Everything that I play as an actress is a different aspect of me.

I have good genes. My father is Danish and my mother is Irish and Native American. They both have good skin.

It's a roll of the dice when you're a first time director so I prefer to work with people that know more than I do, but that happens less and less as you get older.

Do something good for yourself today. You matter.

I always tell actors, "Don't think of it as unemployment when you don't have a job. You have to think of it as being in preparation for your next job." You have to be always preparing for success.

Men, we don't need you in shining armor. We just need you a little bit brave, just a little bit brave.

The actor side of me loves to get dressed up and I feel like Cinderella when I'm in diamonds.

It would be good if you opened your heart to the fullness of time and spirit.

I really didn't like Batgirl. I was like, "No, if I'm not gonna be Batman, I'm not gonna play." Maybe they could write an evil female super villain who takes over Batman, and nobody knows.

I was always an actress, even as a little kid, and fantasy, horror, sci-fi stories are really all about playing make believe. I just never grew out of that.

Sadly, I really want to be Batman ... and I just never will be.

You might say that you've finally earned the wisdom.Actually, it's the wisdom that has found and formed you.

Sometimes an adventure is a mundane thing. A trip to the shore with your best friend. Learning you can laugh in unearthly ways.

Success is peace of mind, which is a direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing you made the effort to become the best of which you are capable.

Call it the Absolute, the Ideal, Perfection, Sanctity, Decency, or what you will, but strive toward it or you will smother in the morass.

Brass shines as fair to the ignorant as gold to the goldsmiths.

It is a mystery why people think they need to act as their friends' dietitian, nonetheless it's common.

The benevolence of wrapping the partridge in a vine leaf brings out its quality, just as the barrel of Diogenes brought forth the qualities of the great thinker.

I can't say I ever loved my mother; I admired her.

You know the FA's the richest football association in the world? Well, I shouldn't say that. They're not the richest at all. What they do is they have the biggest turnover in the world with £325m.

I have no ambition to govern men; it is a painful and thankless office.
