It's actually easier to play a leading role than it is to play a supporting role.

I want to be in 'Glee,' but I'm told I'm not famous enough to be a cameo yet.

I never get recognised here in London, which I like. Once a year, someone comes up to me and asks if I am 'so-and-so's niece' because they think they recognise me from somewhere. I like that.

It's tricky playing people that you don't like and finding a way to empathise with them. It's challenging and very exciting for an actor.

I wanted to be a musical theatre actress - I wanted to play Sally Bowles, forever and ever always.

I don't think you should ever damage other people for your art.

I'm not great at having my picture taken and I don't enjoy that side of it very much but I enjoy being with my friends and it's nice to have a reunion.

Am I reserved? I think I agree with that. I don't think I'm particularly original. I am quite homey, though. But then I'm also quite transient. I quite like being nomadic.

It's always harder to maintain raw enthusiasm or joy than to go into a really dark place.

I have always hated nightclubs, and don't like loud music.

Art is neither a profession nor a hobby. Art is a Way of being.

I am a lover of words.If your words don't play with me, nothing else in you will.

I don't believe in religion, for I don't see that your religious people are any better than the rest.

The latter-day robber barons are discovering that better conditions and rewards for workers pay off in a world where consumers increasingly demand ethical standards.

If a bird is flying for pleasure, it flies with the wind, but if it meets danger it turns and faces the wind, in order that it may rise higher.

There is no yawning gulf between man and God. Through his aspiration and meditation, Man can become conscious of his oneness with God.

I am religious in the sense that I believe in God and I believe that there is an abiding logical spirit that controls what goes on to a certain extent.

Love is the stepping stone to new beginnings.

My mind is turning into kind of a fine gelatinous ball of pepper

There is nothing more provocative than minding your own business.
