To be at acting school, it was kind of the first time you felt the freedom to be as much of yourself as you wanted. People weren't going to judge you.
Back 20 years ago, there was a division between movie actors and TV actors. That's kind of gone away. People who have had a lot of success in movies in the past now want to be on TV. There used to be much more of a quality division between TV and movies, and that's kind of not the case anymore.
It's the most unhappy people who most fear change.
Some people ask, 'Why the word 'feminist'? Why not just say you are a believer in human rights, or something like that?' Because that would be dishonest.

Our people could not talk with these white-faced men, but they used signs which all people understand.
Since being in India, I am more convinced than ever before that the method of nonviolent resistance is the most potent weapon available to oppressed people in their struggle for justice and human dignity.
Many people could benefit from meditation.
Astronauts are like these mythic legends, but really, they are just regular people, people who wear chinos.
Facts from paper are not the same as facts from people. The reliability of the people giving you the facts is as important as the facts themselves.
I hate to blow my own horn, but I gave a lot of people fits.
I've been the luckiest man in the world because I've had friends, and to have the right friends is everything: people you can depend on, people who tell you the truth if you ask something.
If you can do what you do best and be happy, you're further along in life than most people.
