Actually I started to become an actress because I met someone who was just a friend and I found his life wonderful I thought Oh my god you can travel you're free you can do what you want you're the boss. And then I met an actor and I was in love with him.

Until the June 1967 war I was completely caught up in the life of a young professor of English. Beginning in 1968 I started to think write and travel as someone who felt himself to be directly involved in the renaissance of Palestinian life and politics.

I've worked with a band and it's nice to have someone to travel around with but I didn't like it as well on stage.

A travel book is about someone who goes somewhere travels on the ground sees something and spends quite a lot of time doing it and has a hard time and then comes back and writes about it. It's not about inventing.

Be of service. Whether you make yourself available to a friend or co-worker or you make time every month to do volunteer work there is nothing that harvests more of a feeling of empowerment than being of service to someone in need.

Next time I tell you someone from Texas should not be president of the United States please pay attention.

It's life isn't it? You plow ahead and make a hit. And you plow on and someone passes you. Then someone passes them. Time levels.

Every time I go and shave I assume there's someone else on the planet shaving. So I say 'I'm gonna go shave too.'

Acting is a nice childish profession - pretending you're someone else and at the same time selling yourself.

Honesty is the cruelest game of all because not only can you hurt someone - and hurt them to the bone - you can feel self-righteous about it at the same time.

Whether if soul did not exist time would exist or not is a question that may fairly be asked for if there cannot be someone to count there cannot be anything that can be counted so that evidently there cannot be number for number is either what has been or what can be counted.

The very existence of flame-throwers proves that some time somewhere someone said to themselves You know I want to set those people over there on fire but I'm just not close enough to get the job done.

When someone shows you who they are believe them the first time.

I'm very thankful to players like John Stockton and Spud Webb. They've made it possible for someone like me to make it. I think teams are actually looking for one player under 6-feet now because they make things happen.

Be thankful for problems. If they were less difficult someone with less ability might have your job.

I don't like being compared to anyone or being in a class with someone. I'm a teen actress and therefore I'm competing against Hilary Duff. We're different people like everyone else.

The federal government... knows how to put a missile in someone's room half way around the world with technology. Why don't we use some of that technology to save some lives here in America?
