I'm not one aspect of the human experience - none of us is.

I am a creature of habit.

There are no regrets in life, just lessons.

I love that feeling of being in love, the effect of having butterflies when you wake up in the morning. That is special.

I feel sexy in my jeans and wearing my boyfriend's T-shirt.

My dad became a soap opera actor, and I was an extra in a skating rink scene on the soap. I didn't audition. It was nepotism all the way.

People who do comedy are always underrated because they make it look so easy.

I guess we'd be living in a boring, perfect world if everybody wished everybody else well.

Marriage brings up all the things I pushed to the back burner - the fears, the mistrust, the doubts, the insecurities. It's like opening Pandora's box.

Do you know, Masha, how revelation comes? Like death. So sudden, though you knew all along it must occur. A revelation is always the end of something. It might even be cause for grief.

Men, being conditioned badly, are always feeling nooses closing around their necks, even dumpy boors no girl would take on a bet.

Color is the first revelation of the world.

Human beings should not be reduced to a state to where they almost get into a fight over a small bar of soap.

We read because we are essentially alone.

Repentance for past crimes is just and easy; but sin-no-more's a task too hard for mortals

Pretty much every artist in Scotland - musician, writer, poet, actor - they're all part of a thing called the National Collective.
