I miss the anonymity that comes with New York because everyone around you is so immersed in their own journey.

I don't really consider myself a model, to be honest. I respect designers; I think it's another art, you know.

You manifest based on who you are already - so you must own the identity of the dream in order to manifest it.

I am extremely content in my life - sometimes to the point where I really should find something to moan about!

I'm not a standup. I don't really have jokes. I don't have 10 minutes. It took a while for me to realize this.

It's a war of attrition. If you have patience and a modicum of faith in yourself your chances are not too bad.

My family said that I wanted to act even when I was a child living on a tea plantation in the jungle in India.

I am not a home breaker and I can never be. I haven't been brought up to create havoc in other people's homes.

Unfortunately, I feel as actors we have to fight for the right to really go in as many directions as possible.

Sleep is like the holy grail. My trainer says if you're tired, your workout will suffer. Sleep is magic stuff.

I think the genetics of being Irish are that you sort of prefer when it's rainy and cloudy. It's just genetic.

I was the kid who never won the races. I never jumped the highest. I wasn't on the list of the high-achieving.

My life has taken me down several different paths I never expected it to take me down. Not in a million years.

As far as I'm concerned... there's a side to an actor that wants to go on and play a thousand different roles.

Acting is a nice childish profession - pretending you're someone else and, at the same time, selling yourself.

We're trying to raise good humans, and some days, we're better at it than others. You don't always get treats.

We lived in a council flat, and I spent most of my time on estates. My mum was very strict. I used to hate it.

If I was ambitious in my career, then I would have moved to the United States and given it a good go at films.

My doctor was like, 'Any questions?' And I was like, 'Yes! When can I drink please?!' I just want a margarita.

I always find it much easier when there's one person whose vision you're following, as opposed to many people.

I love music and I love acting. I always keep that in the forefront, not all the other distractions around me.

Corbin Bleu was my first kiss in life. I was 12, and he was, like, my first kiss for TV... It was on the lips!

Being a therapist can be very serious though. There are people's lives in your hands. For me, it was too much.

I adore the fact that when I'm driving home from work, as soon as I hit my neighbourhood, I see people I know.

I've done a few American accents. I've maybe passed a test. But I don't know if it makes things easier or not.

I think I have a disease called spontaneous disclosure. I need to tell everyone my life story instantaneously.

There is no need to feel defeated at 40, 50 or 60. I'm having the greatest time in the second half of my life.

I had the halfway house. I can't tell how many nights I spent around my kitchen table, soothing broken hearts.

I liked animals more than people! OK, I liked certain people, but the idea of mankind'-it really irritated me!

I would rather have a small part in a really great movie than a big one in one that I'm not too psyched about.

After 14 years, it better be a real marriage, you know? We do have a great time together. We are really lucky.

The men may be the head of the house, but the women are the neck and they can turn the head any way they want.

She comes from the Midwest. She had me at a very young age and raised me on her own. She's a very hard worker.

Being in front of a live audience again. I get that in my concerts but there's nothing like being on Broadway.

I don't turn my nose up at anything. If it's a great part, it's a great part. I'd love to do a box-office hit.

People now tell me it's a good thing I stayed away from teen films. Well, it wasn't my choice. I wasn't hired.

At school I was always trying to con my teachers into letting me act out book reports instead of writing them.

I get concerned when I see kids on their phones. They don't read enough anymore, anything longer than a tweet.

What I remember about coming to L.A. is that suddenly work was as big a presence in my life as my life itself.

I love my onscreen frenemy, Dianna Agron! Having the opportunity to work so closely with her has been amazing.

I need some me-time. I have to remember to rest, because I have a natural energy and I don't want to burn out.

But inside, I'm going, 'Oh my God, is my zipper up? Do I have a booger in my nose?' That's my inner monologue.

Success to me is being happy, truly fulfilled, being proud of myself, and doing different things all the time.

I am happy as happiness goes, for a woman who has so many memories and who lives the lonely life of an actress

When I did start writing books, I didn't realize it, but the girls that grew up watching the show became moms.

If only we could accept that there is no difference between us where human values are concerned. Whatever sex.

I feel lucky because most of my friends aren't married. So I don't feel that, 'oh, step on it, you're thirty.'

We were the victims of the new producer but what annoyed me was they told the press we were leaving before us.

I really love poetry. I'm a big E.E. Cummings fan and a big Walt Whitman fan, and I have a big book of poetry.

I need very little to work, because I learned how to make movies on tiny movies. It's all kind of easy for me.
