I was a full foot taller than any child my age.

I was born in Washington, D.C., and I was raised in Milwaukee.

I don't consider myself a goody-goody, but I like to be perceived as classy.

I like people-watching and fading into crowds.

In some roles I have to wear fur, and I always make sure it's fake, like in Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me. Faux fur is great because it shows people that faux can look fabulous.

I literally felt like a freak, which is another aspect of the role of Sally that I relate to: total outsider.

My way was not to be the petite, gorgeous, little cheerleader. My way of getting by was making people laugh.

I am, uh ... a 6 foot tall woman, I feel like I'm a healthy size, I'm not anorexic; and I feel that people who aren't anorexic are punished ... for not being anorexic.

It's a very lonely place, being an addict.

I was such a dork. I was too big. I was really gangly.

I was voted Biggest Ham and Likeliest to Become a Celebrity.

Darkness will come knocking. It will offer everything you never had. But its gift is just a cheap knockoff of something it cannot be. Never accept the hand of the Beast.

Leadership is about vision and responsibility, not power.

Everybody in the world is capable of democratic development. Some people in the world are unlucky enough to get stuck with really bad political leadership and with really bad political institutions.

I'll go anywhere as long as it's forward.

Venice is the prettiest city I've ever seen. It looks like a Disneyland ride.

Fate seemed to be playing a series of extraordinarily unamusing jokes.

Sometimes I feel a strange exhilaration up here which seems to come from something beyond the mere stimulus of flying.

At the end of the day, what actors really want to do is act a lot and not wait around in the trailer.
