heart matter spite
When you know in your heart why you did something, and you feel and you know that in spite of all the controversy that it was right, doesn't matter.
actors directors different
One of the wonderful things about being an actor is that every director is different.
real character thinking
Think of anger as a muscle. The way you express anger isn't the way that I do, or you. If you have a good director, you will find that he's getting you to use an entirely different muscle that you never even knew you had - it's real hard and sore, then after a while it becomes normal. And you discover all these new muscles when you enter a new character - that's what a director does for you.
integrity thinking
I'd like to think that I have integrity.
writing scary up-to-you
Movies are collective, cooperative endeavours, which I like a lot. But writing is all up to you, it's what's so scary; it's just you and that page. But I really like it a lot.
names trying nuance
Mostly actors are progressive because we are accustomed to all the nuances of human life, whereas dictators just try to flatten it all out. So we usually try to stand up to dictators like, well, we won't mention names.
war speech firsts
I never would've imagined in the first part of my life that I could've stood up and said anything. The war in Vietnam changed me. I was so angry. Some of my speeches probably weren't well considered.

My identity depended on men for so long. You can be successful and still have the feeling that if you're not with a man you don't exist.
acting feminism way
I knew that my newfound activism and feminism was going to improve my acting, because I was seeing things not just in very narrow, individual, kind of Freudian terms, but seeing them in a much broader, societal way that was going to deepen and enrich my talent.
laugh
Yeah, but I can look at it now and laugh at it, and find it very charming,
accept age birth educated girls longer money nation neither nor time waste
We can no longer waste time and money. Every day, more than 2,000 girls in America, age 15-19, give birth - in the wealthiest, most educated nation in the world! Neither you nor I should accept this statistic.
determine presents
What we view in the media - and who presents it to us - does so much to determine how we think, how we feel about ourselves, and how we view the world.
wing
what the right wing has done to Sheehan is despicable.
cheap incapable leaves life love showing spends telling
I don't want to make a cheap analysis, but when you have, like I did, a father incapable of showing emotion, who spends his life telling you that no one will love you if you aren't perfect, it leaves scars.
