I usually don't know how to fight hard for roles. I've certainly sent a passionate letter or two... which always leads nowhere.

It took me a long time to realize that being a girl is so much more powerful than being a guy, but I really saw myself as boy for a long while.

It's weird, It's really weird to be called a breakout star. And some people are referring to my show as the new 'Friends', which I can't really even wrap my head around

I get nervous when I fly; I'm used to walking with my feet.

I never thought people would be mortally offended by the sounds I was making.

My knees could have been stirred with a spoon.

The spiritual world is hidden and perfectly revealed in the physical world.

I don't want The Cure to fizzle out doing 45-minute shows of greatest hits. That would be awful for our legacy.

It will make the Tea Party look like a tea party.

I'm not reclusive. I'm out and about.
