I'm a working actress able to make choices based on characters rather than what I 'should' do for my career.

God knows, I never want to hurt someone's feelings.

The only time he cries is if he’s hungry. We all have nipples. I don’t care who I offend; my baby wants to eat. If I can’t get a cover over me quick enough, so be it.

I used to wear a lot of red lipstick, and when I got a pimple, I'd cover it up with eyeliner to turn it into a beauty mark.

I have no fears when it comes to my hair or clothes.

A wedding is such a girl thing.

My first crush was Spock. I thought it didn't get any better than Spock.

I have very little faith that I'll ever find someone. I've had some bad luck and I've made some bad choices - not in men, but in how I've chosen to deal with relationships.

I'm pretty much a loner and I've lived under the radar.

I'm flatchested, I'm short, I'm brunette, I have droopy eyes, and so people have a hard time casting me as a 'beauty.'

I don't like slugs and tentacles and calamari or anything. Actually, tentacles made me turn into a vegetarian in high school. I'm not anymore, but in high school, we were dissecting squid.

Destiny can never be denied. It takes time to unfold .

Belief, hard work, love - you have those things, you can do anything.

Monsters, show me the monsters: these people out on the street. My people.

When I die, I want to die like my grandfather who died peacefully in his sleep. Not screaming like all the passengers in his car.

To me, money is absolutely irrelevant.

Retire to what? I already play golf and fish for a living.

You don't need to make your heart and your head agree. Let your head make the decision, your heart will catch up eventually.

Oh, boy. I'm still in touch with about 90 percent of my exes. They would describe me as being unlucky in love.

From joy I came, for joy I live, in sacred joy I melt.

I've led three lives: the acting part, wife and mother - which is a career - and international relations. I'm proud of my career, the first one, and I'm proud of the other two, too.
