I open with a clock striking to beget an awful attention in the audience - it also marks the time which is four o clock in the morning and saves a description of the rising sun and a great deal about gilding the eastern hemisphere.

I've been keeping a diary for thirty-three years and write in it every morning. Most of it's just whining but every so often there'll be something I can use later: a joke a description a quote. It's an invaluable aid when it comes to winning arguments. 'That's not what you said on February 3 1996 ' I'll say to someone.

I'm so touched that complete strangers will send me a script asking me to be in their film. That still amazes me - and sometimes for a lot of money too.

When I sent those scripts that was the lowest point of my life. We'd just had our second son and when I went to collect them from hospital I went to the bank to try and get some money to buy some diapers the screen showed I've got $26 left.

I don't work very much and I just sit here waiting for a script that I can't refuse - and I'm not talking about money.

When I get a new script my mom will read them and just be aghast. I think it's hysterical.

From the very start of all of this my mom has read the scripts first. And if she liked something she let me read it. She told our agent what kinds of parts that we would want.

As a former professional patient advocate I believe prescription drugs are an essential part of high-quality medical treatment and I supported enactment of the Medicare Prescription Drug and Modernization Act.

For many people managing pain involves using prescription medicine in combination with complementary techniques like physical therapy acupuncture yoga and massage. I appreciate this because I truly believe medical care should address the person as a whole - their mind body and spirit.

No one wants to go back to a situation where if you have a pre-existing medical condition you you can be deprived of coverage. No one wants to go back to a situation where if you get seriously ill you can get thrown off your insurance. Seniors don't want to go back to paying more for their prescription drugs.

You may not be able to read a doctor's handwriting and prescription but you'll notice his bills are neatly typewritten.

President Bush has a record of cutting taxes has provided a prescription drug benefit for seniors has upheld the Second Amendment and remains committed to stopping liberal activists judges who are redefining marriage.

There are people who want to make men's lives more difficult for no other reason than the chance it provides them afterwards to offer their prescription for alleviating life their Christianity for instance.

I've always considered making it legal for Americans to import their prescription drugs a free-trade issue. Imports create competition and keep domestic industry more responsive to consumers.

Reading a script is usually as exciting as reading a boilerplate legal document so when you read one that makes you feel as if you're seeing the movie you know it's something different.

Isn't one of your first exercises in learning how to communicate to write a description of how to tie your shoelaces? The point being that it's basically impossible to use text to show that.

As an audience member those studio films are fun. I like an adventure tale and I also like to go see something that has more of a social pulse. I like to keep learning and trying new things. And if the scripts are good it doesn't really matter.

I'm an obsessive hiker and I do it every day for two hours and it really helps me when it comes to learning songs or scripts.

The Founders believed liberty came directly from God. With their knowledge of Scripture they knew each child was made in the image of God. That is why everyone had dignity value and worth.

I feel as though my career really hit its high point when I was cast as a supporting actress in 'American Wedding'. I thought the script had a lot of depth and intelligence and it really just jumped off the page.

If there is a book that the script came from you have to read it you have to see what you can get out of it: mood back story and things that may not even be in the film. They kick off your imagination and broaden the character I think.

Although Bill Finger literally typed the scripts in the early days he wrote the scripts from ideas that we mutually collaborated on. Many of the unique concepts and story twists also came from my own fertile imagination.

I love doing comedy. You don't get many good comedy scripts. They're rare. But I do love playing comedy. Even in drama I like to try to find the humor because I think it's very human.

The script was just the best I'd read in a long time and I love the humor which I wasn't expecting and I like the fact that my six year old daughter can see the show without being you know protected from it.
