As an actress, there's nothing worse than not knowing your cues.

I may not be perfect, but I'm trying.

I also like men who like dogs. I couldn't date a man who doesn't like my dog.

If I'm walking very, very fast down Madison Avenue in the middle of the day, I'll say I'm stopped 10 times.

I like green or brown eyes. Tall but not overwhelmingly so. I like men who do yoga and meditate.

I just loved being in the theatre with all those crazy, creative people.

I've been dating since I was fifteen. I'm exhausted. Where is he?

Where I come from, a lot of people didn't have money, but they didn't have gangs or drugs either.

Sometimes, when you're acting, you are so in the moment that you don't even remember what just happened.

Sometimes it would be nice to just have some red wine with dinner, but it's not worth the risk. I have a great life, a great situation. Why would I want to risk self-destructive behaviour?

Everyone would talk about their diets and working out and what it made me do was go to craft services where all the food for the cast and crew was and I would eat.

Fear is always triggered by creativity, because creativity asks you to enter into realms of uncertain outcome. This is nothing to be ashamed of. It is, however, something to be dealt with.

History a distillation of rumor

I look at other people my age in this industry, other famous people my age, and they've just got famous friends. Which is cool, but I love being normal and just chilling at mine.

I have a very broad demographic, from the 8-year-old who knows every word to 'Ice Ice Baby' and the college kid who grew up on 'Ninja Rap' to the soccer mom and grandparent.

I don't think of myself as particularly cursed or blessed. I think I got dealt a set of cards, and I'm playing with them, sometimes in heels, sometimes in combat boots.

Part 5 The Voice- Make that my voice

My lazy, unfair assumption is that everything's easier when you're young and stunning. And maybe it is! But I'd like to see for myself.

Now, being a science fiction writer, when I see a natural principle, I wonder if it could fail.

The star player must slay his ego and learn teamwork and communication skills before he can achieve the ultimate in sport

If you're not really having fun then there's no point of really trying.
