I can only speak for myself and hope people hear my words and see me on television speaking for myself. And hopefully they'll be able to make their own judgment. And at the end of the day I just want my work to speak for itself.

I would describe myself as emotional and highly strung. If something upsets me it really upsets me. If something makes me angry I get really angry. But it's all very upfront. I can't hide it. I'm also loyal and I hope I'm fun.

I'm always amazed when a pitcher becomes angry at a hitter for hitting a home run off him. When I strike out I don't get angry at the pitcher I get angry at myself. I would think that if a pitcher threw up a home run ball he should be angry at himself.

I'm hoping someday that some kid black or white will hit more home runs than myself. Whoever it is I'd be pulling for him.

In all honesty at that time I never saw myself as an author... I was just a Mom in a state of panic trying to enter a short story contest to win the prize money in order to keep the lights on in my home.

I don't know what my label is. I just think of myself as a plain forward. I like to think I have some finesse to my game but inside the paint is where men are made. If you can't play there you should be home with your mama.

I consider myself a product of Alaska. The love and the debt that I feel to my home state you always want your hometown to be the proudest of you.

I really see myself as a homegirl. Wales is my first home. London is my second home - I've been there 14 years now.

If I go into a sandwich shop or anywhere that features 'Today's specials' on a chalkboard more than 10 feet away I have to ask for a printed menu. I smile at people I don't know on the street and ignore those I do. When at home I often find myself grabbing my 'back-up' glasses to search for the better-loved pair I have left on top of my dresser.

I can't drag myself away from 'Final Cut Pro.' It is a digital video editing system. I am obsessed with it but I am always away from home and I can't use it.

I ask myself: Would I have been any worse off if I had stayed home or lived on a farm instead of shock treatments and medication?

When I started editing on my home computer I said to myself 'Well I could be at home studying for a class or I could be at home editing a video.'

When I think about the songs I might record I ask myself 'Can I picture anybody I know back home sitting in their truck cranking this up?'

There are times when I'm driving home after a day's shooting thinking to myself That scene would've been so much better if I had written it out.

I like to think of myself at home in the armchair writing smoking and occasionally wandering down the shop.

I don't really consider myself one of those actors who takes his work home with him.

To be honest when I'm home every day is a Friday for me. It doesn't really matter what day it is for me. A lot of my friends actually have time off during the week and so it doesn't prohibit me from enjoying myself when I am home on a Monday or a Tuesday.

I long as does every human being to be at home wherever I find myself.

I had a go at changing history - maybe not all by myself - I fought at the battle of Normandy I slogged through the Ardennes and I celebrated the liberation of Paris on the streets with beautiful French girls throwing flowers at me. I said good-bye to my first true love and discovered what I really wanted to do with my life.

I do consider myself part of black history.

So I'm OK with myself with history my work who I am and who I was.

For my part I consider that it will be found much better by all parties to leave the past to history especially as I propose to write that history myself.

They were afraid never having learned what I taught myself: Defeat the fear of death and welcome the death of fear.

I want to assure your excellency that I am occupying myself permanently and jointly with my team to achieve a solution as soon as possible to this crisis the principal objective being the safeguarding of the health and life of those who are inside.
