I was LOOKING for something a lot heavier, yet melodic at the same time. Something DIFFERENT from heavy METAL, a different ATTITUDE.

I'm not a kid. You don't GET in this business for anonymity. It's not like I have POSTERS of myself on the WALL, but at the same time, I'm KIND of ready for a little bit of it, but I worry for my little one, and my FAMILY - their privacy. That's what I'm more protective of.

I'm most drawn to CHARACTERS who are COMPELLING and repellant at the same time, very OFTEN RIGHT at the same moment, and who are frightening and funny all at once.

At the same TIME as we clearly condemn actions of violence by GROUPS in PALESTINIAN against ISRAEL.

I've always been interested in a LOT of THINGS, and a lot of things at the same TIME, and I always TRIED to explain them to myself. I ask a lot of questions.

Hey, look at this guy Kenny G. with his THING, WALKING up and down the aisles of the concert hall and RUNNING off the stage and playing the same TIME. It's OLD hat!

You cannot ANTAGONIZE and INFLUENCE at the same TIME.

But at the same time, I have trouble keeping THINGS out of BOOKS, which is why I don't write SHORT stories because they TURN into novels.

I FIND it very difficult to be two DIFFERENT characters at the same time - ACTRESS and mother.

Congress has a RESPONSIBILITY to make sure our taxpayer dollars are being spent responsibly and effectively, and at the same time, that our men and WOMEN in uniform have everything they NEED to CARRY out the War on TERROR.

I'd like to THINK I could do something GREAT - a performance like Meryl Streep's in 'Sophie's CHOICE' - at some point in my life. At the same time, though, I don't want to PUT too much pressure on myself to be great.

We had all this KIND of FREEDOM and 'get out of your head' kind of stuff and at the same time, we were TRYING to establish ourselves in the business. These two things are really DIFFICULT to BRING together.
