I’d love to work with Julia Roberts and Johnny Depp or Dick Van Dyke. I love ‘Mary Poppins’ – when I was little I was obsessed with it.
I loved ‘Shantaram’ by Gregory David Roberts, which is going to be made into a film. It’s an amazing story about an Australian guy who escapes from prison and his first port of call is Mumbai.
OK, I wasn’t as successful as, say, Julia Roberts, but I’d spent years in a very respectable career, some big American films but a host of other smaller, really exciting, maybe experimental films, being paid rubbish but working with fine people, that was what I thought I was known for.
My skin still crawls if you call me a movie star. I get embarrassed. I think, don’t be ridiculous. Maybe it’s because I’m British. To me, Julia Roberts that’s a movie star. But when people do call me one, that, I think, is an enormous compliment but, my God, is that a responsibility!
Judge Roberts has assured me personally that he has a healthy respect for precedent and the hard-won rights of Americans.
A lot of people come work with me because I keep an open set, and people can visit. Julia Roberts used to have friends visit on ‘Pretty Woman.’
I would love to get Chief Justice John Roberts for an interview. I think that would be fascinating, I think that Supreme Court nominees should do more interviews.
The liberal groups spent months raising money so they could take down anyone President Bush nominated. But they have not been able to touch judge Roberts.
The Stamp Act was a direct tax imposed on the colonies by King George III. This act inevitably led to the American Revolution. Just as the Stamp Act did in 1765, Obamacare should act as a wake-up call. Chief Justice Roberts provides us with a similar call to action.
Growing up, I always had my dreams set on being an actor, so I looked up to Julia Roberts, Audrey Hepburn.
I feel very confident that that information should be sufficient for the members of the Senate to make an informed decision about John Roberts’ qualifications.
When I began writing novels, I read Aristotle to learn how to perfect structure, Pearl Cleage to sustain tension, and Nora Roberts for characterization.
I think I can be relatively attractive when I dress up, but I’m not Julia Roberts or Catherine Zeta Jones.
The vote by the Judiciary Committee reflects the fact that John Roberts is an exceptional nominee with a conservative judicial philosophy – a philosophy that represents mainstream America.
And it turned out that the Roberts Commission did not fully utilize the information available and that it came to conclusions which were I think quite short sighted and, indeed, in some cases, scapegoated individuals.
Having been on the front lines of the confirmation battles involving Chief Justice Roberts and Justice Alito, I know firsthand what is at stake when the Senate exercises its ‘advise and consent’ power over federal judges.
I probably would have voted against Justice Thomas, and, and, and I’ve been disappointed by what Justice Roberts has done.
I wanna create a character that’s really memorable… like Julia Roberts did in ‘Pretty Woman.’
I was the lead in ‘Interview With The Vampire’, until Tom Cruise decided he was interested. I was in ‘The Wings Of The Dove’ with Uma Thurman, until that got cancelled. I was in ‘Shakespeare In Love’ with Julia Roberts, until that fell apart.
You can take your Jake Roberts and your Hulk Hogans and your Ultimate Warriors and a lot of these guys that were big names back then, but they never did anything for me. They never helped me, they never thought of helping me, and when they had a chance to help me, they never did.
It would be great to go to school all year and do movies during the summer, but it doesn’t work that way. I’m not Julia Roberts, so I have to be flexible.
Meryl Streep and Julia Roberts act themselves senseless in ‘August: Osage County,’ and by the time they’re finished, they’ve acted their movie senseless, too.
Twentieth century history of Christianity will name Oral Roberts as the voice that brought the Pentecostal movement to be taken seriously by mainline Christianity.
