I wouldn't say that I was an actress. I tried to be an actress. I really didn't have the gift.

I love when I'm writing and I'm cringing because I know I'm doing something right.

In a way I'm lucky because when people suggest I won't be able to do something I have no choice but to show them they are wrong. If I say I'm doing it, I'm doing it. No matter how hard it is.

When you create, it comes from this deep part of you, and your job is you, and so when you don't get heard it can feel bad and frustrating and you have to somehow keep the confidence up.

Work very very hard. This business is no joke. Make sure you know what you want or you might be taking someone else's view instead of your own.

It was fun to create characters who had truth to them but were also made up so as not to completely offend!

I'm pretty sure a lot of directors would be thrilled to cast age appropriate roles. I am.

Actresses feel immense pressure to keep up. Nobody wants someone who doesn't know how to market themselves.

The celebrity culture demands a camera-ready-at-all-times look or else the photo is circulated in a demeaning headline.

The pressure for an actress to look good and be skeletally thin is insane and unrealistic and it's a subject I've been fascinated by.

I work hard and support myself.

Humanity must forgive 'Humanity', for only then can we be Humane.

I want to speak to the dream in your heart. That dream that has taken a backseat as you have strived to live up to something different.

An unknown force is calling mePerhaps the voice of that star perched on the last heightPerhaps the desire to see the spaces that conceal Europe

People don't always want what they need nor do they need what they want

I'm a very big believer in fate.

I think that if you can butter writers up enough, they might give you a little.

In the area of robotics and in the area of connectivity, technology is offering us things that we are vulnerable to - and we have to have a better response than a shrug.

Twenty years from now if there is some obscure trivial pursuits question, I am confident I will be the answer.

I don't really need new stuff anyway. I like to make big stuff, and it's too expensive to travel with. So I have my refined set that works well, and I'm pretty much set with that.
