My bosses cautioned me about my candor. Now my GE career is over, and I'm telling you that it was my candor that helped make it work.
I don't think the failure of one film means the end of your career.
I've pitched too many innings and pitched too many years - one game doesn't make or break my career.
Being labeled as someone who would cheat hurts more than anything else I've ever been through in my career.
Everything that I learned in the Navy, I took it with me into the next phase of my life.
I've already been married six times in my career as an actress - twice as Becky - so I think a wedding of my own might feel too much like work!
Lagos has also had a particular effect on my career. I was there early, and although it was a courageous step to go there and invest on this scale - I went there maybe 20 times - it's also been also super-controversial. There's an old school of thought that somebody like me has no place to go there.Because of colonialism and so on.
I've always had the kinds of careers that have a tendency to go home with you.
Having a family has made a huge difference in the roles I take, so doing a show in L.A. is a huge factor.
I was always very grateful to 'em and am grateful to 'em now. I went back a couple of years ago and did their 20th anniversary show. But the longer I stayed on Hee Haw, the worse things got for me musically.
I've had back problems basically my whole career.
I was very burned out after Buffy. It was exhausting. It took me from essentially 18 on the pilot to being 24 and married when we finished. That show was my life. I was doing movies on the hiatuses and on weekends, but I needed to explore and live that gypsy lifestyle.
I wouldn't say 'Avatar' changed my life, but it definitely changed my career.
Breaking Bad' gave me a career. It gave me more work than I could possibly imagine - I started filming it when I was 14 years old, and I finished when I was turning 21.
The first time I mentioned publicly that I had known Viola for some time, many people took it like Viola got me the job in 'Fences'.
I feel like I was blacklisted in 1965.
I had three abortions because I was certain that it would be a disaster for my work.
I made the mistake of saying I was an atheist at one point, when I was doing 'Kingdom of Heaven.'
Any woman in any career has to think about when they have children, if they want to have children, and how it's going to affect their career.
My father was a military attache, so I've been traveling all my life.
Later in life there should not be any regrets. Sometimes you have children too early and regret it, 'If I wouldn't have, my career would have been different' and sometimes when you don't have, you miss that opportunity.
I made it to the NFL and I had an injury, a really bad injury, actually, where I was out for 18 months in football. And the doctor said it was career-ending.
I can't believe it's been four years now, and from watching that pilot, we really all looked like babies. It's unbelievable just how far everything has come. I'm happier now than I've ever been on the show and in my life. I really owe so much of my happiness to 'Glee.'
Fame can take a toll on your personal life. Half of us were in short-lived marriages or not married at all. When you are doing something you love so much that you once did for free, and then someone pays you to do it, it's like a blessing. But you have to be prepared for it.
I was a lawyer for 10 years - a short time, but it molded me into who I am.
