I heard what was said of the universe, heard it and heard it of several thousand years; it is middling well as far as it goes - but is that all?
I didn't like when people said that actresses have shelf life.
At an early school, when I was about 5, they asked what we wanted to be when we grew up. Everyone said silly things, and I said I wanted to be an actress. So that was what I wanted to be, but what I was, of course, was a writer.
A mob is not, as is so often said, mindless. A mob is single-minded.
It's been said that, while growing up, I ate meals with my skates on. It's true.
Too many employers have said that they are unable to find skilled workers.
I rolled up my sleeves and said, 'I want to make a mark on this world.'

I met my husband, Will Smith, when I was 19 and auditioned to be his date on 'The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.' They said I was too short to play the part.

And what, Socrates, is the food of the soul? Surely, I said, knowledge is the food of the soul.
Throughout my decade on the bench, I have watched my colleagues strive day in and day out to do just as Socrates said we should - to hear courteously, answer wisely, consider soberly, and decide impartially.
Everything that Eddie has said about me is the total opposite of what really happened. Eddie says I wanted to be a solo artist. No, Eddie wanted to be a solo artist.
When I was in grad school, I had to admit I hadn't read Toni Morrison. My teacher, the novelist Colum McCann, said I had to. I read 'Beloved' and 'Song of Solomon.' Pretty incredible.
I saw a sign it said left lane closed so I went someplace else.
I said we're going to leave phones, and so we did. We sold it to Sony.
If somebody actually came to me and said, 'O.K., this is it: write your last 'South Park' episodes,' I'd be like, 'No, no, no.'
I'm kinda disapointed that Canada isn't like the South Park movie said it was.
Helmet was joined to helmet, and spear to spear, and jewels, baggage, and elephants without number went with them, and you would have said it was a host that none could understand.
