I wanted to be a lawyer. I realized I don't really want to be a lawyer. I want to play a lawyer. Thank God I figured that out.

In California, I do like to just chill out and go to the beach, but I love the energy here. I feel very productive when I'm in New York.

When it comes to fashion, I love skinny jeans, a simple top, and a great handbag.

I'm very much a girl that likes to have options. That's the way I am with fashion, and that's the way I am with my life.

I am certainly not perfect. I don't think you should try to be perfect for anyone. When you come to terms with that, then you're OK.

One beautiful smile can always be a good reason for our day to start with great hope for a better future

Ali... we should have gone to see that movie. Malcolm X was another one

I don't like to take my clothes off.

I don't have a great talent for explaining myself in acting because I can't explain it.

I would definitely bring silver into your holiday decor.

Happiness is peace after strife, the overcoming of difficulties, the feeling of security and well-being. The only really happy folk are married women and single men.

Plots are for dead people.

It's hard these days to have a conversation, at least it is for me, about [Truman]Capote without "Good Night, and Good Luck" coming up in the same conversation.
