I loved being blonde. It's true, they have more fun, even when they're cannibalising their children.

I'm not really big on slapstick humor. I like gentle humor.

I'm not all that big on rides. I sort of like bumper cars but I don't really go to Disneyland all that much unless if have nieces and nephews or people to take.

I had one nanny who made me sit in front of a bowl of porridge for three or four days running when I refused to eat it. I remember being very unhappy about that.

I have two new nephews and a new niece this year, so I have plenty of kids that I can spend time with.

What I like to think, and perhaps it is an adolescent thought, is that anything can happen. As long as you think that anything can happen, it will. We're all allowed to have our dreams.

Allen Carr's Easy Way to Stop Smoking Program achieved for me a thing that I thought was not possible - to give up a thirty year smoking habit literally overnight. It was nothing short of a miracle.

Being called a person, as such, indicates that one should only have one character and be true to it.

I like it when you read a script and there's the part that you show to the other characters and then there's the part that only the audience knows.

There is something simply beautiful and simply innocent, in being human. It is just so innocent and beautiful. I love it.

A meow massages the heart.

Dealing with the fame and going from nothing and becoming something where everyone wants a piece of you, your life changes in a day.

I think that I need to work on being comfortable at being normal, everyday-ish on camera. Unlike a lot of actors, I think that's the thing that I'm not so comfortable with.

And if incision of the temple is made on the left, spasm seizes the parts on the right, while if the incision is on the right, spasm seizes the parts on the left.

I don't pay much attention to sports.

Blaming speculators as a response to financial crisis goes back at least to the Greeks. It's almost always the wrong response.

In whose wonder do you get to participate today?

I believe love is what makes the world go round. No matter how old or young, love is why we are here. It is the very essence of one's being.

I write for myself, first and foremost and I also write for people, mostly women, who just want to be seen and heard and all too often aren't.
