To go to L.A. and be on the Addams Family set? It was beautiful production design and an illustrious set. I'm focused on never losing that sense of privilege. I'm still like, "I'm super lucky."

My parents went crazy when they found out that I had gotten the part in 'Conversations With My Father!' I'd never given acting a thought. They were proud of me and very encouraging.

What's great is that because math is such a universal language, really, our fans come in all shapes and sizes, all ages and genders and races and backgrounds and cultures.

So many shows out there dumb-down the country. It's so admirable to be part of a show that wants people to think.

Don't live your life like a movie. Always thinkin you could've been something. Don't live your life for me or for anyone. You live your life as if you're one.

Men are the devils of the earth, and the animals are its tormented souls.

Sharks are being driven to extinction because people want to eat their fins and their flesh.

I like to think both - it's not either/or. It's and.

I discovered, quite early in motherhood, that the longest and most painful deliveries occur when you give birth to stepchildren.

When you don't have much money, you get creative. There's so much money that gets wasted on big movie sets. But when you don't have much money, you improvise.

There is no remembrance which time does not obliterate, nor pain which death does not terminate.

Troian is one of the most incredibly gifted actors I have ever seen.

If there is a book you want to read but isn't written yet,write it.

And moody madness laughing wild Amid severest woe.
