One of my favorite things about doing movies is that you get to do different things you'd never do in real life.

ER was one of my favourites. I played a car accident victim who has leukemia. I got to wear a neck brace and nose tubes for the two days I worked.

I think I was a Japanese schoolgirl in another life. That's how much I love Hello Kitty.

When I go home, I play with my baby dolls and strollers and diaper bags, and play with my sisters.

I've been a ballerina since I was two, but I've always wanted to be an actress.

It's important to be a global citizen at the same time and appreciate different cultures and different people and different ways of life.

I do feel very American. I think it's something I'm proud of and proud to be by chance born here. Honestly, that's something I think about.

I love who I am and I love my life, but if I could be someone else, I'd be Beyonce in two seconds.

My job is all about getting inside another person's mind and thoughts.

Acting is what I love to do. I wouldn't trade it for the world. I don't think of it as work. It's really fun for me.

I don't throw my clothes out after one wear. Shocking, I know.

No man is a hero to his valet.

I tell my employees that we're in the service business, and it's incidental that we fly airplanes.

If they cut off both hands, I will compose music anyway holding the pen in my teeth.

Of the smells, bread; of the tastes, salt.

I'm a very distracted person.

Once you put bacon into a salad it's no longer a salad, it just becomes a game of find the bacon in the lettuce. It's like you're panning for gold, hmmmmm, EUREKA!

Idleness is sweet, and its consequences are cruel.

The struggle is always worthwhile, if the end be worthwhile and the means honorable; foreknowledge of defeat is not sufficient reason to withdraw from the contest.

On Sunday, something washed up on shore.

I don't think you get to be pope without making some enemies, like you do when you're president.
