arms and men in love.

I know it may seem surprising to people but learning dialog that has a conversational flow to it is not that difficult.

I spend so much time with the brightest and most talented and well-rounded people. I've had the privilege of having long and very intellectual conversations with people and sometimes I just sit there and listen. It's like a better version of a class. Even though I'm not sitting at a desk and in school I'm still learning all the time.

A single conversation across the table with a wise man is better than ten years mere study of books.

In England only uneducated people show off their knowledge nobody quotes Latin or Greek authors in the course of conversation unless he has never read them.

Sometimes a character is really based on research that you do. Other times it's just based on your imagination or perhaps your conversation with the director. Or sometimes all of the above. It depends on the movie and character.
