I didn't go into this business to do action because I'm a classically trained actor. But I'm good at kicking and punching.

I don't see myself as extremely handsome. I just figure I can charm you into liking me.

You can put a cat in an oven, but that don't make it a biscuit.

I used to do puppet theatre and also mime and musical theatre in Florida for competitions and festivals, which was great. I was very much involved in theatre when I was in college.

I dimly guess, from blessings known, of greater out of sight.

If I had been more self-conscious about being a woman, it would have stifled me.

Everyone is doing forensics.

If I really considered myself a writer, I wouldn't be writing screenplays. I'd be writing novels.

Remember your natural affection for all of creation.

I've made more bad decisions at 3 in the morning than I can list!
