The first time I met [Sylvester Stallone], he had golf tees up his nose. So I figured we were going to be OK.

I can install toilets. I know all about the wax ring. I can tile floors. I'm learning how to do basic wiring.

Would I like to go into space? No. Maybe I'd do it when I'm old and have done everything else on this planet.

In the past, I always used to be looking for answers. Today, I know there are only questions. So I just live.

The truth is I studied fine arts in Switzerland. I was just interested. I had no dream of being a movie star.

It takes a special conviction to decide to go against the crowd and to know what is right and to act upon it.

I think everyone's had that moment where you're sitting there in class and notice someone for the first time.

It's like reading a book about a life that you will never occupy, but that's the beauty of being transported.

I believe in myself, and I've always had people behind me who believed in me. With that, you can do anything.

I have an incredibly dark, mysterious, witchy side and another side that's very bubbly and cheerleader-esque.

I love going into a dive where they have no idea who I am or haven't heard my music and try to win them over.

I'm already the most fortunate girl in the world, so I have zero expectations for what the future will bring.

I wouldn't call him a slave. I don't whip him when he does something wrong. Just when he does something good.

I grew up in Louisiana - a little suburb right outside of New Orleans - and I wouldn't have it any other way!

I guess you could say the beginning of my career as an actress was when I started performing in music videos.

I find it very hard not to be myself and maybe that does attract attention, but I'd be miserable if I wasn't.

I love cigarettes. Love them. I think the more positive approach you have to smoking, the less harmful it is.

I am a person who goes out without a purse. I put things in my coat pockets, so I don't have any accessories.

For me, it is good to be vulnerable. It makes me nice... weak sometimes, but in a good way, not a tragic way.

'Doctor Who' was my first telly job, and before that I did a lot of theatre in education, children's theatre.

'Doctor Who' is one of those things that stays with you throughout your career, and I'm very happy with that.

No matter how much you know, how well read you are, how traveled or cultured, you should never stop learning.

Less is more when you do a bright, bold lip. Just draw on black liner and some mascara and you're good to go!

The theatre-acting, creating, interpreting - means total involvement, the totality of heart, mind and spirit.

When I'm older, I'd like to play one of Tennessee Williams's women and an older Adelaide in 'Guys and Dolls.'

I love standing under a steaming shower when I'm tired in the morning. I don't really get a chance for baths.

It's not the fat that's making you fat: it's not understanding separating carbohydrates from protein and fat.

It was Britney's movie. I liked that movie. It didn't get too much love, but a lot of people really liked it.

Again, if you only know what you know, you don't know if something's good or bad. You don't have perspective.

I am blessed to be able to work at a job I love and also give back in the most vital way - to people in need.

They are safe but they are not in their homes. They are city-less. I think it's just a disaster for everyone.

Having children is life-changing, to state the obvious. It's a gigantic shift in your life and I welcomed it.

I loved getting tutored and having that one-on-one attention that you sometimes do not get in regular school.

I have this very strange relationship with my work, which is that it's like a conversation between me and it.

Finally the world would see my full range of comedy characters - from grouchy librarian to Russian librarian.

I really love cursing a lot. But as I get older, I realize it's a little unseemly for women of a certain age.

I kind of look at my modeling career and the Alfred Hitchcock years as stepping stones to what I'm doing now.

A critic is someone who never actually goes to the battle, yet who afterwards comes out shooting the wounded.

So, you know, parenting is a very intimate and amazing experience and one of the best experiences of my life.

And I haven't read a lot of blogs but if someone writes about what they care about I'm sure it's interesting.

I think, by and large, the level of acting is mediocre. When I go to the theatre, I get so angry. I don't go.

All of us have the same thing coming - death. It's waiting. But I don't want to go. I want to live to be 102!

For an actress who really hasn't gotten to act for two years, it was like letting a wild dog out of its cage.

A lot of the old movie theaters are closing down now, which is really sad. It's still in the back of my mind.

If I showed you scripts from my first few movies, the descriptions of my characters all said 'the ugly girl'.

I'm not living in the past, I don't want to go back - I don't want to "Make America Great Again." No, no, no.

My mom's a great cook but I wasn't really allowed a lot of sugar or junk. That has served me well in my life.

My dad has always been really helpful. He taught me that talent is a bonus, but persistence is what wins out.

Getting divorced just because you don't love a man is almost as silly as getting married just because you do.

Parisian men make love all day and have no time to work; American men work all day and have no time for love.
