One of the hardest questions I have been asked is 'How will you manage the army if you are having menstrual cramps?' I have also been asked if I will have the courage to face criminals. My answer is that courage is not a matter of gender.

If we are to survive we must have ideas vision and courage. These things are rarely produced by committees. Everything that matters in our intellectual and moral life begins with an individual confronting his own mind and conscience in a room by himself.

The only courage that matters is the kind that gets you from one moment to the next.

No matter what you think about the Iraq war there is one thing we can all agree on for the next days - we have to salute the courage and bravery of those who are risking their lives to vote and those brave Iraqi and American soldiers fighting to protect their right to vote.

Real courage is when you know you're licked before you begin but you begin anyway and see it through no matter what.

I love my mother Ali so much. I'm a momma's boy. I just have a very cool mom. It's not as though I had any say in the matter. I'm just really fortunate. She's the most kind loving giving woman.

Sometimes the other characters are too normal and then you start to be brought back to reality but then Luna shows up and she is just so funny and cool and honest and slightly mad and she's all that matters. She is 100% true. She puts on no shows because she is so comfortable with herself.

Period costume films are fun to discover but they're not relatable. It's more 'Wow that's cool - did it really look like that back then?' Whereas with a comedy you're like 'Yeah that's me that's my friends.' No matter what I want people to relate.

It's cool to have parents and family who will always tell me the truth no matter what. They'll tell me if I'm doing something stupid!

No matter how good you are at some point your kids are gonna have to create their own independence and think that Mom and Dad aren't cool just to establish themselves. That's what adolescence is about. They're gonna go through that no matter what.

I am a huge supporter for cash for caulkers - which allows people to make improvement for energy efficient in their homes. We should do the same for Americans purchasing appliances and computers and for that matter new air-conditioner and heating units.

I believe that no matter what you do in life if you learn the basics through theater it will help you in everything else - problem solving communication discipline all of that stuff.

There are those people who are in your corner no matter what you can't do any wrong even when you do wrong. And then there are those people that no matter what you do they are going to dislike you and that's not going to change.

Maybe one day the world will change that we'll be in a luxurious position of being able to debate whether or not it's inherently wrong to eat animals but the question doesn't matter right now.

The more specific idea of Evolution now reached is - a change from an indefinite incoherent homogeneity to a definite coherent heterogeneity accompanying the dissipation of motion and integration of matter.

No matter how many modern parts I do people still refer to me as Mrs. Costume Drama. Fight Club is a studio pic and I've done very few of those. I've got a feeling it's going to change things for me.

Physics does not change the nature of the world it studies and no science of behavior can change the essential nature of man even though both sciences yield technologies with a vast power to manipulate the subject matters.

It's not the destination that matters. It's the change of scene.

A lot of people resist transition and therefore never allow themselves to enjoy who they are. Embrace the change no matter what it is once you do you can learn about the new world you're in and take advantage of it.

No matter what people tell you words and ideas can change the world.

You want to try and bring a character to life in an honest a way as you possibly can. It doesn't matter whether he's a doctor an actor a car salesman or a captain of a starship. If you can bring truth and honesty to that character then your audience will believe you.

In Paris one is always reminded of being a foreigner. If you park your car wrong it is not the fact that it's on the sidewalk that matters but the fact that you speak with an accent.

When I was little I used to work with my dad on the engine of his car. Mostly this was a matter of me handing him wrenches.

It's like no matter what I do I always feel like I'm five years old and I end up in the back of my father's car looking out the window and nothing has changed in 25 years.
