In some parts of life like mathematics and science yeah I was a genius. I would top all the top scores you could ever measure it by.

Much of today's public anxiety about science is the apprehension that we may forever be overlooking the whole by an endless obsessive preoccupation with the parts.

It always makes me sad when I think of how I saw Wagner wasting his vitality not only by singing their parts to some of his artists but acting out the smallest details and of how few they were who were responsive to his wishes.

A handful of older romantic leading men like Sean Connery Jack Nicholson and Robert Redford are still landing parts.

I don't get off on romantic parts. But I often think if I had had my dental work done early on well maybe.

Writing for children is bloody difficult books for children are as complex as their adult counterparts and they should therefore be accorded the same respect.

I want to establish a wide range and play all kinds of parts. It's that sort of acting career I really respect. I like to turn a sharp left from whatever I've done before because that keeps me awake. That's why I want to be an actor - I don't want to play endless variations on one character.

An organization's reason for being like that of any organism is to help the parts that are in relationship to each other to be able to deal with change in the environment.

Everyone has things that they don't love about themselves but I think that as a woman its much healthier and more positive to focus on your good parts and the things you like about yourself not pick yourself apart.

It's also a question of finding good material and interesting roles. I'm not the only actress out there and good parts just don't fall into your lap that easily. But I like most of the films I've made recently and so I'm pretty positive about the future.
