I've always been sort of addicted to genre-jumping. I've never been in the mood to do the same thing I did last time. Hence me going from 'Big Love' to romantic comedy to period film... I can't sit still.

I'm a fan of daytime drama I totally get it. When we are doing scenes that are romantic or will get the audience riled up I feel like I'm a fan in the room going 'People are going to be so mad right now!'

I've always been attracted to romantic secondhand clothes. But my style developed as I started going to these strange raves where everybody had these very definitive costumes.

I was meant to date the captain of the football team I was going to be on a romantic excursion every Saturday night I was destined to be collecting corsages from every boy in town before prom accepting such floral offerings like competing sacrifices to a Delphic goddess.

I think the crux of the matter was that if we were going to become partners in for example the International Space Station we had to gain the respect of a country like the United States and particularly its space organization NASA.

Out of respect to writers you have to read the book in the way in which the author visualised it going out into the world.

Second there are two problems with respect to mobile homes in particular. One is we obviously don't want to put them in a flood plain because if there's another flood you're going to lose the mobile home.

Until we respect bin Laden we are going to die in numbers that are probably unnecessary.

I said 'Brian no one is going to respect me as a mother after this.' He said 'oh no yes they will this is a movie don't worry about it.' But they're not.

I'm open to play for anybody that would give me respect treat me the right way and actually going to make me feel comfortable.

I had never been to a fashion show before going to the Burberry show last month. It was an extraordinary spectacle. I was incredibly green and had no idea what an undertaking it is. I also have a new respect for models because they are so close to the front row and must be so self-conscious.

With respect to Barack Obama let's face it Barack Obama is an iconic figure in the African-American community. We respect that. We understand that. African-Americans are going to vote for the first black president especially when he happens to share the liberal politics on economic issues that many in that community hold.

I have respect for those who make money at art and do it well and smartly because that commercial aspect keeps the world going and running in a sense.

Besides the healthcare bill being unconstitutional and a great expansion of federal government I think if it does not respect people's individual religious views and makes groups or individuals do things that are contrary to their deeply held beliefs there is going to be a visceral negative reaction.

I work on words quite separately to music. They're both ongoing and I don't ever feel like I'm working in a cycle in that respect because it's every day anyway no matter what I'm doing. Then I get to a point when I've collected together enough words that seem like they want to be songs rather than poems or sometimes not.

I hate going out in Brighton now. It's different in London. People respect you more there.

Respect talent. Get respect where respect is due but don't be caught up in yourself where you do things obliviously and not pay attention to what is going on.

Whenever I go out so many people who respect me ask me what to do in a certain situation. A lot of times I didn't know the answers because sometimes I was going through the same sort of thing. But then later on I would think of things that people told me.

I truly respect the people who are working. If they want an autograph from Patti LaBelle they are going to get it. I have never separated myself from them. I never think you are better than the next one.

The country that owns green that dominates that industry is going to have the most energy security national security economic security competitive companies healthy population and most of all global respect.

That's the most important thing to me - that if I'm gonna spend however long it takes to make a movie give up 14 hours a day for however many weeks or months then it's very important for me to know that I'm working with people who I respect and enjoy and that we're going for something together.

There are so many things to think about when you make an album. Like who am I trying to impress? Am I going to get respect critical acclaim? Or am I going to sell lots of records?

I have no problem going on record with this and probably have gone on record with this before there aren't that many people who I respect. There just aren't.

When I was young there was no respect for the young and now that I am old there is no respect for the old. I missed out coming and going.
