Reading, solitude, idleness, a soft and sedentary life, intercourse with women and young people, these are perilous paths for a young man, and these lead him constantly into danger.
It was the most fun I've ever had on a movie. It was one of the happiest times in my life. I was living in New York, and I really enjoyed acting at the time. Also, it's funny because that was also the time when I went downhill.
For me, painting is a way to forget life. It is a cry in the night, a strangled laugh.
There is less pressure as a character actor. It generally means that you will be acting for all of your life, which is my intention. It is not my intention to just be a rich and famous person, that would be pretty boring.
I did not imagine that the second half of my life would be spent on efforts to avert a mortal danger to humanity created by science.
The most terrifying moment in my life was October 1962, during the Cuban Missile Crisis. I did not know all the facts - we have learned only recently how close we were to war - but I knew enough to make me tremble.
At a time when science plays such a powerful role in the life of society, when the destiny of the whole of mankind may hinge on the results of scientific research, it is incumbent on all scientists to be fully conscious of that role, and conduct themselves accordingly.
I still understand a few words in life, but I no longer think they make a sentence.
The dream, alone, is of interest. What is life, without a dream?

I didn't choose the fact that I was gay, but I did choose whether to live my life as a gay woman-that was the terrifying thing for me. Especially being a gay actress.
I ran into Ellen at a photo shoot. She took my breath away. That had never happened to me in my life.
I really never stopped thinking about Ellen, because I just haven't felt that kind of energy with anyone in my life.
It sounds so trite, but my private life is mine.
I'm living by example by continuing on with my career and having a full, rich life, and I am incidentally gay.
