I cannot write music. I cannot play the piano.
I just loved and love life. I love it today.
I never look at a note. I just roam the stage. The people do not want to leave.
I never say a funny thing intentionally.
I respect his talents, even as he does mine.
I think that intellectually we are on a pretty good level. I enjoy his thoughts.
I was born and raised in China, and my parents were missionaries.
I would write plays for my grandmother, who was stone deaf, my mother and the dog, that was our audience.
Marriage, even the best marriages are tough.
My father was a good preacher and had a little bit of drama.
My mother was the dearest, sweetest angel. She didn't talk; she sang. She was a tower of strength.
My strength is acting, and that is not his. So we are not really in competition.
People are always asking for a secret. They want me to give them a pill to take. A pill to make it easy. It's tough.

Great interests demand great safeguards.
I have done what I felt to be my duty.
I now bid farewell to the country of my birth - of my passions - of my death; a country whose misfortunes have invoked my sympathies - whose factions I sought to quell - whose intelligence I prompted to a lofty aim - whose freedom has been my fatal dream.
Judged by the law of England, I know this crime entails upon me the penalty of death; but the history of Ireland explains that crime and justifies it.
The dependence of one people upon another, even for the benefits of legislation, is the deepest source of national weakness.
