I recently took up ice sculpting. Last night I made an ice cube. This morning I made 12, I was prolific.

My mother was a professional sick person; she took a lot of pain pills. There are many people like that. It's just how they are used to getting attention. I always remember she's the daughter of alcoholics who'd leave her alone at Christmas time.

I never took a day off in my twenties. Not one. And I'm still fanatical, but now I'm a little less fanatical.

They made us many promises, more than I can remember, but they never kept but one; they promised to take our land, and they took it.

I made decisions that I regret, and I took them as learning experiences... I'm human, not perfect, like anybody else.

The things that have happened for me, to me, have helped me grow up. Especially the passing of my father. That was something that took me to another level of growing and maturing. That's whan I started to be more of a man.

I was changing a light bulb over Groucho Marx's bed, so I took my shoes off, got on his bed and changed the bulb. When I got off the bed he said: 'That's the best acting you've ever done.'

When you sit down and focus on the matches and series that took place during the 12 month period it strikes you just how broad the talent pool is in international cricket is today.

It took a lot of years of me on my own, coaching myself, to look in the mirror and love the reflection.

I love who I am, and I encourage other people to love and embrace who they are. But it definitely wasn't easy - it took me a while.

The only exercise I take is walking behind the coffins of friends who took exercise.

I stopped believing in Santa Claus when I was six. Mother took me to see him in a department store and he asked for my autograph.

I attribute my success to this - I never gave or took any excuse.

I'm a Slovak. And when I was growing up, I believed that I was Czechoslovakian because of what Russia did. They came in and took two separate countries - Slovakia and the Czech Republic - put them together as one.

Every opportunity I got, I took it as a learning experience.

Some weasel took the cork out of my lunch.

Always remember, the goals that we have achieved pale in comparison to the daily commitments it took to get there.

The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people. And so long as men die, liberty will never perish.

I've been doing my job for a long time and I never really thought about being an actress or being anything like that. I was always a bit scared as well because of the thing about models becoming an actress and all that. I just never really took it seriously.

I took a deep breath and listened to the old bray of my heart. I am. I am. I am.
