When I was first starting out, if you were acting on television, it was a real stigma.

For the love of God, will someone please punch me in the face so I can see some stars?

When films are remade, it often becomes a big deal. In theater, it's called a revival.

Being here, it is just impossible to imagine what that was like, when the tsunami hit.

I am definitely as happy as I've ever been. Happier, I would say, than I've ever been.

I learned a long time ago life just isn't fair, so you better stop expecting it to be.

I believe that the healthy people go to therapy. It is the real lunatics who avoid it.

You Americans, you have no idea how much your stuff infiltrates the rest of the world!

I don't care about the quality of the film as a whole, but I loved 'Salt.' I loved it!

Why can't black women on stage tell stories that can affect white men in the audience?

I love Halloween! I love it so much that I used to work at a haunted house every year.

For me, it's important to be the representation that I wanted when I was a young girl.

I stopped dating for six months a year ago. Dating requires a lot of energy and focus.

With the breast-feeding, I really love the bonding. Real life is more important to me.

I don't see myself going back to blonde outside of work though. I really like the red.

I face every project the same way - do it right and give 110%. 100% isn't good enough.

It's fun to be loose. Just like on stage, all of your great ideas come from looseness.

Love yourself before any other person. That's when you can really survive on your own.

And if you think you're alone. Put on my music. Because I'm going to be there for you.

If I'm able to use my voice to do good in the world then I definitely want to do that.

Binge eating is another eating disorder that people really don't realize is a problem.

At weekends, I've been going on long but steady-paced four-and-a-half-hour bike rides.

People like seeing people being human and real, and I think that's been lacking on TV.

I am conscious of the community that I'm representing and don't play into stereotypes.

My older sister has all her degrees in theater, and I couldnt stand the theater geeks!

Rita Hayworth in Gilda... there's not a shot of her in that movie that isn't gorgeous.

If there is a heaven, I'm sure Rock Hudson is there because he was such a kind person.

I have a Twitter and have followers from all over the world. It's pretty overwhelming.

I'm such a profound believer that timing is everything; I would tattoo that on my arm.

The people in New York - their humor is on a level that goes, uh, very deep, you know?

I use everything that I pick up in my memory, and everything that vibrates in my soul.

I didn't go to university, and I always had in my mind that I hadn't studied properly.

When people say, 'She's got everything', I've got one answer - I haven't had tomorrow.

I like being married. I like taking care of people, having someone to make dinner for.

I have very poor eyesight, and I can't imagine a world without my glasses or contacts.

If you're going to plan a wedding, then a certain amount of suffering is not a choice.

The calibre of TV's changing. It's becoming much more epic. To rival film, definitely.

I'm surrounded by great friends and family. I don't know what I would do without them.

Well, there's nothing more touching than putting a smile on a kid's face when you can.

I've never played someone where I felt it was beneficial to build from the outside in.

We owned a bearded collie for many years. Sophie. She was old, and she died last year.

I am known to be able to take care of myself when I become angry. I don't mince words.

My priority is keeping my skin looking great - perfect skin is the best beauty weapon.

I believe in loyalty. When a woman reaches an age she likes, she should stick with it.

After all the work I've done, why should I suddenly be treated as a bona fide actress?

Honestly, I get more recognized for 'Three Men and a Little Lady' than 'Harry Potter'.

I actually had a cockney accent before I went to drama school. It's softened up a bit.

When the show's not around any more, it's going to be hard not to have her in my life.

A rested face is a beautiful face. However you can, find your place of rest and peace.

I'll have a lot of wrinkles on my face, but I feel like my heart will be fat and full.
