I've seen many actors go awry by making the wrong choices early on.

I came out of the womb waving red lipstick.

From a really young age, I was into female empowerment and supporting the underdog. Right now, I'm into female vengeance.

The awesome thing about being an artist? You can't be fired from your own mind.

It's my job to spread deviance to the American youth.

I still say I can do whatever I want as long as I'm not hurting anybody else. I don't understand why more people aren't like that.

I think working with artists is incredibly important for everybody in the world, but also, it is a way of seeing the world differently.

I think if I had lived back in Salem, I would have been burned at the stake

Why should I downplay myself to make someone else more comfortable?

It wasn't that I was shy to go out with him, I just didn't want people with preconceived notions to assume anything about why we were together. I was pretty careful for a while.

I'm a pussycat unless you do something to one of my friends. Then I'll think of unique ways to get back at you. I'm more creative than your average bear.

You are living to the fullest when you live to discover and fulfill your purpose

People are often frightened of Parisians, but an American in Paris will find no harsher critic than another American.

Don't be content with doing only your duty. Do more than your duty. It's the horse that finishes a neck ahead that wins the race.

Collectivism requires self-sacrifice, the subordination of one's interests to those of others.

With acting, you have to take it seriously because the other actors are putting in a lot of effort - and if you say, 'I'm just bullshitting here', it's like dissing 'em.

There was a point when it all really took off and got quite overwhelming, even though I didn't realize it.

Sensing us, the trees tremble in their sleep, The living leaves recoil before our fires, Baring to us war-charred and broken branches, And seeing theirs, we for our own destruction weep.

It's hard to be someone that people talk about and write about, you know? They don't know me.

See, that was the problem in relationships when emotion began muddying the waters. It was as if (Lexie) expected him to do or say exactly the right thing at exactly the right time, whatever that was.

It is not the critic who counts...The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena.
