I feel like my brain is more geared towards a novel than it is to a movie.

I have to say, sushi freaks me out more than almost anything.

I try and take lots of vitamins and I don't drink. I do smoke, though, I'd be insufferable if I didn't smoke, you'd have to push me off a balcony I'd be so boring.

I'm a fan of action movies.

Everybody likes the underdog, because everybody feels like the underdog. No matter how successful you are, you always think, No one's being nice enough to me!

With every project you do, you bring out a part of yourself, and it seems to be quite a good way of expanding a person.

My best feature is unfortunately a private matter, although I'm told it is spectacular. But you can't really walk it down the red carpet. What can I say?

I think I like playing the bad girl. I like complicated. I like flawed, messed up complicated. It's more interesting.

I'm attracted to playing things that I find difficult, just because it's a journey that is much more interesting.

Someone once said that you can make the choice between getting old and getting creepy, and I think getting old is the way to go.

People keep asking me about it but I don't want to be famous for being a former anorexic.

An eternity of wishing to speak directly to my Creator - I thought in despair - and this is how He finally contacts me? Through AOL Instant Messenger?

In our particular society, it is the narrowed and narrowing view of life that often wins.

If I wanted to be famous, I could have been famous before. I mean, I produced a Frank Sinatra special - Elizabeth Taylor, with Michael Jackson, Gregory Peck, I won't even take a picture.

Over the years, the European Union and the United States have worked together to ensure peace and prosperity for our citizens and for people around the world.

All our failures are ultimately failures in love.

When she sees the leaves fall, they raise no other idea in her mind than that winter is approaching.

I do understand that onstage there are times when you think, 'I could not be more alive than I am at this moment. I can't do most things in life. This is what I'm for.'

If you worry more for others' beliefs, then you will be their slave.

Together we will build an America where hope is a new job with a paycheck, not a faded word on an old bumper sticker.

Life is a marvelous, transitory adventure.
