Unless there is meaningful change in Syria and an end to the crackdown President Assad and those around him will find themselves isolated internationally and discredited within Syria.

It will always be a battle a day between those who want maximum change and those who want to maintain the status quo.

Change is vital to any actor. If you keep playing lead after lead you're really gonna dry up. Because all those vehicles wean you away from the truths of human behaviour.

One of the advantages of moving quickly is if you do something wrong you can change it. What technologies tend to do is they tend to make a lot of mistakes... but then we go back and aggressively attack those mistakes - and fix them. And you usually recover pretty quickly.

You look at a herd of cattle and well they all look the same... but they know. They all have an individual personality and those personalities change from day to day. They can have their grumpy days and their happy days and their serene days. But it's unpredictable. You can't be off in outer space when you're dealing with animals.

People with high blood pressure diabetes - those are conditions brought about by life style. If you change the life style those conditions will leave.

It is well for people who think to change their minds occasionally in order to keep them clean. For those who do not think it is best at least to rearrange their prejudices once in a while.

I don't think my principles change. I think the way in which you apply those principles to modern society changes.

Some people seem to understand this - that life and change take time - but I am not one of those people.

No matter how many modern parts I do people still refer to me as Mrs. Costume Drama. Fight Club is a studio pic and I've done very few of those. I've got a feeling it's going to change things for me.
