I'm from the theater, darling. I want to know what happens at the end.

I've always been quite shy. Very confident but very shy.

We'll always have art, darling.

I'd quite like to do a film but I'd also love to do more theatre. I want to keep challenging myself with good roles. It's harder for women because there aren't as many challenging roles.

I really love clothes, but I think I have a style of my own which is quite eclectic.

I'm crap at lying. I go bright red.

I come from the south, so you're useless and you're a bit pathetic. That's the first thing that the northerners think of you.

I feel like male patriarchy generally has been about repressing female sexuality because it's "scary."

Racism, specifically, is the state-sanctioned or extralegal production and exploitation of group-differentiated vulnerability to premature death.

I simply want to take a break and catch my breath. But I also think that, sometimes, the bravest thing you can do is to deliberately keep some time free and see what the world throws at you.

I love complex characters - strong females who are vulnerable but have a life and soul. That's what I'm drawn to and what I enjoy most.

Nothing is so common-place as to wish to be remarkable.

I want to be known by people who are knowledgeable about opera, who appreciate bel canto singing, people who have more sensitivity.

I've always believed in the saying that "there is no limit to what you can accomplish if you don't care who gets the credit."

I think Americans are good-hearted, open-minded people and race doesn't enter into this - at all.

Starbucks is planning to close down all the restrooms in its New York locations. Which explains the most popular new Starbucks order: An empty cup.

When a young man begins to go down hill everything seems to be greased for the occasion.

Anyone living in Los Angeles who says they don't need a psychiatrist, needs a psychiatrist.

I have a gold bullion and a 'one additional minute for your life' in my hand; as a gift, if you choose the second one, then I say you are a wise person!

HIV/AIDS has been a big epidemic for my generation, it's been around for as long as I've been alive.

Is it better to be extremely ambitious, or rather modest? Probably the latter is safer; but I hate safety, and would rather fail gloriously than dingily succeed.
