I got a guitar when I was six and, instead of learning other people's songs, started to try to write my own, even at that young age.

Like everyone else, I've had moments when I've felt that I've been losing my grip.

I'm a virtuoso in my job in that there's not an actor I can't go into a scene with and be absolutely confident that, whatever is required of my character, I can do it.

Reality is, I'm an actor and an entertainer, and I really wouldn't know what to do with another profession.

I played football when I was little. I didn't want to be an actress at all, I wanted to be a majorette in an Australian circus. That was my ambition.

My purpose is to have American Jews look away from the success story with which they've cheered themselves up, and to have them remember the classical tradition, whatever it is.

Things that are unique and rare will cost a lot of money. Houses in East Hampton and Malibu will cost a lot of money because there just aren't that many of them. The value of sports has appreciated because it's the only thing that people have to watch live.

People still think I'm a bit of a buffoon - not really an athlete.
