If I had done 'Titanic,' it would have made, probably, $200,000 - worldwide. So I think my life would have been very, very similar.

My limits are limitless. I find my limits every time I act.

I don't want to expose the intricacies of my work so people can understand how I did it.

That's what I always enjoyed about acting, the real adrenalin rush. My heart - still before I go on stage - crashing out of my chest. That's thrilling to me.

I wish I had more of the hero gene, but I don't think I'd be very good at playing one.

Every time I do a movie, I think it's going to be a huge hit.

From here on out, I am only interested in what is real. Real people, real feelings, that's it. That's all I'm interested in.

All you really have when you're acting is the confidence and your ability to manage and tell a story by creating a character.

Be fearless. Be bold. Be Magic.

Success is inevitable to anyone whose subconscious mind is programmed to perceive life as a journey of endless opportunities and possibilities.

I've been playing these schoolgirl roles in all my movies. Every time I went to the set, it felt like I was going to school.

I want to get a farm where I am going to live for the rest of my life. I like the idea of a secluded place.

A poet must learn to wage war.

He who died in place of us is the one object of my quest. He who rose for our sakes is my one desire.

I'm a triathlete. Running is when I do my best living and my best thinking. I love the discipline, pushing yourself to suffer as much as you can, because it leads to a form of redemption.

Shutup, lapdog, this isn’t your fight, either. Boy, you better counsel that tongue before you find yourself without it.

Star Wars was great at the beginning and crap at the end while Star Trek has always been interesting, and the difference is in the writing, and the thematic intentions.
