I wish I knew that when I go in for an audition and I don't get the part, it actually doesn't have to do with me on a personal level.

There's such an odd, eclectic group of people that make up the town of Plymouth, New Hampshire. I don't think I could avoid not coming out of there with a pretty good sense of humor.

I've been recognized a couple times. I get people staring at me, and I think in their heads they're thinking, 'How do I know her? Did I go to high school with her?' I think it's not registering yet.

I'm always working out; I did ice hockey in high school, but I'm not a dance person. I mean, this was horrible, but I had a dance double in my high-school musical.

TV is the best. I wish that's how life was.

I used to play the piano by listening to it - like Chopin pieces, when I was, like, a little kid - and then the minute my parents got me lessons to read music, I couldn't do it anymore.

Liberalism itself has failed, and for a pretty good reason. It has been too often compromised by the people who represented it.

We can please God by his power.

The notion of there being something greater than humanity can strike fear in the bravest of soldiers and cradle courage in the palm of a child’s hand.

The Presidents job, is not to wield power himself, but to lead attention away from it.

On my return to Pittsburgh, I resolved to go back to the fundamental problems of electronic structure that I had contemplated abstractly many years earlier.

You need so much energy and encouragement to write that if someone says something negative, some of that energy goes.

I knew it wasn't good when it happened. It's definitely scary. Every now and then, something brings you back to reality.

I'm a martial arts buff, so anything martial arts.

When I look back at my past and the way I grew up, I grew up on communes. That was meant to be.

This or something better now manifests for me in totally satisfying and harmonious ways, for the highest good of all concerned.
