To me, it's a little odd to ever think 'model into actor.' I modeled once. I was about as far from a decent model as you can possibly be. I did not enjoy the world at all. I fell in my stilettos quite a bit.
I'm proud to be an actor. See, as an actor, you live longer. Football players, the brain and all that stuff, ooh-eee, that's not good.
Doing films as an actor, you spend maybe 40 percent of the year doing your chosen profession. If you are on a successful TV show, you spend 80 percent of your year doing the thing you love.
I started from B-grade films, and today I'm the number one actress of this country... whereas other actresses, whom you might call my contemporaries, they have had no growth in whatever platform they were launched... they are still there and have not risen to another platform.
I think, frankly, that I'm a better director than I was an actor.
I feel being an actress is probably not half as difficult as being a mother, and I do not know when I will be ready for that kind of a decision.
There's more honor in investment management than in investment banking.
When I was a teenager I didn't really care about music especially with my sister being so successful, I was able to experience it through her.
Nothing will ever feel like winning a Daytona 500. I'm never going to do anything in broadcasting, probably anything in any other professional job that will feel like winning the Daytona 500.
I haven't had the recognition I deserve, You can go back to anybody's career - Ricky Hatton, Joe Calzaghe, David Haye, Amir Khan, Chris Eubank, Nigel Benn, Steve Collins, Naseem Hamed. My record is better than all of theirs.
I like my job and I want to do well at it but I think there's much more integrity to being a journalist maybe than being an actor.
The film business, for me, has been great, but the music business, we've always been on the outside looking in.
I love being a mum, but it's much more intensive work than being an actress - going to work feels like you've got a day off. Not that I want a day off from being a mum; it's just perhaps I had this impression before that mums don't work. But they work more than anyone.
I am a completely different player to Ballack and Schweinsteiger. I admire the careers they have had - I hope mine will be like theirs - but I am not the same.
I have friends who are movie stars, and I think it's just as hard a job as being a working actor. But it's a different job, and it's not the one I want.
I have not planned my Bollywood career the way I have planned my career in Bengali films.
The fact is, I've been releasing records longer than I've been releasing films, or at least exactly as long.
As for the job of prime minister, I like it, yes. But no more than I've liked other work that I've done as an adult.
I get more fulfilment from being a father than I do from being an actor.
It is so much worse to be a mediocre artist than to be a mediocre post-office clerk.
People say, 'Is broadcasting the same as coaching?' I say, 'Hell, no.' Coaching, you win and lose. Broadcasting, you don't win and lose. Coaching was a lot bigger than broadcasting.
It's a different world for those of us who are doing this for a living. Certainly a lot different than my dad had to deal with when he was calling games on a national level for CBS. It's just a different world. I'm not saying it's better or worse, there's just a lot more access.
Homemaking is whatever you make of it. Every day brings satisfaction along with some work which may be frustrating, routine, and unchallenging. But it is the same in the law office, the dispensary, the laboratory, or the store. There is, however, no more important job than homemaking.
I get more respect doing professional wrestling than I ever did in MMA.
If I had played my career hitting singles like Pete (Rose), I'd wear a dress.
