1. I think I am a writer, but professionally I feel drawn to and suited for directing.
2. I feel very privileged that I get to spend my life telling stories that mean something to people.
3. I guess you should approach the roles differently when they're actual people who have been, this is the difference. Getting the accent exact, or the hair exact is less important in a situation like this.
4. As a director, I get to have a much broader creative expression than as an actress.
5. In this case they're doctors. But having passion for your work and to take risks in order to better human kind. That's a pretty big theme. It's pretty inspiring.
6. And that's what's beautiful to me, is he did not become a victim of it, and he didn't become a statistic, he just kind of kept on marching through, no matter what people threw at him.
7. I think she looked at Vivien the same way. Of course you can. You know. And, and yet with great respect, because she knew how hard it must have been. And that it was even harder for him, of course, than for her.
8. I don't read reviews. There's no value for me in reading them. Whether they're good or bad, they'll just make me self-conscious.
9. On the other hand, there are only so many people who really knew how she was exactly, like what did her accent sound like, and the fact that she developed profound deafness when she was first running the Harriet Lane.
10. I just always loved to sing, but I was always too chicken. I got a wonderful singing teacher in Los Angeles, and I would sneak into his studio and work on technique and sing songs and skulk out, and that was as far as I got. That was years ago, so I finally said to my agent: "I think I need to try the singing thing." And they're like: "What? You can sing? You've been working how many years and you never told anybody this?" So I auditioned and somehow ended up here. I don't know how it happened.
11. She came up with a whole way of doing fluoroscopy, which is kind of like a live version of X-ray, so that she could see the heart as it worked, not frozen in a picture.
12. You know, in playing a role like this, you really want to get it right, because this is a person who was revered by so many doctors, women doctors especially.
13. (on her musical debut) This is a move directly from my shower onto the stage, from singing in my shower to Broadway.
15. Since I was a child, I've liked telling stories. Maybe because my father's a director, I grew up loving stories. I'm not good at spinning them at a dinner table because I do go on a bit, but I love writing them, and directing is just a way of editing the story.
16. Just the actual physical ability to hold four instruments simultaneously and do some of the things that Vivien was able to do is mind blowing to any surgeon. He never went to medical school and he became one of the great teachers of medicine himself, people are just amazed.
17. What is more important is finding the soul of the character, and making sure it fits well into this story. And that it be dramatic and interesting and captivating, because these people weren't entertainers, you know.
18. I learn a lot from acting, but it's not my natural way. I can't help but write; I do it all the time. It's a condition of being for me. I think I am a writer, but professionally I feel drawn to and suited for directing. As far as producing, I like to facilitate other people's good work. With acting I like to be in ensemble pieces.
19. The fact that he didn't get credit for a while is more the story of social injustice. But his own spirit wasn't driven by that, and wasn't dependent upon that. He just wished he had the cash to go to medical school.
20. (on why she stepped behind the camera) I love film sets, but I don't necessarily love being the center of attention. As a director, I get to have a much broader creative expression than as an actress. I'm not just blond and 5 ft. 4 in.
21. I'd like to think Helen very much understood what it was to be disadvantaged in the medical field. And that that was something that she never let dictate her choices.

American actress, model and TV personality Traci Bingham, best known for playing Jordan Tate on the hit series "Baywatch" between 1996 and 1998, has definitely had plastic surgery to move ahead in her career.
Judging by the before and after photos, Traci's breasts are significantly larger and rounder than before, an indication of oversized breast augmentation.
The actress got over the top lip injections as her lips look now fuller, more plump and luscious than they used to.
Bingham's original nose was noticeably bigger and wider than her current nose. There is no doubt that a nose job is performed. Traci's nose job is well executed, though, as it fits perfectly with the rest of her facial features and doesn't seem tiny and way too narrow, which is often a tell tale sign of a botched nose job.
It appears that Bingham also uses often botox injections as her skin still looks wrinkle-free and youthful for a woman her age.
Celebrity watchers and several plastic surgeons believe that the "Baywatch" star had at least one boob job as well as at least one nose job to help her nasal tip seem thinner and more pointed rather than bulbous and round.
Manhattan plastic surgeon Dr. David Shafer was quoted as saying: "Traci Bingham does not seem shy about her implants. In many pictures, they appear asymmetric with possible development of contracture on her left. Additionally, when comparing the before and after pictures, she does appear to have refinement of her nasal tip, narrowing of her nose and alar base resection. Finally, she has gone a bit overboard with the lip injections - I just hope it is not a permanent filler."
Paul S. Nassif, a Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon and Rhinoplasty Specialist in Beverly Hills, California, explained: "Traci is a naturally beautiful woman but it is evident she had some work done. Her lips have more than likely been treated with filler, and noticeably more plump than they were before. Traci's nose appears much smaller in her more recent photos. The tip is a great deal softer and significantly less bulbous than it was which is an improvement. And the bridge looks like it was narrowed quite a bit, creating a nose that may not look as natural as it could having been a bit more conservative. She still looks amazing. But in her case, less may be more."
Plastic surgeon Dr. Sherrell J Aston revealed: "It appears that Ms. Bingham has had a Rhinoplasty, lip injections and Botox. While it is impossible to tell what size implants Ms. Bingham has; it is probably in the 550 to 600 cc range. In my aesthetic judgment they are too large for her body."
It has to be mentioned that Bingham has neither confirmed nor dismissed the plastic surgery rumors.
"Send me a video of yall rocking out 2 my new single #WantToWantMe! I'll RT the best ones! use that hashtag so I can find em!" Derulo, 25, wrote on his twitter account. Check out the audio below…
Check out the lyrics below…
(Verse 1) It's too hard to sleep I got the sheets on the floor, nothing on me And I can't take it no more, it's a hundred degrees I got one foot out the door, where are my keys?
Cause I gotta leave In the back of the cab I tipped the driver 'head of time, get me there fast I got your body on my mind, I want it bad Oh just the thought of you gets me so high So high
(Chorus) x2 Girl you're the one I want to want me And if you want me, girl you got me There's nothing I, no nothing I wouldn't do Just to get up next to you
(Verse 2) You open the door Wearing nothing but a smile down to the floor And you whisper in my ear, "Baby I'm yours" Ooh just the thought of you gets me so high So high
(Chorus) x2
(Bridge) Just the thought of you Gets me so high, so high Just the thought of you Gets me so high, so high
(Chorus) x2

Salma Hayek recently opened up about the incredible pressure on women nowadays.
"The amount of pressure on women now, it's crazy. You have to be much better than your male colleagues, just so you can maybe try and get the same salary as them. And you still have to be a good wife and mother. And now you also have to be skinny, and you have to look 20 when you're 40. It's too much. We need to stop with the crazy expectations, give ourselves a break," Hayek, 48, revealed to The Guardian.
