I think everybody wants to be a rock star.

I've been acting since second grade, telling stories, making my parents laugh here and there, so I'm hoping my "thing" is acting. But I also make a really good bread pudding.

I always like to be a step ahead of the audience by surprising them and the best way to do that is to not hold back.

Well, I'm from the South originally. I grew up in South Carolina definitely learning about manners and being proper and having to go to cotillions.

I went to School of the Arts in Winston-Salem, and we had a bunch of singing classes. My first job in New York was an Off-Broadway musical.

Ultimately, I don't think you can teach a tone-deaf person how to sing. Some talents you're just born with, unfortunately.

Sometimes you just can't hear yourself. Maybe ears are too close to the mouth.

It's shocking when someone who is really bad thinks they're really good. It's heartbreaking, because singing is such a vulnerable thing to do.

You always envy someone else's life and, as a woman, you're always comparing your life to someone else's life.

I think that the audience wants to see women being put into real situations where they can relate to them, rather than seeing some glamorous woman in a 'Bond' film.

I'm a huge fan of Jessica Lange and 'American Horror Story.' I would love to work with her. She's been one of my favorite actresses for a while.

Love is the only way to go toward happiness.

On their side more men are standing, on ours more will fight!

The greater man the greater courtesy.

We'll meet again. We'll meet when years have passed, and years make such a difference, don't they?

For me, personally, it is very important that the days are exactly the same, so I have routines. I do the same thing every day.

I don't live in the papal residence. I live in a simple apartment behind the Vatican gas station.

If you try to serve people, it impresses them. If you try to impress people it irritates them.

Human beings are not meant to lose their anonymity and privacy.

I was lucky to have my dad in my life. As crazy as things got, I always had him to put his hand on my shoulder.

That you were once unkind befriends me now, And for that sorrow, which I then did feel, Needs must I under my transgression bow, Unless my nerves were brass or hammered steel.
