My principal at RADA once told me, 'You'll know you're a professional when you don't feel like doing it but you have to do it.'

The most common place I get stopped by fans is the ladies'.

My fondest memories are of watching lambs being delivered.

It was a very idyllic childhood, surrounded by utterly beautiful landscapes that I got very, very bored of when I hit my teens. But being on your own a lot and being bored is good for your imagination. It makes it stretch.

I can't dismiss my roots as a kid growing up during the Great Depression in the ordinary midwestern town of Grand Rapids, Michigan. From the standpoint of money and material possessions, we were barely scraping by.

I came to New York with no money and just one suitcase. I had my family's emotional support, but they weren't able to help me financially.

I had more clothes than I had closets, more cars than garage space, but no money.

I don't want to remember 2005 as a year that the government heaped unnecessary burdens upon American families. Stealing from the poor and middle class and giving to the rich, while increasing the deficit, is hardly responsible.
