I like to always have humour in whatever I do.

There's no conversation more boring than talking about what it's really like to live in Newport and how the show compares to the real thing. I just don't care.

It's very important to me to love what I do. It was important to me to find a career that I truly enjoy. You can find something that sort of excites you, that's half the battle of life.

Welcome to a life of insecurity and paralyzing self-doubt.

My best jokes are so cheap. All I do is say things sarcastically.

I've had to fight for roles and I've lost a hundred roles, but 'Smoking' and 'Smith' were phone calls. That's the dream.

I always enjoyed movies and in hindsight I realise how captivating they were to me.

I want to work with intelligent people and look for scripts that I think are intelligent and surprising.

Well, I guess most people would only know me from The O.C. I did a few episodes of Gilmore Girls before that. I was also a client on a lot of lawyer shows.

I feel like Hollywood is a big high school again. Seriously, Ashton Kutcher is the prom king.

The most important thing in life is to stop saying 'I wish' and start saying 'I will.' Consider nothing impossible, then treat possiblities as probabilities.

Those who do not continuously seek knowledge are content to settle for mediocrity.

Our nation grew strong in an era when moral standards were emphasized, and it will grow weak when we condone that which we once condemned.

Revenge may not be a particularly high consciousness-oriented activity.

I was labeled a troublemaker, my mom an unfit mother, and I was not welcome anywhere.

A lot of stuff written about me is rubbish. I don't know where they get it from, sometimes.

And so, while perhaps not all God's chilluns got wings, enough have for each of us to hope that we may be among those that have.

One easily bears moral reproof, but never mockery.

The young woman was crying, in the way that grownups cry, keeping it inside as much as they can, and hating it when it still pushes out at the edges, making them ugly and funny-looking on the way.

It really will benefit every area of the business. Financial struggle is something I'm very familiar with as an independent designer.
