I like to think of myself less like 'an adult' and more like a 'former fetus.'

An actor should always let humility outweigh ambition.

You listen to your favorite song just until you're almost getting sick of it, and then it's so fun to rediscover it after a couple of months.

It's cute how I used to think this 'barely holding it together' feeling was temporary.

I feel like if it's not scaring you, you're doing it wrong.

Sometimes I think, I need to think before I speak. And then other times I think, I shouldn't leave the house or interact with people ever.

Sometimes the best part of my day is imagining what I'm gonna eat when I get off work.

I'm the person who wouldn't send back my food even if I got steak when I'd ordered fish.

I stole comic books from my brother when I was a kid, but I was never like an avid fan. I can't claim to be like a comic book geek.

Too much fame, money or alcohol can make you stupid.

O! Learn to read what silent love hath writ:to hear with eyes belongs to love's fine wit.

Destiny is not designed by mere mortals like us. It is crafted by God.

Music is my religion. Music is the only thing that has never failed me. People let you down, music won't.

I will not make anymore boring art.

You can imagine what a trip this is for a Jewish girl from Great Neck-I get to win an Academy Award and meet Elizabeth Taylor at the same time.

Art that serves an artist best is an experiment in expanding awareness.

Learn to be difficult when it counts. In school as in life, having a reputation for being assertive will help you receive preferential treatment without having to beg or fight for it every time.

I feel very peaceful.
