It was 100 feet of 16 mm black-and-white film of a car coming to a stop sign and driving off. I had to decide how to frame and light it. It was magic. There was a sense of mystery.

We have some worse scenarios for which we need to prepare as companies. For the moment we're planning for the worst and the worst is now and the car market is down more than 15 percent in France. There is so much uncertainty.

There is a limit to the application of democratic methods. You can inquire of all the passengers as to what type of car they like to ride in but it is impossible to question them as to whether to apply the brakes when the train is at full speed and accident threatens.

There's nothing wrong with the car except that it's on fire.

There's a certain amount of freedom involved in cycling: you're self-propelled and decide exactly where to go. If you see something that catches your eye to the left you can veer off there which isn't so easy in a car and you can't cover as much ground walking.

I remember driving to North Carolina when I was a little girl in a snowstorm to get down to my mom's family in the Carolinas. There were chains on the car - it was the late sixties - and we were just singing in the car. Christmas carols.

As soon as I get my car I think I'll be going to the cinema more. Since I don't go very often there are no films that are a must see at the moment. I usually wait till they come out on DVD.

People and squirrels are very different. Most people will not argue that. But I find that there is one situation in which they're very similar. And that is: when I am driving towards them in my car. Then they're kind of hard to tell apart - especially if the human is kind of hairy.

Everything in life is somewhere else and you get there in a car.

Societies need rules that make no sense for individuals. For example it makes no difference whether a single car drives on the left or on the right. But it makes all the difference when there are many cars!

There's three things men always talk about - women sports and cars.

There was a time in my life when I thought I had everything - millions of dollars mansions cars nice clothes beautiful women and every other materialistic thing you can imagine. Now I struggle for peace.

I really don't think there is anybody in the business with better eyes than Elijah Wood.

At the end of the day there's only a few major stars in the music business and then there's all these people that are aspiring to be that.

Every night half an hour before curtain up the bells of St. Malachy's the Actors' Chapel on New York's 49th Street peal the tune of 'There's No Business Like Show Business.' If you walk the streets of the theatre district before a show and see the vast enthusiastic lines it sounds like a calling: there is certainly no place like Broadway.

I don't really think that there is anyone in the modern pop business who I feel I want to spar with.

Well there's nobody who has a more supportive husband than I do and he has a business that he runs and it's his own business so he has work to do my kids have school to do I mean people have - there are other things in life besides politics.

I know from my own experience and from other people in the business that when you come from a place where nobody knew who you were and then there is this sudden shift to where everybody now knows who you are there's an adjustment that you have to make.

I think there are a lot of technocrats in the business who would much rather work with just wheels and gears and machinery. Those things interest them more than humanity and I wish them the best of luck.

But the reason I became why I wanted to be in the business was because there was Midnight Cowboy.

I think naturally if you're an actor there's a high level of assertiveness that you need to have to survive this business. There's boldness in being assertive and there's strength and confidence.

There has to be a measure of faith. That's what this business is all about: trusting in something that may never show up that you have no concrete proof of.

Kids are brought into show business because they are cute and see truth and they're very bright. But there's a sense of doing it because you want the adults to be approving of you. You want to make them happy.

I'm lucky. The best possible place in the world for training is Addis Ababa so I am home all the time except when I am racing. I like to be there near my family my kids also the real estate business I run with my wife.
