I don't think you should ever damage other people for your art.

I want to be in 'Glee,' but I'm told I'm not famous enough to be a cameo yet.

I never get recognised here in London, which I like. Once a year, someone comes up to me and asks if I am 'so-and-so's niece' because they think they recognise me from somewhere. I like that.

It's tricky playing people that you don't like and finding a way to empathise with them. It's challenging and very exciting for an actor.

I wanted to be a musical theatre actress - I wanted to play Sally Bowles, forever and ever always.

I'm not great at having my picture taken and I don't enjoy that side of it very much but I enjoy being with my friends and it's nice to have a reunion.

Am I reserved? I think I agree with that. I don't think I'm particularly original. I am quite homey, though. But then I'm also quite transient. I quite like being nomadic.

The minute I get into a hotel room, I scatter my stuff everywhere. It's like a bomb site within a minute. So I suppose that means I'm trying to nest.

It's always harder to maintain raw enthusiasm or joy than to go into a really dark place.

I have always hated nightclubs, and don't like loud music.

If you're walking down the street in L.A., people do sort of look at you like you're a hooker because it's so rare to see someone just walking.

Always our wars have been our confessions of weakness

The gut is the seat of all feeling.

As innocent as a new-laid egg.

A father's disappointment can be a very powerful tool.

New Yorkers are inclined to assume it will never rain, and certainly not on New Yorkers.

Every one on the earth should believe that he has something to give to the world which cannot otherwise be given.

Life insurance can be numbingly complicated. Clients often turn off their brains and surrender their judgment to the very agent or planner who brought on their coma in the first place.

My sophomore year I spent exactly one day on the JV football team. It was the tryout day.

I like my mug shot. I think I have a really great mug shot. It looks like a magazine shoot.

I'm a huge fan of The Sopranos, and suddenly, you find yourself going one-to-one with this guy who you've been watching for years, watching every flicker in his eye and every detail on his face.
