I know I have this level of celebrity, of fame, international, national, whatever you want to call it, but it's a pretty surreal thing to think sometimes that you're in the middle of another famous person's life and you think to yourself, 'How the hell did I get famous? What is this some weird club that we're in?'

I'm not saying I look cool, but every single time I go onstage, it is a fail if I don't feel like I'm going to pass out at least twice.

Arthur Schopenhauer

Women thrive on novelty and are easy meat for the commerce of fashion. Men prefer old pipes and torn jackets.

Adrienne Rich

The ability to quote is a serviceable substitute for wit.

W. Somerset Maugham

I would do anything for a part, nearly anything. Being in movies doesn't mean being pretty.

Diane Kruger

Just because you're from a small town doesn't mean that you're small. Don't ever think anyone's more important than you are or has more valid experiences.

Gwendolyn Heasley

Genius without religion is only a lamp on the outer gate of a palace; it may serve to cast a gleam of light on those that are without, while the inhabitant sits in darkness.

Hannah More

NATO has been a thread throughout my life.

Madeleine Albright
