The 20th century was a century in which human rights were infringed upon in numerous parts of the world, and Japan also bears responsibility in that regard. I believe that we have to look at our own history with humility and think about our responsibility.
Being in America isn’t old-hat – it’s where we’re from – but I get excited to be in other parts of the world like Athens and Croatia, which were quite cool. I’m a sightseer. I go see the sights and museums. I’m into that kind of thing.
I want good and different parts, different from what I’ve done.
I went to an ordinary school in New York City with no other actors. I learned to compartmentalise different parts of my life. I was one person at home and then another person at work and for that reason my career didn’t challenge my family life.
And, granted, for a long time, the European has been dominant in certain parts of this Western Hemisphere, but by the end of the 21st century, it’s over.
It’s a compulsion. I’m always changing parts of me. Even when I was young, I wanted to change my hair color. I was so determined that I dyed my hair with Kool-Aid.

The parts for women, you’re either like the quietly suffering wife or the wild girl.
If I ever had twins, I’d use one for parts.

Fundamentalism as it is called is not confined to the Muslim world. It is something that we have seen in different parts of the world. Let us hope that a dialogue between the followers of the three great monotheistic religions could help in putting an end to this.
I like the idea of finding parts that I know I can do but I don’t totally understand them right away.
I take the sexy girl parts and try to give them something else and make them a character.
I miss Betty madly. I loved her. Whenever people talk about her, I get really nostalgic. There are parts of her still with me; I played her for four years and, of course, the lines get blurred.

My book has a lot of parts of my life that people don’t know about.
For me, there is a stigma attached to playing beautiful parts. They are often empty characters whom the action happens around. I’m more drawn to characters with a complex internal life, who have a burning frustration underneath that keeps them going.
It’s very important to understand that the ‘Talk’ piece was not an excerpt, it was an adaptation, which means I compressed different parts of the book and made a new piece.
I’d like to just work – steadily work – and do parts that I enjoy doing.
Awards are always a pleasant surprise. They are the candy-floss parts of our job – a lovely added extra to attract people’s attention. The bottom line is that you want to sell tickets.
I try to do as many different roles as the system will allow me. That’s the benefit of not being in a giant blockbuster where you’re the lead and you get typecast in that kind of role. I am able to slip in or out of a lot of different parts.
I know every note in every song, the whole history of it, even parts that were there and are gone.
Television is a very writer-driven business, and it’s one of the few parts of entertainment where writers are treated with respect, only because they need you. If they didn’t have to treat you with respect, they would be happy to dismiss you.
Laurence Olivier said in an interview once that when he plays a tragedy he always aims for the funny parts, and the other way around. Because in a comedy you look for what’s serious. I think that’s true. Sometimes things are really funny if you’re absolutely earnest. If you’re really serious, it’s hilarious.
It seems that other parts of the world ought to be concerned about what we think of them instead of what they think of us. After all, we’re feeding most of them, and whenever they start rejecting 25 cents of each dollar of foreign aid money that we send to them, then I’ll be concerned about their attitude toward us.
I loved doing all those costume dramas. I didn’t think, ‘Ooh I’ve got to avoid being typecast’ – you can’t ever be dictated to by what other people think. I just do things because I fancy the parts and the directors.
I was born with music inside me. Music was one of my parts. Like my ribs, my kidneys, my liver, my heart. Like my blood. It was a force already within me when I arrived on the scene. It was a necessity for me – like food or water.

I don’t have any ego, and I will go and audition for parts if I’m offered an interesting script.
I’ve had lots of parts in movies that I’ve never seen. I mean no disrespect to them. It was really fun to go act, but I’m not calling my friends and saying, ‘I couldn’t be more proud of this picture. You should go see it.’
I was offered a lot of supporting crazy parts in comedies because that’s all I had done.

There are always good parts. They may not pay what you want, and they may not have as many days’ work as you want, they may not have the billing that you want, they may not have a lot of things, but – the content of the role itself – I find there are many roles.
What do I think of L.A.? It’s boring, with some amazing nuggets. Like there are some parts of it that are great, but by and large I think it’s quite boring.
