I mean music totally comes from your soul.

Inspiration for my music just comes from you know my life experiences.

I had to resign myself many years ago that I'm not too articulate when it comes to explaining how I feel about things. But my music does it for me it really does.

Every day that is born into the world comes like a burst of music and rings the whole day through and you make of it a dance a dirge or a life march as you will.

After silence that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music.

I like to think of myself as a fairly educated human being but I'm a very uneducated actor when it comes to movies directors producers actors for that matter.

I think America becomes more disgruntled by going to the movies and having an endlessly good time at them.

My fans mean everything to me - especially the sisters! When you're on 'The View' or you're doing movies and stuff you're a little bit insulated. It means so much to me when a woman comes up to me and says 'Sherri you said what I feel.' That just means so much to me to know that I have that support.

Each one of my movies becomes easier to get off the ground.

I go to the movies at least five times a week and after a while everything becomes a blur to me.

I just love movies so suddenly you're political about movies and that's dark. It's just not fun when something you love becomes calculated.

What people adore about superhero movies is the signal quality of the Christopher Nolan films - their complete lack of irony when it comes to the portrayal of heroism and the need for heroes to confront evil.

My wife comes with me on all the movies but she is not an appendage to a film star or anything like that. She is a completely intertwined partner. She is the other half of me. Also we're still very much in love with each other. We always have been we always will be.

I think less is more when it comes to kissing in the movies.

Sexiness particularly in movies is the chess game in the 'Thomas Crown Affair'. It's it's I don't know but Faye Dunaway comes up a lot in that thinking. It's the subtlety of sexiness. The moment you try to be sexy then it's not.

My skin is hard when it comes to my music. But with my movies I'm still a virgin in a lot of ways. I'm not used to being shot down for no reason.

A film is - or should be - more like music than like fiction. It should be a progression of moods and feelings. The theme what's behind the emotion the meaning all that comes later.

With the new day comes new strength and new thoughts.

After a storm comes a calm.

New Orleans life is such a night life. The thing that comes up very often is that our day essentially doesn't start until midnight or 2 in the morning.

There is both a skill factor and an effort factor in dream recall. People can develop dream recall skills such as lying still in the morning and writing down whatever comes to mind.

I don't believe in writing at night because it comes too easily. When I read it in the morning it's not good. I need daylight to begin. Between nine and ten o'clock I have a long breakfast with reading and music.

But to the slave mother New Year's day comes laden with peculiar sorrows. She sits on her cold cabin floor watching the children who may all be torn from her the next morning and often does she wish that she and they might die before the day dawns.

I never really drank coffee in college but now I'm on my feet all day and out all night and can't believe it hasn't always been in my life. When morning comes I crave it.
