Performance became part of my art in a way - expressing things and emotion.

I am a hopeless romantic.

I have endless playlists on my iPod so will throw on, say, Bruce Springsteen or The Smiths, depending on what kind of day I'm going to have.

I just really think every job I do, I get this gypsy attitude to money.

You never think you're as old as you're ever going to get.

And it's as you get older that you realize that the things that make you strange are the things that make you who you are. And that's a lovely place to get to.

I've been told I make a very good brew.

Girls in scripts are often pretty but brainless, or geeky and no one likes them, so it's great to find richer roles. Chalk and cheese aspects of people are very interesting to play.

I don't know if I'm so righteous.

The thing I adore about acting is that it's not me: you get to experience all these emotions, but essentially it's not you.

There's a reason hobble skirts are called hobble skirts. You literally can't move very far in them.

If you can do nothing else, do whatever is in your power to make the people in your life feel completely unashamed of who they are.

Cats can do whatever they want, whenever they want, without regard to what anyone says or does. Rather like Princesses.

JEALOUS, adj. Unduly concerned about the preservation of that which can be lost only if not worth keeping.

Even the humblest mammal's strong sexual, parental, and social instincts give rise to 'do unto others as yourself' and 'love thy neighbor as thyself'.

Men will tell you sometimes that "money's hard." That shows it was not made to eat, I say.... Some of those who sank with the steamer the other day found out that money was heavy too.

Sail on, sail on, o' might Ship of State. To the shores of need, past the reefs of greed, through the squalls of hate. Sail on, sail on, sail on.

In the distant future, I don't want to be remembered; I want to remember!

You go up to the devil and ask if he knows he's a sinner and he'll say, "Well, yes I am! And a mighty fine one at that!"

To map out a course of action and follow it to an end requires some of the same courage that a soldier needs.

What about Santa's cookies? I suppose 'parents' eat those, too?
