I like the old, classic scary movies. I love 'Psycho,' 'The Sixth Sense,' and 'Poltergeist.'

I had to take the driver's test twice. And they don't make you parallel park anymore, but you can't hit the curb when you're backing up. And I hit the curb.

I love entertaining people and making them laugh. It's my favorite thing to do.

I think the Beatles are a lot of people's favorite band.

I'm an only child, and after making the movie [Yours, Mine and Ours], I know it would be awesome to have 17 brothers and sisters in real life.

I write songs all the time in my room. I play them for my friends and family.

I'm on the Web a lot. I like to play games online. Sometimes I play Sims.

Growing up, my next door neighbor was my best friend and an only child too.

One fan asked me to sign their sock. That was crazy. They just took off their shoe and handed me their sock and asked if I'd sign it.

I might die if I forget how to breathe.

I can weave words together and create magic, it's like knitting and crocheting words with pen and paper, some call it Poetry.

Chicago happened slowly, like a migraine. First they were driving through countryside, then, imperceptibly, the occasional town became a low suburban sprawl, and the sprawl became the city.

It takes about five years for a walnut tree to produce nuts but this is not true of a family tree.

We used to build temples, and museums are about as close as secular society dares to go in facing up to the idea that a good building can change your life (and a bad one ruin it).

The smaller the function, the greater the management.

The biggest lessons I've learned in life have probably come from a bad situation, from an angry situation, even if I wasn't the one who was angry.

When you're the spokeswoman for a weight-loss program, everything is witnessed. I weigh in once a week with a witness. I have to sign an affidavit saying I cannot have any surgeries.

Non-co-operation and civil disobedience are but different branches of the same tree called satyagraha.

The acme of love is to enhance your friendly attitude to those who insult and revile you.

Those Russians. They did worse things when they entered Pomerania than we ever did in Russia.
