During the election in 1989, there was the first Soviet election with alternative candidates to local government. I myself arranged special training for them.

I did things I did not understand for reasons I could not begin to explain just to be in motion, to be trying to do something, change something in a world I wanted desperately to make over but could not imagine for myself.

My main hope for myself is to be where I am.

I am really only myself when I'm somebody else whom I have endowed with these wonderful qualities from my imagination.

I'm a bit of a tech geek myself.

The method I take to do this is not yet very usual; for instead of using only comparative and superlative Words, and intellectual Arguments, I have taken the course (as a Specimen of the Political Arithmetic I have long aimed at) to express myself in Terms of Number, Weight, or Measure; to use only Arguments of Sense, and to consider only such Causes, as have visible Foundations in Nature.

If I could change on thing about myself, I would: Have better knees. Mine are shot because of injuries. You're only as good as your legs, whether you're an athlete or an actor.

I'm very hard on myself and I have too many issues.

I work myself into the ground. But I think I'm a nice friend and a good person, and I try to do my work as best I can.

I do not think I reinvent myself. Wearing my hair differently or changing my style of dress is playing dress-up. I don't take it too seriously.

My friends, as I have discovered myself, there are no disasters, only opportunities. And, indeed, opportunities for fresh disasters.

I'm a terrible actor. I'm still learning. When I first started, I wish I knew then to trust myself more, really. I was in a terrible panic in the early part of my career.

I used to pre-rehearse everything and then bring my pre-rehearsed performance to the set. Now, I'm learning to let it happen in the moment. American actors are much better at that than British actors. If I knew how to trust myself, I would have been much more relaxed.

I’ve always thought Marilyn Monroe looked fabulous, but I’d kill myself if I was that fat…I went to see her clothes in the exhibition, and I wanted to take a tape measure and measure what her hips were. She was very big.

I walk every day with my dogs and force myself to run a bit but I hate it.

I'd kill myself if I was as fat as Marilyn Monroe.

I for one vow myself to transparently insight, help, and abet youth, both highly contrasting, to isolate any Jim Crow enrollment framework.

I personally pledge myself to openly counsel, aid, and abet youth, both black and white, to quarantine any Jim Crow conscription system.

I knew at that moment I had to make a choice. I could submit to everything that was happening and live a life of excuses or I could push myself make my life good.

I said to myself: what if I woke up, and every single day I did everything within my ability during that day to change my life. What could happen in just a month? A year?

I realized eventually that when I ran out of places to stay and found myself on the D train and in Central Park, I was actually homeless.

I know I am a good professional. I know no one’s harder on me than myself and that’s not going to change under any circumstances.

I see myself as the best footballer in the world. If you don't believe you are the best, then you will never achieve all that you are capable of.
