I’ve given pure sex appeal very little thought. If I had to think about it I’m sure it would frighten me.

When I was 11, I knew that I wanted to write a kid's book and tell the world what it was like being deaf.

Chiropractic solved my neck and shoulder pains; it put me back on my feet. I think chiropractic is great!

I don't know how to do the other, so I won't even consider television until the audience's taste changes.

I find it's better to focus on what's in front of you and to keep putting one foot in front of the other.

I want to go to culinary school because I love cooking. One day I'd love to open up a restaurant or cafe.

When I was about 15... I made my first attempt as a leading lady, and was, of course, a complete failure.

There's a tremendous amount to be gained from being a performer, and being an artist, and being an actor.

People get up and say, 'I didn't prepare a speech because I didn't think I would win.' Well, that's dumb.

If they could cut off my head and put it onto another body that was, like, 20 years old, I would do that.

I'm getting a lot of roles as women who are very powerful. I think that's a reflection of me as a person.

I watch HGTV like a maniac, and when it's bad, it's like some crazy college guy watching a football game.

When I'm trying to find my way into a character, the voice and physicality are the first two things I do.

My name is real, which probably explains why I never became a superstar... how would that look in lights?

All that attention to the perfect lighting, the perfect this, the perfect that, I find terribly annoying.

Men should look at the world as if something is wrong when their voices predominate. They should feel it.

My mom used to have a lot of European cinema playing in the house, so I'd catch bits and pieces of films.

I think that I am a compulsive person, but now I'm learning to put those compulsions into healthy things.

'Bionic Woman' changed direction too much from episode to episode, which I think is why it lost momentum.

I've not taken like acting lessons or anything but it doesn't mean I don't need to because I'm sure I do.

There are many teenage vampire books you could have purchased instead. I'm grateful you made this choice.

I really think guys only need two pairs of shoes. A nice pair of black shoes and a pair of Chuck Taylors.

True love is singing karaoke 'under pressure' and letting the other person sing the Freddie Mercury part.

I like the theater enormously, but I truly love films - the whole bizarre, boring process that it can be.

I have no secrets. I decided very early on in life that the strongest position was to be completely open.

I do say things possibly other people don't say. So I shouldn't be too surprised when they are picked up.

My mother put me on birth control as soon as I told her I wanted to go on it. I was 16. I was very young.

It's hard to do things like auditions, because you don't want to put weeks of work into just an audition.

My first proper credit was a small voice-over on an episode of 'The Sopranos' when I was, like, 11 or 12.

I cry at random things, like a flower, or someone giving me a present, or my sister giving me a nice hug.

I really am not a weakling. We like to do a lot of takes, so it ends up being pretty physically grueling.

The grunge thing was a little bit atrocious. 'Let's all put on plaid shirts and be as dirty as possible!'

Even as a child I had a strong relationship with yearning and desire. And loss. Those things spoke to me.

Scarlett O'Hara is going to be a thankless and difficult role. The part I'd like to play is Rhett Butler.

I'm probably the most militant person you'll ever meet and I speak my mind without provocation sometimes.

I prefer doing interviews where people don't have to interpret what you say. I'm going to be real honest.

I think there was no other profession for me. I was either going into an insane asylum or to be an actor.

I could find David Beckham naked in a cardboard box on my doorstep and I would drop him off at the pound.

Not eating meat really keeps me trim....meat, and what's usually served with it, is a big calorie packer.

The true meaning of feminism is this: to use your strong womanly image to gain strong results in society.

It's called Paris, not Hilton, just me, because I don't want people to think it's my family's. It's mine.

And as far as false hope, there is no such thing. There is only hope or the absence of hope-nothing else.

I have been afraid all my life that I am going to die. All my life it has been stuffed in my imagination.

My parents owned a hair salon, so I learned a few tricks there. I can cut people's hair - if they let me.

I grew up on the beach. It's just a way of life. You don't seek out that lifestyle; it's just day-to-day.

I think it helped that 'Fleabag' had such a dramatic arc to it, even though it was disguised as a comedy.

I just kind of like to feel myself into stuff by writing scenes and seeing what characters end up saying.

I think it's healthy to say, 'I'm 58 and, do you know what, this is what a 58-year-old woman looks like.'

Did you know that the institution of marriage was created when the average person lived to the age of 30?

If I could create my own utopia, it would be this genderless world where we didn't have to talk about it.
