Hollywood is the definition of sexual discrimination.

My experiences have taught me a lot and I'm happy with my learnings, if not with what I went through to learn.

When you grow up, your heart dies.

I have the desire to work as an actress, but I have no ambition to be a star.

The fact is, I can have any experience of life I want. I don't have to choose any one thing or act in any one way to define myself as a woman now. I am one.

But the fact is, nobody gets off drugs unless they really want to, and I really wanted to.

It is worth it to me to know I have succeeded based on my abilities and not on my looks or any 'connections.' I've tried not to embody destructive female images in my work.

I think everybody has the ability to fall in love with a man or with a woman or a white person or a black person or a Jewish person or a Protestant person or whatever.

I think that acting involves doing your job so well that you are able to help the viewer identify with the character.

Everybody likes to gossip. But it can be a little scary to have people knowing secrets about me when I don't know anything about them. It's not exactly a two-way street there.

Pity me that the heart is slow to learnWhat the swift mind beholds at every turn.

I must endure to the end.

Think big: Universe is a village, a small place! When you think big, all will get smaller!

What does he expect from a law student? I'm hard-wired to find loopholes.

It's easier to put on slippers than to carpet the whole world.

Writers are such phonies: they sometimes have wise insights but they don't live by them at all. That's what writers are like...you think they know something, but usually they are just messes.

I would never say one was more important or more gratifying than the next because there's a tremendous amount of work, as you know, that goes into winning a cup.

I would love to have a varied career, like Hugh Jackman. He started in musical theater, then established himself in film, but he still does a lot of stage work. And he does it all beautifully.

Trials are no longer about freeing the innocent, punishing the guilty, and making restitution to the injured. They have devolved into a contest over who will win.
