I'm fiercely protective of my privacy.

My favorite thing is to have a big dinner with friends and talk about life.

Sexuality is one of the biggest parts of who we are.

You can't not be happy around penguins. You're unfortunately happy and cold but the happiness makes up for the coldness.

I've joked that I would have either become schizophrenic or an actress, but as an actress you can do both.

I feel that's the richest gift that's ever been given to me: I get to do what I love. And it's a really brutal business, and no matter how successful you are you hear "No" more than "Yes."

I always had challenges when I was younger, because I looked so young but sounded older.

I played the mom in Spy Kids when I was, like, 27. So it was ridiculous. But [Robert Rodriguez] was like, "You know what? If we do our job right, no one will question it." And nobody did.

I'm much more of a kid now than I was when I was a kid. I was the kind of kid who was valedictorian, a straight-A student. My mom used to say, "Please stop studying and get outside."

When a sports movie really works, it gets you on all levels, because the stakes are high. It's black and white. It's win or lose.

I'm a sensualist. My two main indulgences are dark chocolate and massages.

Money is just an idea.

The snobbish lost in laud.

Nature gave men two ends-one to sit on and one to think with. Ever since then man's success or failure has been dependent on the one he used most.

We always had dogs,so I understood all the joy and the love animals are capable of giving. It's crazy to me that some people have dogs in thier homes, but they treat them more like furniture.

I think American drama is at its best when it takes the domestic and makes it epic, like a Greek tragedy in the front room.

Somebody's real voice is probably the hardest one that somebody could attempt.

You keep folks so intimidated. You can give them money, access, but they're still scared. And as long as you're scared, you're on the plantation.

Love, patience, and meekness can be just as contagious as rudeness and crudeness.

Fight for your dreams, and your dreams will fight for you.

Tip of the day- Don't smash your face!
