The Farrelly brothers make movies the way you imagine a movie set would be when you're a kid - fun all the time.

I'm not prepared for a zombie apocalypse. I need more bottled water, a shotgun, and stronger abs. I have plenty of canner food.

I'm a lover of lists and five-year plans and Excel spreadsheets. Any way that I can have any control over the direction my life is going, I gravitate towards that.

I still get nervous when I have a lot of makeup on, a big hairdo, and a dress.

Be willing to work for nothing in things you think are stupid. Make work for yourself. Make your own luck. Don't complain. Hopefully, the work will find you if you are ready.

Growing up, I was a very shy, wallflower type. I was not a nerd, but not popular. I was just invisible, like that person you probably didn't know you were in school with.

Even in college I tended to get cast in the comedies more. It was what I liked doing.

When I'm writing my blog, I think of myself at 13 years old, back in St. Louis, daydreaming about Hollywood.

I'm a very thoughtful, forward-thinking, planner kind of person. I love Excel spreadsheets and five-year-plans, and I love to review every year how my New Year's resolutions went.

I had this crazy job, though, when I first got to Los Angeles... I answered this ad in the back of the newspaper to be a telephone psychic, and I did that for two days.

I'd been out in Los Angeles for about eight years, knocking around. I actually, instead of waiting tables, worked in offices as a temporary assistant.

We are all too fixed on wrecking ourselves rather than bettering ourselves.

A wise traveler never despises his own country.

It comes back to the old question: How can the Bible be so wise in some places and so barbaric in others? And why should we put any faith in a book that includes such brutality?

Let us be bold. Let us be brave. Let us be together.

It is astonishing how foolish humans can be in groups, especially when they follow their leader without question.

At work you worry over the family at home. At home you fret over work left undone. Behold the working woman's stress.

Go out and do the things you are afraid to do gradually. Gain the power to do that through meditating. You will find yourself limitless reality that knows no fear.

All the world is happy when Santa Claus comes.

I would describe myself as a "total conservative, a conscientious one."

As the arrow endures the string, and in the gathering momentum becomes more than itself. Because to stay is to be nowhere.
