Give me the liberty to know, to utter, and to argue freely according to conscience, above all liberties.
The studios always had their idea of what I was, and they’d give me the dumb-blonde roles.
For me, shoe-wise, platforms give me the same height that I need, but they’re not as taxing on my feet.
I’ve lived in my house for 20 years and, while I love to travel, I don’t dream of moving abroad. Give me home comforts and shops, schools and friends’ welcoming kitchens within walking distance any day.
So I was getting into my car, and this bloke says to me ‘Can you give me a lift?’ I said ‘Sure, you look great, the world’s your oyster, go for it.’

I am a legal immigrant whose parents went from Russia to China to Chile to finally reach the United States and thereby give me a chance to have a better life. I served six years in the U.S. Army Reserve, went to college, have a successful career and have dedicated my life to being a good citizen.
I don’t want 100 different cures of cancer. I want, you know, give me five. So if you had, you know, five medicines, you could do away with 90 percent of cancer. That’s sort of my objective. I think we’re going to do it.
My family is my biggest critic. Since they come from a non-filmi background, they give me an audience’s point of view. They have been very supportive of me.
When I stepped into the box, I felt the at-bat belonged to me. Everybody else was there for my convenience. The pitcher was there to throw me a ball to hit. The catcher was there to throw it back to him if he didn’t give me what I wanted the first time. And the umpire was lucky that he was close enough to watch.
I’m a hip-hop kind of guy, but to be honest with you, I could listen to R&B all day. Give me some slow jams, and I’m a happy person.
I don’t wear shoes that are going to give me any pain. I just cannot do that.
I couldn’t be a conventional commercial actor without being a star-kid. That kind of a big film needs a certain mounting, a little paraphernalia around you. And nobody would give me that.
I write just knowing that I enjoy writing. But if I have to write, it seems like nothing comes. But when I go there for my own pleasure, the Lord might just give me loads of stuff all at once.
I would definitely like to have a family, and whether that’s with a man or a woman doesn’t really matter to me. I’ve already got my friend who’s going to be the donor, so that’s taken care of. Just give me a few years and we’ll go from there.
The ongoing strife in Iraq, and the billions of dollars that the President is seeking to continue that war, give me little comfort that this Administration has learned from its mistakes in Iraq.
My father’s name is Dee, so when I was born they named me Katherine Dee and they took the K from Katherine and put it with his name, sort of to give me my dad’s namesake. But it’s hysterical how often it gets misspelled. I used to be like, ‘No one capitalizes my D!’
People will still give me attention: even when my teeth are gone, I’ll have some good stories to tell.
As I got older, I had to learn to not have people speak for me. It was the first time I recognized, ‘Oh, sometimes people are going to condescend to me because I’m a woman, or sometimes people aren’t going to give me opportunities because of the way I look.’
Give me Caviar Kaspia and give me a hamburger. I love the two extremes.
I don’t shop. I buy things that inspire me, that give me emotion.
I have this little, tiny Dusty Rhodes figure they make in Japan that people always give me in my bag. I set it next to the title and took a picture of it in my bag. That was my big goal in the industry. I wasn’t able to achieve that in his lifetime, but he always believed.

When I run, I think about everything: physics, family problems, plans for the weekend. I haven’t made any big discoveries on a run, but it does give me time to think through problems. Some solutions are obvious, but they are only obvious when you are relaxed enough to find them.
People don’t want to give me credit, which is fine.
I pray before I go into the operating room for every case, and I ask him to give me wisdom, to help me to know what to do – and not only for operating, but for everything.
You are talking to a man who can only play a plastic keyboard. Give me anything weighted and I’ve had it. I haven’t got the strength in my fingers to push them down. So I don’t get a lot of expression on the keyboard.
When you have used your beauty to get around, it’s like having extra cash in your back pocket. I was so used to walking down the street and having the young guys passing by at least give me a flicker of a look. But once you’re over 40, you become invisible. You’re a brick in the building, and it’s sad.
I have really crooked teeth – they give me character!
I wrote my first 30 books as a teacher. I would read to my classes, and they’d give me feedback. I was trying to role model.
You’re always searching for the thing to heal you, and I thought therapy would give me that. But it didn’t – it just helps you recognize your demons.
It’s not that I don’t want to do commercial films, but if my part is just to look pretty, I’m not up for it. I’d do a role that expresses something. It’s not that I don’t want to look good, but give me a part where I have scope to perform.
I’m not afraid of wanting money at all. Money will give me more power to do things that are truer to my spirit than what I’m already doing.
I think, before I had money, I believed that money would solve my problems, that it would give me power and I wouldn’t have financial stress anymore, and it would completely change my life. And then, when I had money, it changed a lot of things, but it didn’t change the way I felt inside at all.
I wasn’t a great student. Just give me a school with no grades, and I’ll be happy.

I watch comic book movies. Give me ‘The Avengers,’ give me ‘Thor’, those are my area. But I don’t watch comedies.
I haven’t seen ‘Himalay Putra’ since the time it released. I can’t say there is any special reason for not seeing it. But I don’t watch my older films. It doesn’t give me a kick.
I have a hat. It is graceful and feminine and give me a certain dignity, as if I were attending a state funeral or something. Someday I may get up enough courage to wear it, instead of carrying it.
And in the future, you know, maybe there’s kids in the future for me, I don’t really know. The interesting thing with me is that there has never been a woman doing what I’m doing at this level for this long. So, it’s like, would Vince give me maternity leave?
When I come home, my daughter will run to the door and give me a big hug, and everything that’s happened that day just melts away.
I don’t feel genres have helped me as an actor. Movies can be of any genre. But if you give me slapstick, I may not do it.
I suffer a lot with mental health and stuff, so I had to find something that was going to make me OK with who I was and also give me some peace and happiness with being alive. So yeah, I’ve worked hard on myself.
When I was in the ring at the Olympics, it was my father’s words that I was hearing, not the coaches’. ‘I never listened to what the coaches said. I would call my father and he would give me advice from prison.
I’m really looking forward to it because it will give me the opportunity to do the whole other kind of approach to the music live that I haven’t had a chance to do. and I think is important for me to do.
I was a PE teacher, and when you teach, you can say, ‘You have to do this.’ It’s an order. That’s one way. Or you can say, ‘Listen, we have these problems, so give me the solution,’ and they have to think about it. Or you can say, ‘Here are three options – which one is best?’
I never liked apples. In fact, when I was a little girl, my mom wanted to give me apples in my lunch box and I would ask for green peppers. So bizarre… It’s funny – I don’t have an apple a day, but I can say that I have a few a week.
Give me the luxuries of life and I will willingly do without the necessities.
Give me a guitar, give me a piano, give me a broom and string; I wouldn’t get bored anywhere.
If I’m reading my Facebook feed, it’s using algorithms, procedures, and methods to give me what I want, or what it thinks that I want, or what suits its business plan.
Physical roles give me a chance to learn something new.
I design from instinct. It’s the only way I know how to live. What feels good. What feels right. What is needed. Give me a problem and I will approach it creatively, from my gut.
My dad even likes to give me career advice. I’ll let him know about some offers about films and TV shows that I get, and he’ll ask me questions like, ‘What’s the money like?’ and ‘Who got this for you – was it your agent or manager, and what are they getting out of this?’
During our travels, the Indians entertained me well; and their affection for me was so great, that they utterly refused to leave me there with the others, although the Governor offered them one hundred pounds sterling for me, on purpose to give me a parole to go home.
