If you’re a sexy actress, it’s hard to get serious roles. You get offered the same thing they’ve seen you in. People are like sheep, and they’re like, ‘Oh, that’s what she does well.’ – Emily Ratajkowski
I was just learning to play guitar when Tracy Chapman came out. She wrote these songs, she played them by herself and I so admired her for that. – Madeleine Peyroux
When she was 16, my grandmother, Hannie Reed, drove a wagon in the Oklahoma land rush. – Elizabeth Warren
I think they went with the idea that people know the story pretty much- knowing that he’s going to take her when she’s going to go with him. Also, the movie is really focused on Achilles and Hector and their battles. – Diane Kruger
One lady wrote me and told me how she wants to see me get beat up and near death and that kind of stuff. – George Eads
Ron allowed us to see right away the private piece of a person about to become very public. I suspect we’re going to see more of her very private world – Laura’s private experience. I’m not sure yet how public she’s going to be about the actions she’s going to have to take. – Mary McDonnell
Her name was called Lady Helena Herring and her age was 25 and she mated well with the earl. – Daisy Ashford
There was nothing in my childhood that said, ‘She’s going to be first minister of the country one day.’ – Nicola Sturgeon
But it really wasn’t until three to four years later, when we had an opportunity in the lab to make very detailed observations, and comparisons with other fossil discoveries, that we realized she was a new species of human ancestor. – Donald Johanson
The celebrity body I most admire is Madonna’s. She has the most incredible physique – and the woman’s in her 50s! – Elisha Cuthbert
It’s heretical, I know, but I’ve never really been able to get on with Agatha Christie. She is, of course, a giant of the genre, but I never feel that she cared a great deal about the characters. Consequently, neither do I. – Mark Billingham
My first role was an angel in the nursery nativity. I spotted my mum halfway through and shouted over someone else’s lines to ask if she liked my costume. I’ve learnt not to do that now. – Emily Berrington
I used to take my mother to Yosemite. When I turned 14, I got my driver’s license, and that’s where she’d want to go, so I’d go take her there for two weeks. – Dave Brubeck
Adele shattered the image of how the stereotypical singer is supposed to look. She has that whole ‘Screw you, I’m awesome for what I do’ attitude, which I really look up to and want to be a part of. – Mary Lambert
She put her hands around the neck of our production manager, and you know, started to choke him. – David Gest
And then they sign an affidavit swearing that she’s not in a vegetative stage. I’ll tell you. That’s a doctor you really want; they can look at a picture and make a diagnosis. – Michael Schiavo
I’ve always thought – and I don’t even know if I’d be right for the part – that Jean Seberg would make a great biopic. She was in Jean-Luc Godard’s ‘Breathless,’ she played Joan of Arc. She had this eventful and traumatic adulthood, she thought the FBI was after her, and she became a darling of the French New Wave. – Gillian Jacobs
And I love Jennifer Lawrence. She’s a total fox. And such a good actress. It’s ridiculous. – Evan Peters
I find it irresponsible to go, ‘She’s an actress, what does she know?’ That means if you’re a dentist, what do you know? If you’re a lawyer, what do you know? It’s our profession, it’s what we do. It’s not who we are. – Eva Longoria
I’m pretty obsessed with Stevie Nicks from her style to her voice. I like watching her on YouTube and her old performances, the way she moves and everything. – Florence Welch
I learned so much about the toxicity of our environment while trying to get pregnant, I didn’t want to do anything to mess up the kid now that she was finally here. – Constance Marie
Grace Kelly was a very commercial model; she had no interest in being a fashion model. None at all. – Eileen Ford
A cat can be trusted to purr when she is pleased, which is more than can be said for human beings. – Dean Inge
The thematic, psychological, and cultural concerns of a writer are more relevant than whatever literary mode he or she chooses to deal with in any given novel. – Norman Spinrad
When you’re performing, you just have to keep pushing through. You’re human, and you’re going to make mistakes. I think even Beyonce has tripped on stage, and she’s Beyonce! We’re all human beings, and sometimes we trip in our high heels! I barely perform in high heels. I don’t know how those girls do it. – Megan Nicole
