I love movies with spectacle but spectacle can be a performance it doesn't have to be a creature.

Some quality performances and movies have a chance to be rewarded but it's not like it's a bible.

When we shoot 24 there are so many things I have to worry about from the script to technical things to my performance that I don't have a second to be bored or take anything for granted. We produce 24 hours of film a season which is like making 12 movies.

I like fantasy. I like horror science fiction because I can get avant-garde with those performances in those movies.

Yesterday morning I amused myself with an exercise of a talent I once possessed but have so neglected that my performance might almost be called an experiment. I cut out a dress for one of the women.

I turned on VH1 this morning just to get a little warm-up before I came over here and I think it's just terrific. There's so much great stuff: diverse and wonderful music good performances great looking girls great videos the whole thing.

When you hire that first person then you're a boss. You've got performance reviews. You've got complaints about not making enough money. You've got people who are just going to sell your story to the tabloids.

I'm named after a horse. My mom's best friend had a horse named Brooke so my dad suggested 'Brooklyn' as a more formal version and it just stuck - and now I live in Brooklyn part-time so go figure.

Country was about character. Country's changed because of monsters like Clear Channel who bought up all the stations and sliced them up into formats. Our demographic is now the soccer mom.

With my new venture Club Mom we want to empower moms to feel their value and also build their collective power to make their lives better and easier. We want to bring them together as a community to share experiences and information.

I remember watching the Grammys and looking at the performances and crying to my mom saying how much I wanted to be there.

To reform a world to reform a nation no wise man will undertake and all but foolish men know that the only solid though a far slower reformation is what each begins and perfects on himself.

We need to bridge the gap between the medical libraries and the hospital rooms take the information out there already add to it focus it harness it - and bring it to the patient who was just diagnosed today.

In 1963 and later papers I pointed out that the special market characteristics of medical care and medical insurance could be explained by reference to differences in information among the parties involved.

I don't practice but I am still officially in paediatrics. I keep in touch with journals and I have a very good data bank of medical information and there is a key thing for a writer knowing where to go. I know where to go to get the information that I need.

I have many times thought I did the wrong thing but the reason was not to be a medical doctor - it was just to have the information. But then maybe I was wrong I don't know.

The government can still conduct clandestine searches of innocent people's private information such as library medical and financial records. This is wrong and should have been addressed in a true compromise.

I would like the Medical Society to be one of the resources for information about the influences that have an impact on our patients and our practices.

Developments in medical technology have long been confined to procedural or pharmaceutical advances while neglecting a most basic and essential component of medicine: patient information management.

Because I am not formally trained in the medical sciences I can bring in new ideas to AIDS research and the cross-fertilization of ideas from different fields could be a valuable contribution to finding the cure for AIDS.

Information on how to heal autism and how to possibly delay vaccines or prevent autism shouldn't come from me. It should come from the medical establishment.

Writing and singing does give me some kind of release from the demons of my past it is a therapy of sorts but to be honest my marriage played a more important role in the acceptance of myself than performance has ever done.

Marriage is like a formality for me.

These technologies can make life easier can let us touch people we might not otherwise. You may have a child with a birth defect and be able to get in touch with other parents and support groups get medical information the latest experimental drugs. These things can profoundly influence life. I'm not downplaying that.
