I don't remember ever dressing up for Halloween but I must have. I do not like dressing up at all.

I was not popular enough - or at all - when Vanilla Ice was popular to remember who Vanilla Ice is without my husband reminding me. So I don't have a Vanilla Ice key chain.

Halloween means that young girls dress up in highly sexualized outfits that would never be acceptable if it weren't Halloween.

I do not like candy. I do not like knocking on strangers' doors. I do not like having to deal with the candy disaster that is Halloween. I resent it.

I HATE HALLOWEEN. This makes me VERY unpopular.

I like the way the prose and poetry interact.

I am only able to be honest. And sometimes my view of the world is pretty dark. But still funny.

Here, there is simply no substitute for the kind of work that experimental psychologists do, work which shows some mechanisms to be quite reliable, and others to be quite unreliable.

There's not an awful lot that embarrasses me. I'm the kind of actress that absolutely believes in exposing myself.

If dance wasn't in my life, it wouldn't be worth living.

I'm a working actress able to make choices based on characters rather than what I 'should' do for my career.

A good imitation is the most perfect originality

The multitude of books is making us ignorant.
