Irreversible is not glamorous at all. I try to do different things because I want to grow as an actress and I like to take risks.
I say that building peace is like building a cathedral. You have to have a solid base, and then you do it brick by brick. But the process is irreversible. There's no way back.
Like the sand and the oyster, it's a creative irritant. In each poem, I'm trying to reveal a truth, so it can't have a fictional beginning.
We seriously irritate each other and don't want to spend any time together. And yet we have a profound respect for the partnership. We're like a couple of dogs with a rag.
Americans and French are notoriously monolingual, especially earlier generations. Language is a sense of pride in both cultures. I think that the French and Americans are like brothers or sisters who are so similar that they irritate one another.
In some cases, I quite like irritating people who need to be irritated.
When I'm writing a novel, which is what I like to write, I get up early, sit zazen, make a pot of green tea. I wear wrist cuffs to keep my wrists warm and minimize irritation from extended contact with the surface of my desk. I sit down and write.
The IRS! They're like the Mafia, they can take anything they want!
Ms. Clinton, like the Obama administration more broadly, believes that appeasing Islamists... promotes peace and stability.
Most people try to isolate themselves and pretend like things are all good when a lot of times, that's not how it is.
Obama does not like the issue of where he was born.
I never like it when a celebrity goes on Twitter and says, 'This isn't true!' It is what it is; I tend not to do that.
I always wanted 'Sideways' to be like a great 1960s Italian film.
I'm going to do an adaptation of the Italian film, Bread and Tulips. I really like that film.
Italian food really reflects the people. It reflects like a prism that fragments into regions.
I'm definitely looking forward to the day when I stop working - if I ever stop working. I like the idea of keeling over in my tomato vines in Sardinia or northern Italy.
I've always got the itch to play. I don't like sitting out too long.
What do you say to your sister who poses in the nude? It's not like you are really itching to see photographs of your sister naked. I mean, it's just something that is not too exciting.
It is like an addiction: I get addicted to performing and touring. I get itchy and think, 'I've got to do this.'
I filmed an interstitial with Allisyn Ashley Arm and Matthew Scott Montgomery one day. And we made up this weird thing 'cause we had to lay in the grass for, like, ten hours, and it was really itchy. So we call ourselves The Grass Gang.
