My parents' divorce left me with a lot of sadness and pain and acting, and especially humour, was my way of dealing with all that.

I am a creature of habit.

There are no regrets in life, just lessons.

I love that feeling of being in love, the effect of having butterflies when you wake up in the morning. That is special.

I feel sexy in my jeans and wearing my boyfriend's T-shirt.

My dad became a soap opera actor, and I was an extra in a skating rink scene on the soap. I didn't audition. It was nepotism all the way.

People who do comedy are always underrated because they make it look so easy.

I guess we'd be living in a boring, perfect world if everybody wished everybody else well.

Marriage brings up all the things I pushed to the back burner - the fears, the mistrust, the doubts, the insecurities. It's like opening Pandora's box.

The greater your capacity to love, the greater your capacity to feel the pain.

Once you figure out who you are and what you love about yourself, I think it all kinda falls into place.

The na at the end of banana annoys me as much as it would you if it were bananana.

I don't have to jump up and smile just because TV wants me to.

People love stories and the more you can give information and knowledge and even wisdom through a story, the more likely you are to be heard.

A good leader... maintains a balance between emotional drive and sound thinking.

You become a superpower by being strong but also by being wise and by being farsighted. But no state is strong or wise enough to create a world order alone.

Things do not change; we change.

You should be concerned about the state of your soul, not the state of your bank account.

For me, university was just awful because it was closing one door after the other of all these candy shops of professional possibilities.

I'm pretty transparent and very honest almost to a fault. I don't hide anything or sugarcoat anything. I don't play politics because that means I'd have to lie. I'm just forthright in my whole being.

The great stories go to those who aren't afraid to live them
