I've never really allowed anyone else to tell me whether I'm good or not.

Cartooning was a good fit for me. And yet now, years later, I almost never think about it.

I never kept up with the fashions. I believed in wearing what I thought looked good on me.

I never was able to do karate. That's calling me a good actor. I act like I can do anything.

Yellow's never been a good color for me, but it's actually grown on me. I like it more than I used to!

It's hard to get me to even say I played good. That's just in me. I'm just never satisfied. A lot of my friends get annoyed by it.

If somebody sent me a good script, I would do it, and I mean that, but it never happens. Not once. I can't even point to an exception.

Writing has never been like therapy for me, but blogging comes a little closer - I can smack-talk freely and frequently, and this is good for me.

My mum gave me pretty good genes in that department. She had gorgeous skin. That good English complexion. She never seemed to have a blemish that I knew of.

There are certain things that can be asked that get me excited. It's never a thing where I think I'm too good, I'm just the type of person who likes to be enlightened. I don't like to go through the motions.

There's no real animosity, anymore... Me and Paul had a good team and we still are a good team. When Lennon died, Paul said he was never going to let that happen again, he was never going to fall out with anyone again.

I never expected that I would be somebody. I just started playing and when I was 12, 13, thought: 'Wow, I'm playing good.' Then Dinamo Zagreb were speaking about signing me, I thought: 'Hmm, maybe I can achieve something.'

My mum had a very strong moral code, which I kind of came with. I never really had to be told what was right or wrong - I knew. I was very mature from early on and I was a very good girl, so she never had any trouble with me.

I have never had a plan. Things happen to me, and, of course, I make friends who later say, 'Hey, you know who would be good for this? McKean would be good for this.' And they hire me, and if they like me, they hire me again, or the word gets out.

It was considered the most dangerous route in the Hills, but as my reputation as a rider and quick shot was well known, I was molested very little, for the toll gatherers looked on me as being a good fellow, and they knew that I never missed my mark.

In my essay for 'The Good Immigrant,' I write about how concerns about race and immigration crept up on me a bit because of how I grew up and my background - I was quite fortunate, really; I never got the rough end of the stick with a lot of that kind of stuff.

I went to high school in Virginia Beach, Va., and we had these guys - they were surfers. They didn't like me, never talked to me. And if they didn't like you, they threw toothpicks at you. After I did a play, it was different. I found out I was pretty good at something.

With 'Eagle of the Ninth,' every shot was extremely planned and organized. The director was like, 'Do this!' And I say, 'How was it?' and he says, 'Good.' It was very odd. I would never know where he was headed, or even if he was shooting me at a close-up or from a distance.
