I definitely wouldn't shy away from doing another action based project, but I feel like my forte is more like playing real, ordinary people. I'm a girl's girl.

I tend not to wear accessories. I'm not one of those gals with a drawerful of amazing jewelry. I don't even have my ears pierced! But I have one bracelet that never comes off my wrist.

We live in a world of instant gratification, the world of the quick fix.

An inspiring word for me is to think of myself as limitless.

I can see my ghost trying to get that Academy Award, forever stuck in a casting office. Can you imagine? I've spent enough time in audition rooms. I don't want to be doing that in my afterlife.

I know what I want, I want things for myself, but I think the key to life is somebody to love, something to do and something to look forward to. I don't think it's complicated.

Aesthetically, I don't really like the blond, tan thing. I am pale. So I may as well embrace the pale. Long, blond hair and a bad spray tan is the stuff of my nightmares.

I think all television has to be about relationships and I don't think horror for the sake of it can work unless you're able to ground it in some kind of relationship.

If I'm going to take my clothes off I figured I might as well do it for something that I'm directing myself since I had complete control of the edit.

[Sexual abuse] is such a sharp, potent topic that we really should have discussions about more openly and more often.

For me, clothing is nothing without the story behind it. Everything I own evokes some kind of memory.

I make music for ears, not eyes

Communism is in conflict with human nature.

In L.A., you are your job.

It isn't fate but fecklessness that has shoved Sarah Palin to the sidelines of national politics. The real tragedy is that she's taken a lot of other serious Republican women with her.

Criticism does not disturb me, for I am my own severest critic. Always in my playing I strive to surpass myself, and it is this constant struggle that makes music fascinating to me.

I don't need bodyguards.

Ingratitude is always a kind of weakness. I have never known men of ability to be ungrateful.

If we should deal out justice only, in this world, who would escape? No, it is better to be generous, and in the end more profitable, for it gains gratitude for us, and love.

I do not think it is permitted that a better man be harmed by a worse.

Modern life is given over to immoderation. Immoderation invades everything: actions and thought, public and private life.
