- ¦I was really tested, but afterwards I was euphoric, because I thought, ‘wow, I just had to fly by the seat of my pants, interview the president of The United States. I didn’t ask him about his favorite color or his favorite meal at the White House - I actually talked to him about real things, and I survived. Phew!’
- Just the fact that no woman has done it, it makes it feel unreachable to some women. You know, like, ‘oh, no woman’s ever done it, so obviously I can’t do it.’ Instead of thinking, ‘no woman’s ever done it, I want to be the one to do it,’ which is the attitude that I took.
- What’s with the poverty Tourette’s? Why do these two think we need a hobo for president?
- Dreams are lovely, but they are just dreams. Fleeting, ephemeral, pretty. But dreams do not come true just because you dream them. It's hard work that makes things happen. It's hard work that creates change.
- I was never going to help [Kevin Spacey with House of Cards]. He kept asking me, and I wouldn’t help him - until I found out he played a Democrat, so I told him to come on in, I’d give him any advice.
- Now, there are roles which are capturing a vibrant moment in an older woman’s life. There was a time when those interesting roles stopped at 28. A few years ago we would have been finished by our age.
- When you are giving a certain portion of your life to people and you’re selling it sexually, you’re selling it sensually, and you’re selling it romantically - for you to then take that portion that you give only to fans away and to give it to one person, it kind of… if they don’t approve, it might be crickets for me.
- Ruling is hard. This was maybe my answer to Tolkien, whom, as much as I admire him, I do quibble with. Lord of the Rings had a very medieval philosophy: that if the king was a good man, the land would prosper. We look at real history and it's not that simple…Real-life kings had real-life problems to deal with…. My people who are trying to rule don't have an easy time of it. Just having good intentions doesn't make you a wise king.
- Let's face it, Fox News, you'll miss me when I'm gone. It'll be harder to convince the public that Hillary Clinton was born in Kenya.
- It's the one thing we can all relate to no matter what religion, what color, what nationality: we can all relate to sex and love.
- It's about finding what's next. I'm hesitant to let people know what producers I'm f---ing with, what I'm rapping about. I'd rather drop that winning hand out of nowhere.
- The only reason [being called a thug] bothers me is because it seems like it's the accepted way of calling somebody the N-word nowadays.
