As I've started school I have a student-feeling wardrobe and then because I travel a lot, things feel very different for different places and days.

I did some theatre. I had some smaller roles in a couple TV shows and films. I used to think I did a lot of acting, but my 'career' started when I started Homeland.

On an average day, I have two things to read in my purse: a book and a play.

I like to make pies. Thats kind of my new obsession - peach, blueberry, apple, strawberry. I make a really good pumpkin pie with real pumpkin.

I take a few pictures a week, but the best part is waiting for my film to be developed. The suspense is exciting, and the reward is great.

I like records. My favorite is Simon and Garfunkel.

I do a lot of vintage, of course, but I really feel so particular about clothing. I think it stems from acting, like if I'm not wearing the proper shoes for a character I feel totally off.

I really do like working very closely with a director and developing characters.

Even the creative things feel mathematic, almost.

I find it really weird that sexuality is still so taboo in films and violence isn't. It really bewilders me.

One thing about New York is you can understand how you're perceived really easily if you just get on the train, by the way people look at you. But there's still an anonymity in it.

Oh, mankind, race of crocodiles! How well I recognize you down there, and how worthy you are of yourselves!

Let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth.

I trust that when people meet, we meet for a transcendent reason, and that the challenges we face in life are always lessons that serve our soul's growth.

The unadmitted reason why traditional readers are hostile to e-books is that we still hold the superstitious idea that a book is like a soul, and that every soul should have its own body.

If a person's basic state of mind is serene and calm, then it is possible for this inner peace to overwhelm a painful physical experience.

One connection I see between novelists and terrorists is that we both attempt to alter consciousness.

Nice tackle, babe." Ranger

These funerals always appear to me the more indecent in a populous city, from the total indifference of the beholders, and the perfect unconcern with which they are beheld.

I don't know what goes on in the crowd. I've had them show up and throw beer cans at me. I caused riots in most of the major cities.

I was in love with my wife and she was in love with me. We got along wonderfully.
