I remember my mom saying to me that what your friends do is one thing but what you do could be on the front page of the paper.

We always had 'Vogue' in our house. But when I was around 12 my Mom finally took me seriously about modeling and put a stack of magazines in front of me then told me to study all the poses. The ones I loved the most were in 'Vogue.'

Live as brave men and if fortune is adverse front its blows with brave hearts.

Gay marriage has jumped out of the closet on to the front page. Everyone from the president of the U.S. to retired four-star general Colin Powell is embracing the issue now supported by most Americans. Still a few people like former First Lady Laura Bush appear to be conflicted.

When I talk about the importance of the institution of marriage I think of the commitment and the significance of standing in front of those closest to you and promising fidelity to your partner 'til death do you part.'

For the life of me I don't understand what honest motive there is in putting this in front of this body to philosophically debate marriage on a constitutional amendment that is not going to happen and which is enormously divisive in all of our communities.

There's already a marriage clock a career clock a biological clock. Sometimes being a woman feels like standing in the lobby of a hotel looking at the dials depicting every time zone in the world behind the front desk - except they all apply to you and all at once.

Have you ever heard of a good marriage growing in front of the cameras?

I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately to front only the essential facts of life and see if I could not learn what it had to teach and not when I came to die discover that I had not lived.

Ten thousand pounds is the legal value of a negligently taken life of a child or a parent. A cold and somewhat mean-spirited calculation: you would do better if you slipped on a paving-stone and broke a front tooth.

I think people should have the legal right to hurt themselves without fearing that they're going to get locked up for doing so. But on a personal level if someone I loved was hurting himself or herself in front of me I would of course try to restrain them.

I love the work I love being in front of the camera and working with actors and directors and creating something. For me it's like learning everyday.

Particularly for English people Shakespeare is always at the forefront of both drama and the English language. He's always been there. I can't remember starting school and not learning about him.

I spent a lot of years just learning my craft and falling down in front of the camera.

That first year at Universal was a big blur and naturally I thought they were wasting me. I didn't realize at the time that I was learning my craft and acting more easily in front of the camera.

I'm getting to a point where everything is becoming streamlined in my life. I'm learning how to stand onstage for two hours and play in front of thousands of people as if I am completely in the moment every moment.

I think Chinese leadership is trying to tell the world they have another set of logic or reasoning or values which are different from yours. Of course I don't think they believe that. It's just an argument that's made when you can't confront the truth and facts. They really want to maintain power.
