When I was a little girl, I remember carrying my orange UNICEF carton with me as I went Trick-or-Treating.

There's a lot of people out there who go through hard times, and they feel alone. They feel like nobody is there. But I'm in the same boat.

I'm very proud of myself because I have come so close to just giving up and I haven't done that.

Nothing can stop me from loving my brother.

Mom would kill me if I showed my navel.

Just staying true to yourself and staying true to your passion. Following your gut.

When you get a chance to step back, you notice all these great things you've done and all these great people that you've worked with.

I needed to explore my talent and versatility and see if I had another side to me, another sound.

My daughter is in love with Adele. She listens to her every day. To see someone with that much passion and soul move a 9-year-old is amazing and it's magical.

That's the beautiful part about acting - you get to play somebody other than yourself. So, I'm open to people who can't sing, people who can, people that sing a little bit, or people that sing a lot.

When you fall in love, you wanna share it with people but you know there are some things that you need to keep to yourself, 'cause privacy makes things last longer, I feel.

Maybe that is why in my comedy I try and puncture the hypocrisy all around us, why it is almost a crusade with me to strip life down to what really is true.

I only know how to be one thing. And that’s me. Take it or leave it. I don’t really give a shit.

I CLOSED MY EYES AND PRETENDED SHE WAS YOU. illutions- aprilynne pike

Better a little which is well done, than a great deal imperfectly.

Try praising your wife, even if it does frighten her at first.

I think there are plenty of men out there who are capable and accomplished in their own realm. You don't have to be in the same field.

I don't know what specific frontiers Germany could adopt for her purposes, but I think that those willing "to lend" a frontier to her can be found.

Dressing up is like therapy; I feel better in myself when I've made an effort.

In my experience, it's usually up to the actor how a character is portrayed.

Consider the "new" woman. She's trying to be Pollyanna Borgia, clearly a conflict of interest. She's supposed to be a ruthless winner at work and a bundle of nurturing sweetness at home.
