I love singing some Johnny Cash, which is interesting because it's in a guy's key; I love singing Elvis Presley.

I just sing the songs that people don't expect you to sing, because I just love having fun at karaoke and I'm always a bit nervous to sing something serious.

I'd love to be a 'Bond' girl.

I like to scare myself and throw myself off the deep end.

The red carpet is kind of a surreal experience. There's nothing normal about it, so for me the most important thing is to maintain some normality right until the point you get out of the car.

I love all things Christmas.

I've looked after my money. As I started working around my third birthday, my first check went straight to the bank.

The day you stop learning and creating must be the most boring day.

There's nothing like the buzz of live theater. You put it out there and receive an instant reaction: laughing, crying, yelling, applauding.

It's one of those dreams I thought would be unattainable for someone like me, who came from nowhere.

When I was a 7-year-old girl, in my bedroom, on my karaoke machine, I would sing 'On My Own' or do a one-woman version of 'Les Miserables.'

Friendships founded on laughter are always fortuitous.

Live desired in the world, and die lamented.

I love my BlackBerry, I love my Apple Mac, I love technology.

If you want a chicken to be a duck, and a duck to be a chicken, you will suffer.

I love the pride whose measure is its own eminence and not the insignificance of someone else.

Mankind is not a tribe of animals to which we owe compassion. Mankind is a club to which we owe our subscription.

Perhaps only when people can enjoy their differences as a resource of cultural enrichment do they become truly civilized.

I'd like to do a piece of Shakespeare. Any upcoming Shakespeare film. Just a bit to say I did a classic.

The pursuit of perfection, then, is the pursuit of sweetness and light.

You shouldn't fear failure. You should fear succeeding at the wrong thing. I may fail, but I'm failing at the right thing.
