I've never been a social bunny. I thrive on work.

I just believe that sometimes in life you're like a shark - you have to keep moving through water; otherwise, you'll die.

'Bionic Woman' really enriched my career. It was a big, amazing thing to do.

Working on new projects gives you the opportunity to learn and absorb new things.

I like to hang out with my friends, go to the theatre, watch DVDs, read, play with my niece.

Doing the same thing day in, day out. It's just so boring. I like to jump from different things.

I think it's so important as an actor that you hang on to your own inner compass, because so many people want to guide you - 'This is what you should you be doing'. But I want to do different things.

For me, once I've worked on something and it's finished, it's like an ex-boyfriend: you don't go back to them.

Sometimes in life, random things can blind-side you.

I was bullied. I was a bit of a geek. Good-looking guys were off-limits. I didn't start dating until I was 18.

Most of my cousins are boys, so I'm used to being around boys.

Be in love with your life, every detail of it.

In the end, people should be judged by their actions, since in the end, it was actions that defined everyone.

A human being in perfection ought always to preserve a calm and peaceful mind and never to allow passion or a transitory desire to disturb his tranquility.

I am glad and thankful that my husband forced me to start reading for pleasure, as it took me years to listen to him and pick up a book!

I watch a lot of cartoons. I watch a lot of "SpongeBob SquarePants" and "Phineas and Ferb."

I do bookstore signings, and it seems to me that I get a variety of men and women, more women than I'd expect, and grown-ups among my readers.

A feather in hand is better then a bird in the ayre.

Despair and postponement are cowardice and defeat. Men were born to succeed, not to fail.

My appearance was always good and my ability to play on the piano, especially ragtime, which was then at the height of its vogue, made me a welcome guest.

I won all the blue ribbons for canning at the state fair.
