Plus you know when I was young there was a lot of respect for clowning in rock music - look at Little Richard. It was a part of the whole thing and I always also believed that it released the audience.
I have always believed that I should have had no difficulty in causing my rights to be respected.
I believe that there is some spiritual entity that's greater than us. I do not belong to any specific organized religion. I have always believed that and I believe it even more so now. I believe that someone was listening to me and someone is giving me an incredibly blessed life.
The Christian religion not only was at first attended with miracles but even at this day cannot be believed by any reasonable person without one.
I came from a family where joining a union was the expected thing to do. I've always believed that the relationship between an employer and an individual worker is fundamentally unequal.
And one thing that I always believed and that I knew for certain was that I could never have sustained a personal relationship while I worked this hard or while I was that driven this intensely by the story.
I've always believed in people's capacity for goodness. I still believe that people are good. What I'm not so trusting about anymore is their relationship to their own goodness.
I always believed in God and Christ but I was in rebellion - trying to make my relationship with God fit into my life instead of making my life fit in with him. I was stubborn.
I was raised on the values of speaking up and making a positive difference in a very political family that believed in the importance of public service.
I've always believed that you can think positive just as well as you can think negative.
What drew me to politics in the first place was the fact that I wanted to have a place to take a stand and use my voice to express what I believed in. But I've no longer got any political aspirations. I feel that as a politician fifty per cent of people would hate you before you even left the house.
If you have always believed that everyone should play by the same rules and be judged by the same standards that would have gotten you labeled a radical 60 years ago a liberal 30 years ago and a racist today.
I have long believed that sacrifice is the pinnacle of patriotism.
The mastery of nature is vainly believed to be an adequate substitute for self mastery.
I always believed in the music we did and that's why it was uncompromising.
I've never believed that pop music is escapist trash. There's always a darkness in it even amidst great pop music.
I've always believed that if you don't stay moving they will throw dirt on you.
I haven't deliberately set out to play the blonde bombshell in my movies. In fact it's probably been quite the opposite. After the success of The Mask I wasn't offered all that many blonde bombshell parts to be honest. I think people believed from the beginning that I could actually walk and talk at the same time.
Woody Allen is really the ultimate. I love that he believed in himself enough to do what he did. And I have that same feeling - that there's nobody that looks like me in movies nobody would cast me as a romantic lead but I want to do it and I feel confident that I can.
It's not like I sit around watching my movies again and again but I've never quite believed actors when they say they don't watch themselves.
When I left 20th Century-Fox to freelance my agent believed that getting big money was the way to establish real importance in our industry.
In fact my mom always told me because I was the daughter of an Army officer born overseas in Paris France that under the Constitution she believed that I could never run for president.
The Hebrews have done more to civilize men than any other nation. If I were an atheist and believed blind eternal fate I should still believe that fate had ordained the Jews to be the most essential instrument for civilizing the nations.
I know one husband and wife who whatever the official reasons given to the court for the break up of their marriage were really divorced because the husband believed that nobody ought to read while he was talking and the wife that nobody ought to talk while she was reading.
At 3 years old I was imitating and doing fun little commercials for the family. Then at 5 I knew 'OK this is something I really like.' At 8 I was crying in front of the mirror and my mom was like 'Oh boy here we go. We know what she's going to do.'
