I don't think Hollywood was trying to do anything with me. In fact they lost interest pretty quick. I think I got lucky briefly in the '90s and it just so happened that those movies were the opportunities that came my way. Then it just kind of stopped.

Trying to constantly get yourself into movies is extremely stressful and sometimes just impossible.

I don't see that many movies lately that are actually about something that are trying to challenge something about the way that people interact.

The reason I keep making movies is I hate the last thing I did. I'm trying to rectify my wrongs.

There are a lot of things that come to bear on movies now that I don't think are good for movies. They're trying to appeal to the biggest demographic and when they do that you sometimes flatten out.

I'm trying to figure myself out through my movies. Whether it's big stuff like what we're doing here or little stuff like 'Why aren't I happier?' With every film I feel like I'm apologising for something. I feel I'm most successful when I'm looking for something that embarrasses me about my character that I'd like to expose.

I just knew that was what I wanted to do. I was going to perform as a singer I was going to perform as a dancer and I was you know going to do movies and be an actress. I was going to do it or die trying. That's what my life was.

I think these movies are as much for people of that time as for people who weren't born. For people who weren't born they see how leaders must act under a crisis situation not trying to be re-elected or not trying to check polls that they go from their gut check.

I do love the films I've done in the past. I work hard in my movies and my friends work hard and we're trying to make people laugh and I'm very proud of that.

I don't want to criticize any other designers but I have to say that many of the people involved in this industry - directors and producers - are trying to make their games more like movies. They are longing to make movies rather than making videogames.

Basically there's not enough sex in movies that's it. I'm trying to say it people. I miss sex in movies because sex is natural guns are not.

When I run in the morning my body spends the first 20 minutes trying to figure out what's happening to it.

Ice skating is very difficult. It takes a lot of discipline and a lot of hard work. It's fun but you are there on the ice every morning freezing and trying to do these moves and these tricks.

Nobody has time to keep trying on a load of things in the morning like a teenager.

Every time I get up in the morning melodies occur to me and I start trying to shape lyrics to melodies.

What I couldn't help noticing was that I learned more about the novel in a morning by trying to write a page of one than I'd learned in seven years or so of trying to write criticism.

Most of the time I spend when I get up in the morning is trying to figure out what is going to happen.

But it's a blessing to be so successful within a year it's the greatest feeling in the world making money and doing the things that I'm doing and I definitely trying to continue doing what I'm doing.

Hip-hop don't have no fresh energy none at all. It's money driven everybody tryin' to make that cheque nobody putting art in their albums any more.

It's rather naive apart from being ethically objectionable to assume that our investigators travel around the country with bags of money trying to bribe witnesses to lie on the witness stand. We just don't operate that way.

Because of my unique experience as my mom's child the beginning of my journey was more about me trying to figure out who I was on my own. My mom is one of the greatest moms and so supportive of all my siblings and of all of us being who we are and not who she wanted us to be.

People close to me called me 'Curry in a Hurry.' I was moving through life at 100 miles an hour trying to further my career and be a great mom and make everyone happy.

Trying to be Supermom is as futile as trying to be Perfect Mom. Not going to happen.

My mom was always the supplier of soccer balls and so people were always knocking on my door and trying to get me out so we could play.
