The retouching is excessive. I do not look like that and more importantly, I don't desire to look like that.

I'd rather do theater and British films than move to L.A. in hopes of getting small roles in American films.

I kept my head; I mean, I've never been one of those people who ended up in the gutter with sick in my hair.

I don't read any reviews, so I'm oblivious to what they have to say. I'm completely unaware. It's fantastic.

I love being on tour; I love being on the road. Its the most amazing feeling ever. I live for it; I love it.

There's so many great songs already written, it's kind of really wonderful you don't have to write your own.

I also don't have a desire to be on the A-list. I feel more people can relate to the D-list than the A-list.

The thing that bums me out about 'The Real World' is I don't want to believe that teenagers are that stupid.

What I really want to do is comedy. I would love to do some guest star spots on some single-camera comedies.

I feel so blessed to do what I do, but there's nothing in the world better than watching your child succeed.

Without Merlin, there would be no Gandalf, so I see them as the same thing, one a continuation of the other.

I don't think there is enough youth employment or enough push for youths to kind of do want they want to do.

I am a slow reader. I always loved words, which is a strange thing given that I couldn't actually read them.

I grew up in Chicago, but when I was 12, I came to New York because I was doing an episode of 'Law & Order.'

I feel so rich in my emotions and in my life and so grateful when I'm home and so grateful when I'm at work.

When I was young, my mother would not let me get my ears pierced because I used to get into too many fights.

I don't get to go to the super fancy stores unless I am in L.A. so you stay pretty real and normal that way.

I just thought that Adrienne [Shelly] wrote a great character [for Waitress]. It really was all on the page.

As I get older, I find that cardio is less important to me. What I want to do more of is intense stretching.

I just want a life that's full of up-leveled joy. And I'm ready to meet a nice man! Put that out there, too.

As I said, I began losing confidence in my instincts, which is tough and very bad for an instinctive person.

Sometimes your characters in films do things that you wouldn't do. You're not playing yourself all the time.

Women inevitably have to work a little bit harder to be heard. Hollywood is disgustingly sexist. It's crazy.

I think the sheer number of pop stars has kind of drowned out, somewhat, our interest. We're just submerged.

When I watch shows, what I gravitate to is serial. You need to come back, you need to know what's happening.

I completely bombed the audition... I was insecure, stopping and starting. I went to the bathroom and cried.

Oh, I have to say Romana; she was much more fun to do but I did enjoy the Princess when she was turning bad.

M.G.M. never really gave me a break. They loaned me out for leading roles but cast me in programme pictures.

I was in Nashville quite a bit when I shot 'Nashville,' and I was in Los Angeles when I shot in 'Supergirl'.

I care a lot about fragrance not only in my life, but sometimes it feels right while working on a character.

I've got the sort of personality that requires me to find some sort of release, and for me, it's performing.

I'm all over the place, and I consider myself a bit of a scrounger: 'What will I do next, so I'm not broke?'

Fame didn't happen to me in my 20s, it has been a gradual thing which probably makes it easier to deal with.

When I'm at school, I usually put my hair up. High pony, side pony, or a bun, I like my hair out of my face.

I'm pretty obsessed with Sara Bareilles. She is so talented, and I feel like I would learn so much from her.

I've never dyed my hair or even gotten highlights. All the products I need for my hair are at the drugstore!

Moving. Someone said this to me a long time ago, it's bhuddist saying, I think: 'There is no wasted effort'.

I used to drink tons of caffeine. Now I make smoothies with frozen berries and Green Vibrance health powder.

To be working in the theater steadily and to be recognized and appreciated by the community means the world.

Having Zoe saved my life. It was my wake-up call. There were so many things I didn't want to pass on to her.

I have two false hips, a wired-up right knee, two crushed discs and scoliosis. If I don't dance, I seize up.

My daughter teases me once in a while saying, Remember when you used to be my mother and you had black hair?

They were concerned about the racial issue. They thought it was not a safe issue to go Asian, unfortunately.

And maybe that's being the third child, although my entire family are very resilient - very, very resilient.

People always assume that things are just handed to me, but I've had to prove myself, every inch of the way.

Sometimes things go really well, and sometimes they don't, and it's not ultimately the most important thing.

You're asked, 'Do you know kung-fu?' Yeah. That's what we do. We wake up, we brush our teeth, we do kung-fu!

I like the ephemeral thing about theatre, every performance is like a ghost - it's there and then it's gone.

I think lots of actors are very nervous and shy. I know lots of them who are, and some who aren't of course.
