I'm pretty unusual for an actress in Hollywood because I am totally unselfconscious about my body.

Something I've noticed as I get older is that I do think about the future more. It's all positive thinking.

I'm portable. I carry a laptop and a little recording studio on my back.

I live a normal life.

I think it's really important to live in the moment.

I wasn't interested in fame or fortune. I was interested in being an actor and being creative. I was very adamant about that.

Growing up on a farm was the best. I remember loving that expanse of space. The sky at night was so clear, I could see every star.

I'm a bit hyperactive as an actor, I like to keep moving.

I used to paint a lot of oil and now I paint more mixed-media stuff.

I'm always writing lyrics. I have so many lyrics on so many stray pieces of paper. Everywhere.

Playing different characters in different films helps keep you excited about what you do. It always seems like a whole new adventure.

Love is blind. You don't have to be.

Romance is dead - it was acquired in a hostile takeover by Hallmark and Disney, homogenized, and sold off piece by piece.

Why do photographers photograph? To make unreality visible.

Anger is one letter short of danger.

The thing that makes our friendships so short and changeable is that the qualities and dispositions of the soul are very hard to know, and those of the understanding and wit very easy.

Fear depends on time for it's strength! Confront that which you fear with speed.

If you think you know it all, you really know nothing.

We need a national renewable energy goal. Such a goal, sometimes called a renewable energy standard (RES), would spell out what percentage of our power America plans to get from renewable sources.

The music starts as being way separate from the lyrics, and I write - I have notebooks that I fill with drawings and just words, and stuff that I've written.
