Supporting myself at an early age was the best training for life I could have possibly received.

Red Dawn was really the most fun I ever had making a movie, because I love Westerns, and I love the idea of being a tomboy, and riding horses and shooting guns.

In my deepest parts of sadness, I'm always making a joke or being sarcastic.

My mother told me to raise my kids with calculated neglect. They get their self-worth from doing what they can do and not having everything done for them.

I've been very good for gun manufacturers.

Today is a brand new day. A day of change, of promise, of creativity, of kindness, and of love. I'm going back to bed.

for me the most fun of my career is to bring a little bit of irreverence to characters. And, you know, I don't think that the producers were expecting me to be as irreverent as I am.

Track accountability is the best way to describe it. You're looking to see which dog accounts for the most tracks in the smoothest manner.

I would love to play a 1940's style fast-talking reporter lady. That's probably the dream.

A light-heel'd mother makes a heavy-heel'd daughter.

Great men don't nessarily make good husbands.

I would never say one was more important or more gratifying than the next because there's a tremendous amount of work, as you know, that goes into winning a cup.

The extent of one man's guilt may be defined by how much of it is experienced by the party he injured.
