In my downtime, I love eating. It’s pretty much my favorite hobby. Discovering new restaurants and revisiting consistent favorites is one of my top things to do when not filming.

The point of theatre is transformation: to make an extraordinary event out of ordinary material right in front of an audience’s eyes. Where the germ of the idea came from is pretty much irrelevant. What...

But I got an audience that knows what I do. They usually show up, so I usually do pretty good.

It seemed like whenever I got a bona fide offer from Ferrari, I couldn’t do it. And vice versa – when I was ready, their seats were taken. We always had a relationship, but what’s...

My relationship with my father is pretty non-existent.

Adopting big-business practices is one thing, and adopting agribusiness practices that would dilute the meaning of ‘organic’ is another. On the whole, I think we’re doing a pretty good job of preserving the integrity of...

I love writing poetry because it’s pretty. I love writing pretty.

I grew up speaking Spanish and English. My mother can speak Spanish, English, French and Italian, and she’s pretty good at faking Portuguese. I wish that I spoke more languages than I do.

Well I guess the plan was to write poetry and publish books and make a living from writing poetry. That was a pretty ambitious plan I guess.

My life is okay, my life is pretty good.

The competition is pretty rough these days.

For a woman who’s a widow and pretty much a loner, I can walk out, and I’m surrounded by NYU kids. The energy jumps off the sidewalks, and I never feel sad or bored.

So pretty much, to sum it up, if you can freak someone out and bring that kind of emotion out of somebody with a song, you’re doing something right.

Growing up in Europe, tight clothing is pretty standard. When I got to college, clothes were loose, so I was going toward more loose stuff. As soon as I got back to New York, I...

I’ve been listening to a lot of Hollies stuff lately, and it’s beginning to sound pretty good to me.

I am convinced that “all ladies are not the same”. Some have pretty faces, others have beautiful characters. Some have facial make-ups, others have mental make-ups!

Drama school is a pretty intense experience, and I think it changes who you are.

The mass culture of childhood right now is astonishingly technical. Little kids know their Unix path punctuation so they can get around the Web, and they know their HTML and stuff. It’s pretty shocking to...

The Democratic Party has pretty much abandoned all the things that they cherish.

We picked the Red Sox because they lose. If you root for something that loses for 86 years, you’re a pretty good fan. You don’t have to win everything to be a fan of something.

I would say things like ‘I am the greatest! I’m pretty! If you talk jive, you’ll drop in five! I float like a butterfly, sting like a bee! I’m pretty!’ When white people heard me...

When I was in college, all the pretty women were in the theatre, so I auditioned for a play.

Mobile devices are kind of at the opposite end of PCs, in that PCs are pretty open and you can do a fair amount with them, but many mobile devices aren’t.

If I’m working as an engineer for another band, the responsibility for brilliance pretty much rests on their shoulders. I think I’m pretty good, but I’m not good enough to turn a trout into a...

I deliberately returned slowly to training after Raphael was born and everything, apart from being bitten by a dog whilst out training in Monaco at the beginning of the year, has gone pretty well.

There is a huge difference between writing a book, which is a private activity I engage in with myself, and wanting to engage in overly intimate personal conversations with strangers, which I pretty much never...

David Lynch was very good, very patient with us, and the reaction in the United States seems pretty good.

And George Brett. I think most people know that George and I have become pretty good friends over the years.

Yeah, you know, within the context of TV families, these are pretty unsavory characters.

At this point in my career, I don’t have to deal with audition rejections. So I get my rejection from other things. My children can make me feel rejected. They can humble you pretty quick.

I’m pretty obsessive-compulsive, and I’m very fast. I tend to not write for a long period of time until I can’t not write, and then I write first drafts in gallops. I won’t eat right....

Some people say I’m not a very pretty woman, but I’m a very beautiful woman inside.

I’m real bent on dialogue. I’m just a little bit crazy and when you put that along with 20 years as a criminal lawyer, it’s pretty easy to come up with some interesting plots.

Not to be mean about it, but some great rock and rollers, like Bo Diddley and Chuck Berry, are pretty one-dimensional.

People are prettiest when they smile with joy.

I didn’t like the idea of being foolish, but I learned pretty soon that it was essential to fail and be foolish.

I’m a pretty open book.

You go through stages in your career that you feel very good about yourself. Then you feel awful, like, ‘Why didn’t I choose something else?’ But overall I’m pretty satisfied that I made the right...

Growing up in Texas, you were either pretty or smart. Smart didn’t get you very far, because there weren’t too many job opportunities for women. I wondered why you couldn’t be both.

Runners, by nature, are intentional people and normally pretty light on our feet.

I am pretty controlled I have to say.

We all get old, but I always say the skinny, pretty girls will be screwed.

Eye-popping tales of growing income inequality are hardly new. By now, nearly every American must be painfully aware of the widening pay gap between top executives and shop floor laborers; between ‘Master of the Universe’...

Let’s face it, the Obama administration was handed a pretty poor deal from the previous administration.

I’ll bet you a six-pack of Coors that pretty soon, people will be discovering Cretaceous parasites inside Cretaceous bones. The possibility of looking into epidemiology and pathology is pretty cool.

I don’t know much about climate change. But I’m pretty sure we better figure out what to do to lessen its impact – at least its health impact – and that’s not going to happen...

I just have a respect for my audience. That seems to be pretty logical.

My style is definitely schizophrenic; it does change from day to day a lot. It depends on my mood: sometimes I’ll be going through a girly, childlike stage and wear a pretty lace dress with...

I did have a child, and I was reading a lot of picture books to her, but at the same time writing a children’s book was something that I’d been wanting to do for many...

I am pretty sarcastic and pretty dry.
