From time to time I'll look back through the personal journals I've scribbled in throughout my life the keepers of my raw thoughts and emotions. The words poured forth after my dad died when I went through a divorce and after I was diagnosed with breast cancer. There are so many what-ifs scribbled on those pages.

I often talk with other actors about that time when you've just finished a job because I think you do take on the characteristics of some of the characters you play. Sometimes it can be a great thing and sometimes it's a bit haunting because you're not quite sure how to leave it on set. My dad talks about it as being 'de-personalised.'

My dad had a personal style which was very attractive. It was quite reserved and quite elegant and it was infectious.

I want my kids to see me as Dad for God's sake not a television personality.

Someone once told me the one thread that runs through them all is a premium on personal courage - not intellectual courage but just plain physical courage.

We must remind Americans that the promise of opportunity remains unbroken - that every person in this great nation can succeed through hard work courage and personal responsibility.

One of the things that makes Hamlet unique among Shakespeare's characters is his courage to face up to the darker elements of his personality.

Personally I just got one of these Vonage IP phones. It's actually pretty cool. It comes with one of these Cisco ATA routers where you just plug an analog handset in.

I noticed that this defense attorney is a very very intelligent man and he's very cool and he's very knowledgeable and I think that personally I'd like to have an attorney like him.

I just really like fun cool interesting quirky girls. And sometimes you find that in 6'2 model bodies and sometimes they're short and brunette. All shapes and sizes - it's really about the personality. That sounds cliche but it's so freaking true!

I'm not a guy who curses very much in my personal life. When I curse it sounds like a kid trying to be cool. But I think there are quite a few people my father being one of them who use curse words rather eloquently.

The sexiest thing about style is if you kind of just take your personality and put it in what you wear. That's what I think is cool.

Sometimes acting is really cool because it forces you to exercise certain muscles in your personality that you wouldn't normally be called upon in life.

I mean the cool thing about the movies is that you get to try on these different personalities and different styles.

'Ludacris' is something that I made up. It just kind of describes me. Sometimes I have like a split personality. Sometimes I'm cool calm and collected and other times I'm beyond crazy.

I like doing theaters. I like being up close and personal with the fans. It's really cool.

My sister has three kids so I've spent a lot of time around children and I've always really liked them and wanted my own. It's cool because you think all babies are the same but they aren't at all. They all have such different personalities. It's crazy.

Personally I was never the cool kid. I was always sort of a bookworm.

Personally I was never the cool kid. I was always sort of a bookworm. I would just like to be more like Troy because he's so cool.

I think fashion is a lot of fun. I love clothes. More than fashion or brand labels I love design. I love the thought that people put into clothes. I love when clothes make cultural statements and I think personal style is really cool. I also freely recognize that fashion should be a hobby.

I would like to do a musical if I could find a cool one. A song-and-dance role is closer to me personally than other characters I play.

I have a kind of boring personal life to the paparazzi anyway and I don't hang with the cool crowd.

In early high school years I was pretty chubby and I spent a lot of time on my computer before it was cool to have a computer - because there was a time that was true. So that's where I developed my personality.

Some people are cool with the fact that their bodies bear witness to this great thing they produced their children and I understand that. But on a personal level it makes me feel better that my breasts are not down to my knees when I'm undressed in front of my husband.
