Does not the very word 'creative' mean to build to initiate to give out to act - rather than to be acted upon to be subjective? Living photography is positive in its approach it sings a song of life - not death.

I like the bad-boy types. Generally the guy I'm attracted to is the guy in the club with all the tattoos and nail polish. He's usually the lead singer in a punk band and plays guitar. But my serious boyfriends are relatively clean-cut nice guys. So it's strange.

My parents were both actors my dad sort of quite early on. My mother acted for a while and now she's a painter.

And I love that even in the toughest moments when we're all sweating it - when we're worried that the bill won't pass and it seems like all is lost - Barack never lets himself get distracted by the chatter and the noise. Just like his grandmother he just keeps getting up and moving forward... with patience and wisdom and courage and grace.

The promos with all of the beautiful women probably attracted some men but the mystery story line is pretty cool. It's got that dark edge and people will watch anything funny.

I'm comfortable only when there's a mutual attraction. That's what anyone wants. If I find out she's not attracted to me it brings down my level of attraction to her. If I'm interested and find out she's not I tend to cool off.

I haven't ever really relied on relationships with guys. They come around and it's cool but it's never been a big thing. I guess I've just been really distracted by work.

I'm just attracted to playing people who are ostensible unlikable. That's not to say that there's something in there that makes you care. It might be that you just find them so awful that you just can't stop watching like a car crash.

Major labels didn't start showing up really until they smelled money and that's all they're ever going to be attracted to is money-that's the business they're in- making money.

Short cycle business are being impacted by credit and are being impacted by gasoline prices food distribution businesses chemical business.

A grocer is attracted to his business by a magnetic force as great as the repulsion which renders it odious to artists.

The attitude of the actor is his interpretation of what he reads and the written word is what creates the role in the actor's mind and I guess in reading the things that were given to me I reacted as you guys saw me you know.

My grandmother is this amazingly theatrical woman. She acted like a movie star as far as looks and attitude kind of like Susan Hayward.

In just the same way the thousands of successive positions of a runner are contracted into one sole symbolic attitude which our eye perceives which art reproduces and which becomes for everyone the image of a man who runs.

It has always been difficult for Man to realize that his life is all an art. It has been more difficult to conceive it so than to act it so. For that is always how he has more or less acted it.

The forties seventies and the nineties when money was scarce were great periods when the art world retracted but it was also reborn.

Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence but we rather have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then is not an act but a habit.

I get in trouble when I say things like 'I'm attracted to violence.' I was a pretty angry kid and I got into military history largely as a way to vent my own anger. As I got older it narrowed down to a more specific focus on individual violence. I'm just trying to understand where it came from.

There are two sorts of curiosity - the momentary and the permanent. The momentary is concerned with the odd appearance on the surface of things. The permanent is attracted by the amazing and consecutive life that flows on beneath the surface of things.

For the last 20 years of my life I've had the mantra to do amazing parts with amazing people in amazing projects so I'm attracted to good story writing and character and good people. That's what I'm always searching for and I don't think that's ever going to change.

This is what I asked for and in this day and age that's what actually goes on. But what hurts me the most is that I work just as hard as any other actress around my age like Scarlett Johansson but I just don't get the opportunities that they get because people are so distracted by the mess that I created in my life.
