I'm lucky enough to get really interesting and diverse roles offered to me, and I just hope that that continues. I just want to keep expanding as an artist and really try new things.

I like Cinderella, I really do. She has a good work ethic. I appreciate a good, hard-working gal. And she likes shoes. The fairy tale is all about the shoe at the end, and I'm a big shoe girl.

I come from musical theater, and a lot of musical theater is about accepting fantasy. I think it is more about just being open and accepting.

Find out who you are & embrace it. It's so much easier to face criticism when you are comfortable in your own skin.

That's always been my philosophy: I try to just be as straightforward as possible, and then I don't really have to question what I said or regret anything.

I do believe that you don't have to act like a man to be strong. You can still be feminine.

The illusion of perfection is an illusion anyway.

I find that in life all you can do is try to be honest about who you are and how you're feeling, and trust that it will be received in the correct way.

As an actress people always tease me like: if there's anything you can do to make yourself unattractive you will do it.

A man who's powerful and strong yet is able to show tenderness and vulnerability, that's really sexy.

I was a pretty scrappy, tough kid; I got in all sorts of fights at school. I defended myself - boys didn't mess with me. But as one of seven children, you have to fight for everything anyway.

What a bright sunny day, and I don't know what to say...

what are you thinking, Amy? How are you feeling? Who are you? What have we ddone to each other? What will we do?

How do you know whether you're serious about your values? You fight for them when they're violated even if it costs you title, favor, friendship, and profit.

Nobody gets to live life backward. Look ahead, that is where your future lies.

There is hope. There is hope everywhere. Today God give milk and I have the pail.

In the Golden Age of Batman, I penciled, inked, and lettered my strip by myself.

The ball whizzes past like a bumblebee and the Indians are in the sea.

There are some remedies worse than disease.

Big emotions that are unexplained are really scary. At least to me.

Being known for musicals is a great thing.
