I would love to do something like Austin Powers to show off my comic timing.

But I had a very traditional background as well. My parents are neat people.

Don't accept or be crippled by the media hype that aging is bad or shameful.

I love to cook. I'm a sailor. And I was the eighth-grade ping-pong champion.

When you grow up in abject poverty, you see people exactly the way they are.

I like long floaty clothes that don't restrict me, and I live in flat boots.

I want to be a good friend, a good sister, a good person and a good actress.

I love getting older. I think it has to do with always being the kid on set.

Week-by-week you grow with your character and it's an interesting challenge.

Is your remarkably sexist drivel intentional, or just some horrible mistake?

I've tried coconut water straight up before, and to me, it's a little funky.

I was a goody two shoes - a straight-A girl, and I took pride in my studies.

I'm very inspired by a lot of things from the past, from Cher to Diana Ross.

My style is very inspired by both my parents, so we all have the same taste.

I spent my teens and early 20s shopping almost exclusively at thrift stores.

The biggest obstacle I've had to overcome is being a woman in a man's world.

One thing I love about Christmas music is that it has a tradition of warmth.

I like romantic comedy as a genre, but I think it can get stuck in its ways.

I'm a very positive person. I get excited easily, and I like to jump around.

Everyone needs a theme song! It should make you feel like a million dollars.

I deserve attention not because of any talent, but just because of who I am.

I find the most normal things about famous people to be the most fascinating.

My ideal date would involve a park or rowing in those little boats on a lake.

Losing my grandmother was one of the hardest things I ever had to go through.

I write a lot too, so I would like to write or direct in the future if I can.

But, you know, it really depends on the character. Age doesn't really matter.

I don't care what you say about me if I don't find you physically attractive.

As an actor, my main focus is finding good writing and attacking a good role.

When I read "The Whole Nine Yards" I was like, 'Okay, this is a G-spot role'.

I'm never going to be with a guy that can't deal with my friendship with him.

I'm much more comfortable speaking through my characters' voices than my own.

People who work on soaps all the time understand the formula of how to do it.

I'm learning how strong I am, how resilient I am. I'm learning my weaknesses.

Cats are more interesting, let's face it. Dogs are loveable and a bit boring.

Don't fit in, don't sit still, don't ever try to be less than what you are...

I think as a kid I always liked to listen to people. I loved hearing stories.

I don't care for physical activity. I'm not sporty. I'm not very coordinated.

I've been lucky to play strong women who are trying their hardest to do good.

Oftentimes, what you wind up learning is very different than what you expect.

It gets really tricky giving advice. The older I get, the less advice I give.

I've done a bunch of Broadway, so I'm a theater nerd when I come to New York.

Music is my biggest passion and Ive just been obsessed with it. Like, always.

How can the world progress if women don't consider men ... the Man ... first?

What 'Twilight' gave me was years to consider how I wanted to work otherwise.

Honestly, I just try to drink lots of water and get a decent amount of sleep!

The second I tell myself I have to do something, I'm sure to do the opposite.

The only thing I've ever wanted to do in my entire life is to be on Broadway.

For beautiful hair, let a child run his or her fingers through it once a day.

Promise me one thing: don't take me home until I'm drunk - very drunk indeed.

What I like about theatre is the responsibility you have with your character.
