I wanted to be in an anti-gravity machine so bad! Maybe a different time, a different place.

I kind of grew up in a commune, but it wasn't a hippie commune necessarily, but it was a big house with a lot of families, we all lived together and it was the 70s, whatever that means.

For most of my 20s, I looked like I was 12. Now that I'm pushing 40, I guess I look closer to... 15? It must be my macrobiotic diet. Oh, wait, except that I don't have one of those.

I never wanted to get caught in doing something that was really one note.

I'm not going to lie. I would definitely steal stuff from set.

Anytime anybody does anything - unless it's in the realm of the obviously awful, which is fun too in a different way - it is in many ways a success.

I have a million story-lines for 'Revenge' and they never listen to me.

For me as an actor because I've been at it so long, it becomes much harder to watch movies because you really see the seams of everything.

It's funny, people talk about the characters they play and who do you sort of see yourself as or which ones maybe were closest to you and in some ways.

We are programmed; we are literally programmed genetically and then we are programmed environmentally and most people never break out of that programming.

What is the duty of a Latter-day Saint? To do all the good he can upon the earth.

That is what poetry can do. It speaks to us of what does not exist, which is not only better than what exists, but even more like the truth.

No fashion has ever been created expressly for the lean purse or for the fat woman: the dressmaker's ideal is the thin millionaires.

I've still got a lot left in the tank. I think people are starting to see I've got a lot left in the tank.

It is misleading to imagine that we are developed in spite of our circumstances, for we are developed because of them. It is mastery in circumstances that is needed, not mastery over them.

Suffering dispels the illusion that we have the strength and competence to rule our own lives and save ourselves.

A good essay must have this permanent quality about it; it must draw its curtain round us, but it must be a curtain that shuts us in not out.
