Life has changed enormously and I hope - I hope more people read good things.

I came home after a year and although my profession was only hairdressing I knew I could change it.

I am an American citizen and it is my home now. I like the U.S.A. which is not a place too many people have liked since Bush. The U.S. has a young population and everything can change within a year.

I feel an obligation to set the record straight. Actors that say they're affected by something that it changes their life that they take it home with them they're just trying to get nominated for an Oscar!

I saw the president make the tough calls in the Situation Room - and today our troops in Iraq have finally come home so America can do some nation building here at home. That was the change that we believed in. That was the change we fought for. That was the change President Obama delivered.

The thrill of coming home has never changed.

The environment doesn't change that radically. You are still going to go home at night and NBC is going to be there ABC and CBS will still be there.

What I've learned in my life it's a very interesting social study for me to go back and forth between being the guy at home and being the guy on the road and being the guy in studio and being the guy in the interview. The environment around you has so much to do with your character and when I'm home my character really changes quite a bit.

I'm the type of woman you might say is too good. I'll massage a man's feet have dinner cooked when he gets home. But once they leave the door is closed and the locks are changed.

I much prefer working with kids whose life could be completely upended by a reading of a book over a weekend. You give them a book to read - they go home and come back a changed person. And that is so much more interesting and exciting.
