I don't get recognized in England. Not at all. Every so often, I get recognized in other countries.

Whenever I do get to work with John Barrowman, it is absolutely a joy. We just crack each other up.

My mother used to say, "When you can learn to laugh at yourself, a lot of healing comes from that."

I'd rather not have a moment when I'm known for my looks; being funny and interesting lasts longer.

Having been a cheerleader, I know all too well what these girls give up to join forces and compete.

I really wanted the MTV Award the most, It was a golden popcorn container and it looks really neat.

I dress like a 7-year-old space pilot. I have clothes that I still wear regularly from high school.

I was really tired of words like 'plus size,' 'round' and 'large.' I thought, 'Come on, we're fat.'

It's okay,' you know? It's okay to be you. It's okay to just not be okay. It's okay to not be okay.

Appreciate what you've got and follow your heart and you're all good. Don't over-complicate things.

It's okay', you know? It's okay to be you. It's okay to just not be okay. It's okay to not be okay.

French culture takes ageing very seriously. There's much less ageism than in Anglo-Saxon countries.

French is a foreign language, but I've been speaking it since I was 18 so it's second nature to me.

The portrayal of post-traumatic stress disorder and things like that felt really big and important.

I do know that I have to work hard for every single thing that I get, really hard, and that's okay.

I think as an actor you're used to having to travel, so wherever the work, is you're willing to go.

Unfortunately, I was making comedies in my 20s, but other people didn't realize they were comedies.

I got picked for very unique and independent filmmaking experiences with auteurs. And I'm so lucky.

When you become a parent, you really care that you get that right, and you care about nothing else.

If you have a movie coming out, and people are talking about you, the amount of scripts will build.

As an actor, throughout three years, I've become more comfortable within my own skin and confident.

I sometimes have dreams that my assistant director is waking me up and trying to get me to the set.

You have to do what makes you feel good, but for me, it has to come from that spiritual side first.

By showing that you don't have to lose yourself, maybe someone else will feel some sort of comfort.

There shouldn't be any kind of judgment towards somebody who has a belief system that is not yours.

I have a quick shout out to all the moms... I know it's hard, but try to love your body after baby.

It's been very important for me to follow my gut or my heart, or whichever organ you want to go by.

I haven't gotten stuck with something because I just keep going, and I keep doing different things.

If I had known what it would be like to have it all - I might have been willing to settle for less.

Just because someone isn't working at an office doesn't mean they're not working hard at something.

The Cosby years were a major part of my life, but it is the past; I don't really concentrate on it.

Oh, my God, this amazing cool breeze is coming through my window and the sun is shining. I'm happy.

But I don't think there's any reason to get married again, especially after what I've been through.

In Hollywood now when people die they don't say, 'Did he leave a will?' but 'Did he leave a diary?'

The director, of course, was Bob Fosse. But again, I worked with my father to prepare for the role.

I love acting so much, but listening to music and making music has been the greatest savior for me.

I believe such passion-even passion born of fear and anxiety-is far better than a life of banality.

I've been on the road for four years. I won't recognise the place again, until I walk out on stage.

I met my agent through a casting director here in Wilmington after I auditioned for a Disney movie.

Michael was very specific during rehearsals. When he was pleased, he always had this charming grin.

I've played quite a large spectrum of teenaged girls, from psychotic to very sweet to a polygamist.

I never worry about diets. The only carrots that interest me are the number of carats in a diamond.

Here's my goal: I want to make a seriously dark show, and not on a network that has ever done that.

I'm bringing what I've always wanted: film quality work on television. That's the way it should be.

If I started being braggy, my family would be like, 'Shut up, Maisie! Who cares? Get off the sofa.'

I stay healthy by dealing with things! Seriously, emotional and spiritual health is most important.

Women are often expected to be more amiable or more pleasing or more submissive than men generally.

So now, cut to ten years later, and I'm making this amazing contract with Pantene. It's incredible.

This I regard as a classic example of my not being properly prepared for a part I very much wanted.

What good am I? I can't have kids. I can't cook. I've been divorced three times. Who would want me?
