I've had a fair amount of experience with snakes and I find them to be pretty honest in terms of how you read their body language and emotions. They'll tell you when they're grumpy. They'll tell you when they're okay.
Making movies is a very different experience in a lot of ways. It's difficult when you're used to owning the copyright and having a landlord's possessory rights - I rent my plays to the companies that do them and if I'm upset I can pull the play. But the only two directors I've worked with are pretty great.
I think how pay gets determined is pretty broad - experience how people look what they bring to the job. But there's no question women are paid less. Women don't ask.
It's good to experience Hollywood in short bursts I guess. Little snippets. I don't think I can handle being here all the time it's pretty nutty.
Sex without love is a meaningless experience but as far as meaningless experiences go its pretty damn good.
Information's pretty thin stuff unless mixed with experience.
We live in a world where equality is pretty important.
People are pretty much alike. It's only that our differences are more susceptible to definition than our similarities.
Many seventh graders I know in Illinois as well as around the Nation are studying the Constitution. I was pretty impressed with the quality of education our children are receiving because they had not expected me to ask them about it.
Being the lead of the show and working a lot of hours - all good stuff a tremendous education incredible opportunity it changed my life - it was a marathon and by the end of it I was pretty beat.
If you go and talk to most people they mean well but they don't have much of a breadth on education of knowledge of understanding what the real issues are and therefore they listen to pundits on television who tell them what they are supposed to think and they keep repeating that until pretty soon they say 'Oh well that must be true.'
When I won in 2003 never in my wildest dreams did I ever think I would win Wimbledon and have my kids seeing me lift the trophy so this is pretty surreal. And yeah I was almost shocked in the moment that it all came together so nicely.
What is the conservative movement? It's pretty straightforward. We believe that the way prosperity is created is when people have the freedom and the opportunity to pursue their dreams.
In New York I pretty much live in diners - I order French Fries Diet Coke floats and lots of coffee.
I box for four hours a week and my diet is pretty healthy.
Unfortunately the client that exists today is still pretty much the prototype design.
The gays like 'Project Runway' because it's a fashion and the gays are into fashion and into design. It's a creative industry and most of the gays are pretty creative in general. That's just like the culture. We're not all into politics necessarily. We're more into the creative environment. I also think Heidi is a big draw. The boys love Heidi and think she's so fabulous. I just think it's a glitzy fun show and there are also always lots of gay boys on it and you know that's fun.
When you say 'design ' everybody thinks of magazine pages. So it's an emotive word. Everybody thinks it's how something looks whereas for me design is pretty much everything.
When we play 'Angel of Death' it's actually a 2 and half minutes sing 'til our party starts. That song is pretty much been played traditionally in the end.
My faith isn't very churchy it's a pretty personal intimate thing and has been a huge source of strength in moments of life and death.
If death is in the room it's pretty interesting. But I would also say that I'm interested in getting myself to believe that it's going to happen to me. I'm interested in it because if you're not you're nuts. It's really de facto what we're here to find out about.
All my freakouts have been pretty private and directed at family pets and/or people I have been dating for too short a time to freak out at in that way.
Right now I'm pretty single... My career is my boyfriend.
I grew up in a big Irish Catholic family. My dad was a pretty rough guy. So one of my brothers left home when he was 15 and found his way to the gym. It gave me the opportunity to go and spend some time with him and work out in the gym.
The fact that religion plays such a part in how people vote troubles me troubles me as a minister's daughter. Because I always felt that the separation of church and state was what our forefathers and foremothers really fought for.
