I've always been interested in the history of the West, our country and particularly as it relates to the Native Americans - the original Americans.

My mom is many times responsible for getting us all together, but we trade off at each other's houses. My brother and I are actors and are traveling a lot of our job.

We all feel really blessed to have been with my dad for these 85 years.

There hasn't been any art yet. Art is just beginning.

Create like a god, command like a king, work like a slave.

If a fellow isn't thankful for what he's got, he isn't likely to be thankful for what he's going to get.

Many folks think they aren't good at earning money, when what they don't know is how to use it.

Gossip needn't be false to be evil - there's a lot of truth that shouldn't be passed around.

I think the next best thing to solving a problem is finding some humor in it.

A father is a man who expects his son to be as good a man as he meant to be.

Most smiles are started by another smile.

Maybe a person's time would be as well spent raising food as raising money to buy food.

I would never like to endorse a fairness cream. I believe in natural beauty.

I never even wanted to be an actress. I studied mass communication and wanted to study law in Newcastle, for which I even got a scholarship. But by then, I had started modelling. So, I took a year off to decide what to do. But once you are used to working, it's difficult to get back to studies.

Whenever I get three-four days in hand, I fly down to Delhi to spend time with my family and my dog.

I am a die-hard romantic at heart and love the idea of love. But, when it comes to love, I kinda believe in the old world charm of romance - where there's mystery and intrigue.

You need a strong family because at the end, they will love you and support you unconditionally. Luckily, I have my dad, mom and sister.

I clean my own utensils, my house and I even travel alone. I don't know what the life of a superstar is like.

You don't want your jewelry to make you look fat. A lot of what's out there now does - you just wind up looking like a Christmas tree.

In truth, I am a single mother. But I don't feel alone at all in parenting my daughter. Krishna has a whole other side of her family who loves her, too. And so Krishna is parented by me, but also by her grandmother and aunts and cousins and uncles and friends.

I know most people use their phones to tell time, but there's something very romantic and beautiful about a timepiece.

I don't have any stigma attached to my body. When I'm in my own private space, I have very little on.

I'm humbled to follow in the footsteps of Ed Feulner, who built the most important conservative institution in the nation. He has been a friend and mentor for years and I am honored to carry on his legacy of fighting for freedom.

Well, we lost a lot of our independence already. We are dependent on China for credit. We are dependent on Middle Eastern countries for energy supplies. And many Americans are dependent on the government for their income, health care, education of their children, food stamps.

One of the greatest titles in the world is parent, and one of the biggest blessings in the world is to have parents to call mom and dad.

If we become too scared to confront the chief problems of our time, there is no hope of ever solving them.

What we need is some people to stand up with the courage of their convictions, to do what they promised when they ran for election, and fight to stop Obamacare.

I want to find the candidates who understand the principles of American exceptionalism and have the character, the courage, and the confidence to actually lead the greatest nation in the world.

The message is pretty clear: Americans are sick and tired of the doubletalk coming out of Washington, of us going home and saying we're conservative and then coming up here and voting for 10,000 earmarks. We can't fool America anymore; the media is too good. They're reporting what we're really doing.

The first music I was ever exposed to was Irish folk music, like the Clancy Brothers. My father plays that and Christmas songs.

I like doing comedy, I like doing drama. Naturally I like to do, I like doing dramas, I like conflict, and when I do a comedy, you know, I've found that, like, romantic comedy is the trickiest one, because often it's neither: it's not romantic and it's not funny. So, like, I like a comedy that's biting. It's biting humor or really quirky humor.

I've always liked Southeast Asia a lot. It's a wonderful place, an easy place. People are great, there's a lot of history and culture, and I like the serenity of Buddhism there. It's very beautiful. I find that to be a very nice place to visit.

Those are the kinds of roles you can really sink your teeth into. Characters with an edge. When you're playing someone who's sort of seedy, there's less limitation, there's so much space you can travel. There's room to move in.

These are people who haven't gone through the legal means to becoming citizens like our forefathers did. They want all the benefits but none of the responsibilities.

It's important to air your concerns and fears with someone you trust. When you're honest about how you can change and grow, and where your weaknesses are, then you open the door for improvement and change.

I had always sung in choirs. Even when it was something to be laughed at or made fun of, you know, in school. And I was always the kid who was picked at the Christmas concert to sing the solo, you know, while the other kids snickered in the front few rows.

Music, as many people have said, is the universal language. Of course points are made which make you think about things, but ultimately it makes you feel. And that's why people remember more songs that have meant something during their life than films. They start to define periods in your life, and that's kind of the beauty of it.

Computers and the Internet have made it really easy to rant. It's made everyone overly opinionated.

A lot of journalists like to suck up to celebrities, and then as soon as they're a safe distance away at their computers, they take shots. But that's the way society has become, especially in pop culture.

My family is the most beautiful thing in my life beyond anything else, even music.

There's a beauty in being part of a band, when there's equality and trust.

Having children showed me a whole different kind of love that I had never known. It was something that had always been missing. Complete love. I would die for them.

When people ask me if I have a hobby, a lot of times my answer is that I like to surf in warm water. I like to ski, if I have the opportunity. But really, I like to go to my studio and write music that I want to write, where there's no pressure to come up with a hit single.

My dad is my best friend, my father, and my boss. When I do something that is exciting and he likes it, it feels three times as good as you can imagine.

My ambition is peace and perfection.

The most important influence in my childhood was my father.

On Christmas morning, before we could open our Christmas presents, we would go to this stranger's home and bring them presents. I remember helping clean the house up and putting up a tree. My father believed that you have a responsibility to look after everyone else.

I had my Aunt Rosie, who was famous and then not, so I got a lesson in fame early on. And I understood how little it has to do with you. And also how you could use it.

If you're famous, I don't - for the life of me - I don't understand why any famous person would ever be on Twitter.

I've walked with very famous people down red carpets over to the crowd of thousands of people, and you'll reach out to shake their hand and they've got a camera in their hand. And they don't even get their hand out, because they're recording the whole time.
