I hate nostalgia, I want nothing to do with it.

There's the concept that if I do this big budget project, then that will help me do the things I really want to do and bring more money to those films.

If I had to choose criteria, for me, it's about first the director. I want to be a part of something that's good and intellectually challenging. After the director it's the character and the story. That's the deal for me.

I used to shy away from publicity so as not to let it get in the way of the work. But it's part of the job. The tabloids are a whole other arena. If fame happens, it happens. I just want to maintain focus.

If you want to be an actor, you have to do it because you love acting, not because you want to be a celebrity.

I often want to cry. That is the only advantage women have over men - at least they can cry.

I want you to see that I'm looking. Look at me look at you. I'm cool with that.

I was on the sideline with a knee injury and when I came back, I wanted to play at the best level I could. And that's the case for a lot of players, they want the chance to play against the best competition.

I believe there should be no arbitrary date set for withdrawal and yet no permanent, unending deployment. No cut and run, yet measured progress in helping a people who want to be free without an illusion of overnight success.

If you want to establish an international presence you can't do so from New York. You need the consecration of Paris.

We're dealing with sophisticated customers. What's most important to these women is individuality. I have to create things she'll want to wear, no matter who she is.

Everybody should want to make sure that we have the cyber tools necessary to investigate cyber crimes, and to be prepared to defend against them and to bring people to justice who commit it.

We have initiated programs for re-entry offenders, since some 500,000 to 600,000 offenders will come out of prison each year for the next three or four years. We want to have positive alternatives when they come back to the community.

Until the day I die, or until the day I can't think anymore, I want to be involved in the issues that I care about.

There is so much to do, and I want to continue my efforts.
