I actually came to New York because it was very tolerant. You know, it seems preposterous, ludicrous thing to say in an interview, but I came for the anonymity particularly.

Like, my house has a nice view, because, you know, I was on 'Friends.'

I always walk around with a few moves in my pocket. You never know when you may need to bust one out.

At the weekends, I usually have around 50 kids running around in my back garden. They are all friends of my kids. I know all their names. We have barbecues, put up tents, and play soccer. I love it.

If someone's going to throw me in, I'm not going to try and hit a ground ball to third, you know? I'm going to try and hit it in the air. If someone's going to throw me away, I'm not going to try and...

I think you know that I classify science as British science, American science, and everybody else.

Don't pretend to know everything. I've been blessed to work with a lot of veteran actors, and I soak up lessons from them like a sponge.

My goodness, my hair's been talked about by a million people, you know? It sort of goes with the territory.

I don't feel like a dad but my kids know I'm a dad.

The African-American tradition, in the main, is very, very church-based, very, very Christian. It accepts, you know, certain narratives about the world. I didn't really have that present in my house.

You know, this might surprise people, but what I really want and what I'm really working toward is a Chanel suit. I'd really like to have one that I could wear forever - a really classic one.

I don't know that I'm as conservative as portrayed.

I don't know how anyone ever makes a good movie. It's a miracle every time.

I don't necessarily want people to know all my intimate feelings about Tracey.

I want to have and adopt. I always have; ever since I was 18, I wanted a baby, and I wanted to have and adopt because there are a lot of kids. I want to adopt an American baby though, you know what I...

There's inherent cultural imbalance whenever you're translating from Chinese to English. Educated Chinese readers are expected not only to know about all the Chinese references - history, language,...

Do you know I'm a sex symbol?

I think there's so many actors out there that we see and we know as one thing but are capable of so much more.

I'm not an actress, you know. I don't know what's going on. And I'm supposed to be the villain.

You know, I'm pretty much an open book.

I'm just being normal. A normal woman. Well, I don't know what a normal woman is, but I'm a woman and I'm Yoko and I've never changed that.

I know Mick Jagger wouldn't tour without Keith Richards and call it the Rolling Stones.

I have songs - even from my first album, I've always been on some socially conscience/love whatever music, you know?

If you don't know something, admit it. But, try to impress them with what you do know.

I know some very political people who rap, and they say very political things and they'll never get a deal.

I've had a record deal before and I was willing to do whatever they wanted me to do and I thought that would be it. By the end of it, you know, I hated myself.

I have never thought of a full-fledged career in Bollywood because boxing has never left my mind. But you never know.

Because I sleep with him he asked me to audition, you know?

I know what I can do and what I can give to the team.

I know that if I can't move people, then I have no business being an actor.
