I love the feeling I get when I'm on a set; I love reading the scripts, playing the characters, getting to be someone else.

ER was one of my favourites. I played a car accident victim who has leukemia. I got to wear a neck brace and nose tubes for the two days I worked.

I think I was a Japanese schoolgirl in another life. That's how much I love Hello Kitty.

When I go home, I play with my baby dolls and strollers and diaper bags, and play with my sisters.

I've been a ballerina since I was two, but I've always wanted to be an actress.

It's important to be a global citizen at the same time and appreciate different cultures and different people and different ways of life.

I do feel very American. I think it's something I'm proud of and proud to be by chance born here. Honestly, that's something I think about.

I love who I am and I love my life, but if I could be someone else, I'd be Beyonce in two seconds.

My job is all about getting inside another person's mind and thoughts.

Acting is what I love to do. I wouldn't trade it for the world. I don't think of it as work. It's really fun for me.

I don't throw my clothes out after one wear. Shocking, I know.

People resist a census, but give them a profile page and they'll spend all day telling you who they are.

Humility is a byproduct of enduring success.

My mother was informing me, by mail, that she was about to die, and would never see me again.

Perfection belongs to narrated events, not to those we live.

In plain terms, a child is a complicated creature who can drive you crazy. There's a cruelty to childhood, there's an anger.

I gave you my love, I gave you my heart, I gave you everything you ever wanted and all you did was take it for granted...leaving me broken hearted.

Well, I'm not putting death on the agenda. I don't want to see my old friend Lucifer just yet. He's the guy I'm gonna see, isn't it? I'm not going to the Other Place, let's face it.

The time you spend grieving over a man should never exceed the amount of time you actually spent with him

The life of the mind is always more interesting than the real. The idea is often more interesting than the actual.
