But I Love You I'm Totally And Completely In Love With You And I Don't Care If You Think It's Too Late. I'm Telling You Anyway.

I Don't Mean To Criticize Anyone In Any Way That I Wouldn't Criticize Myself. I Think People Should Have Fun, And Have A Good Time, And Enjoy The Luck That We Have To Be Lazy And Dwell In Consumerism. But I Think That It's A Balance. And Our Job As Actors Is Empathy.

We Live In A Violent World, But Since The Success Of Films Like Pulp Fiction, It Seems Every Movie Has Some Violence In It, And It's Now Being Used As A Form Of Comedy: Audiences Are Now Being Encouraged To Laugh When People Get Their Heads Blown Off.

New Experiences

If You Read, Your Book Is Kind Of Your Friend, Because It's Like The Book Is Telling You Its Story And You're Being The Listener.

I Think Hillary Clinton Has Made Great Strides In Doing So, Even Though There Are People Who Want To Bring Us Back To The '50s And Still Define A Woman By Her Husband And Her Husband's Legacy. But She Has Proven Herself To Be A Force On Her Own And Is An Example To Us Of How Women Should And Can Be Judged On Their Own Merits.

I Always Ask Myself, Would I Want Someone To Do Something That Wasn't Comfortable For Them Just To Please Me? And The Answer Is No.

I'd Rather Be Smart Than A Movie Star.

I Think That We, Women, Are So Often Defined By Who Our Husbands Are And What Our Husbands Do. And It's Time For That To End.

Young Generation

You Know, I Get Much More Jewish In Israel Because I Like The Way That Religion Is Done There.

I Love Being A Mum, But It's Much More Intensive Work Than Being An Actress - Going To Work Feels Like You've Got A Day Off. Not That I Want A Day Off From Being A Mum; It's Just Perhaps I Had This Impression Before That Mums Don't Work. But They Work More Than Anyone.

I Loved School So Much That Most Of My Classmates Considered Me A Dork.

I'm With My Friends More Than I'm With My Parents, But I Know More About My Parents Than I Know About My Friends. That's Something You Get Out Of Living With A Person.

I Can Sleep A Whole Day. If No One Woke Me Up, I Would Sleep For 24 Hours. I Think It's A Combination Of My Age And My Appreciation For Sleep. Sleep Is So Wonderful. Sometimes You Can Oversleep And Feel Like You've Waster Your Time, But I Think It's One Of The Bestways To Spend Your Time.

Guys Have Guy/girl Relationships So That They Can Have Their Own Guy Thing Plus The Sensitive Thing With The Girl.

I'm Tough On Myself In Terms Of The Standards I Want To Live Up To, But That's Also Part Of My Pleasure: Knowing You Are Being Your Fullest Self. Being Your Fullest Self Is A Lot Of Work.

If We Can Find Ways To Love Life And Be Joyful Without Being Wasteful Or Destructive--that's What's Important.

The Fact That [hillary Clinton] Is Pushing For Paid Family Leave And Also For [affordable] Childcare Will Make A Huge Difference For Working Women Who Aren't As Lucky As I Am To Be Able To Hire A Nanny When I Work.
