Pastoral Resources

My role 14 years ago in Richard III - that was the first time I played a bad guy and learned a lot about it - they have all the fun!

My first wish is to see this plague of mankind, war, banished from the earth.

Lenience will operate with greater force, in some instances than rigor. It is therefore my first wish to have all of my conduct distinguished by it.

I had a lot of success from the start. I never really was tested for long periods of time. I got my first professional job while I was a senior in college. I signed with the William Morris Agency before I graduated.

We had an interesting thing at that first dinner. It was prior to the availability of several new hotels in Los Angeles, and we were more or less committed to the old Ambassador Hotel that has the famous Coconut Grove.

Love was not in it for me at first. I dated guys because of the way they looked. And then I began to learn that it's what's inside that counts. Love to me now is understanding. It's giving.

Obviously the first roles that you're proud of are the ones that everybody else liked too.

When you're a girl, passion can dominate the equation, but as you grow up relationships evolve. Mad passion can grab you at first, but it can't last forever.

I just loved the guitar when it came along. I loved it. The banjo was something I really liked, but when the guitar came along, to me that was my first love in music.

I was 12 years old when I had my first job, delivering packages.

There are two phases to a movie. First you shoot the movie, and then you make the movie. Generally, post-production is longer than filming.

I go through a whole process with the actors first, building and creating characters, then I encourage them to sort of live in that character when they're in the screen.

For Scary Movie 2, we had a due date and had to work fast. And though there's a lot of pressure, as artists, we just block it out. So really, the pressure comes from us. That's how the first movie happened. There was no outside pressure: we wanted to hit the audience hard.

The key step for an infielder is the first one, to the left or right, but before the ball is hit.

I believe in sex on a first date. Otherwise, how do you know if a second date is worth the effort?

I live for my work, apart from my family who come first. And I live to tell stories and pretend to be other people, it's something I've been doing since I was 3 years old. Maybe it's because I'm intrinsically bored with myself, and I find other people more interesting.

First round of the tournament being a Major, I think the butterflies were a little different than that.

Superstar was made so early in my career I had nothing to do with it at all. The first time I saw it was the opening screening.

In 1972, I got my first electric bass and started playing the kind of instrument I play now. I found that the majority of musicians couldn't bear that. They are not used to listening to the bass because they think the bass is in the background to support them.
