In a daydream sort of way, I think it would be pretty cool to direct a movie. But I have been on movie and TV sets and know it is hard work. I like directing it in my mind. It is easier.

We live in downtown Manhattan and we have pretty big windows that looked right at the World Trade Center. I was home along with Kai and we watched it all happen. I was holding him in my arms and we were looking out the window when the second plane hit.

When you become a mom you just learn how to function sleep deprived and you do get used to it. I came back to work when Finley was three months old and the first few months were rough. Then somehow you learn to exist on no sleep and now when he does upon occasion sleep through the night, which is like a full six hours, you're pretty sure he's suffocating. So you don't sleep anyway.

We stayed in some pretty shabby places in Europe.

A pretty little collection of weaknesses and a terror of spiders are our indispensable stock-in-trade with the men.

I often wonder whether Negroes like myself who are pretty well known help out at all in breaking down barriers.

I messed around in high school, but I pretty much put it away until I did a television show in San Francisco.

A lot of actors in my age bracket look at being still standing as pretty good.

I didn't spend a whole lot of time here, but I had the seven best years of my career in this city and having an attachment here 20-some odd years later is pretty special to me.

The idea of writer as sage is pretty much dead today. I would certainly feel very uncomfortable in the role.

Men of integrity are generally pretty obstinate, in adhering to an opinion once adopted.

The HUAC did a deal with me. I was pretty much worn down. I had no money. I couldn't borrow.

I really haven't had that exciting of a life. There are a lot of things I wish I would have done, instead of just sitting around and complaining about having a boring life. So I pretty much like to make it up. I'd rather tell a story about somebody else.

Punk is musical freedom. It's saying, doing and playing what you want. In Webster's terms, 'nirvana' means freedom from pain, suffering and the external world, and that's pretty close to my definition of Punk Rock.
