I know in our mainstream culture, the loudest voices and the most shocking voices are the ones that get the noise.

I'm from New York, I make kind of somewhat maybe lewd, at times - maybe some would say dirty - jokes. But in jest.

Artistically, you want to be able to do a lot of things that can challenge you to not just stay in the same thing.

I do everything for my fans. I do my clothing line, my fragrance, my TV show, my music everything is based on them

Sometimes fans for male pop stars or actors can be a little crazy. I was that way with Jesse McCartney and N'Sync.

I'm always like 'I'm too skinny, I can't gain weight, even when I try.' I'd like to try to not let that get to me.

When it comes to sexuality, sensuality, self-representation, self-nurturance - America fails in those departments.

Alcohol is a big part of high school. I went through my little phase. I don't know one high schooler that doesn't.

Jessica Lange in Frances... was dramatic and passionate and one of the strongest performances I've seen a woman do

It's one thing to play a character that's fictitious - it's quite another to play somebody that is alive and well.

I think anybody who was ever saddened by a movie theater closing would be able to understand this film [Aquarius].

I firmly believe we can make our own miracles if we believe strongly enough in ourselves and our mission on earth.

I was not interested in what I could bring to myself by being an actress, but in what I could bring out of myself.

I've chosen not to talk about my really private life to the press - I've never invited a huge amount of attention.

I'm on Twitter. I created my account for my fans, and I do respond back once in a while, because they're so great.

If I grow older like my mum, I'll be happy. She's never touched her face. She has laughter lines but looks lovely.

What I really want is a commercial hit. If you're in a hit, you're suddenly a star, whether you acted well or not.

We really have a lot of fun at these sessions, we all get along and kid around with each other throughout the job.

I went to a Catholic school with 40 kids total. There were no cliques, but I suppose I was the 'sporty good girl.'

I do myself up kind of like a doll. I have a doll collection and I look at their outfits and kind of imitate them.

I put a limited time on the blues. I say, 'I allowed myself to be blue for four hours, and now I'm going to stop.'

I can't stand when people say, Don't hate me because I'm beautiful. OK, how about I hate you because you said that

I made The War Zone when I had just given birth to twins, and my post-partum frame was very much on display there.

Whatever the problem, be part of the solution. Don’t just sit around raising questions and pointing out obstacles.

We do learn something about ourselves when we are up against the wall, and we do most certainly come out stronger.

Hitchcock had a charm about him. He was very funny at times. He was incredibly brilliant in his field of suspense.

I have so much respect for people in the service. The mental strength it takes to do what they do is unbelievable.

I am a greedy actor in the sense that I like the big bites. Put a big fat steak in front of me, and I will eat it.

I'd like to classify my life as a romantic comedy. Unfortunately I feel it's probably more like a TV reality show.

My parents wanted us to be well-rounded individuals and really have the American experiences as richly as one can.

Acting probably saved my life. It gave me a home and a safe place to let out all of my emotions and have it be ok.

I'm very proudly European. I love that we have stories to tell of a place where we come from and we can relate to.

I like to find things in real life that let me get involved. Or if you need a break, go hang out with your family.

I have lots of passions - gardens, art, music and reading. I have eclectic taste and read a huge variety of books.

I get really insecure because even though I can speak in musician's terms, I don't know as much as real musicians.

I always wanted to be as busy as possible so that if one job went away I'd still have plenty of other things to do.

It's always been the genres that fascinated me. I think great action movies and great thrillers are transformative.

I started out really into musical theater. So you can imagine I was super popular. I wasn't awkward looking at all.

I don't clean, I don't make the bed. I spend my salary. I worry a lot. I just don't worry about socks on the floor.

Hollywood is something else. It's such an exaggerated idea. The concept of what 'beautiful' really is is ludicrous.

Don't denounce our pain as savage. What's savage is the cruel inhumanity and brutality of the police. Condemn that.

Find out who you are & embrace it. It's so much easier to face criticism when you are comfortable in your own skin.

Hold yourself on your own. A man's job in a romantic dynamic is not to be your butler, bank account or your father.

Saying "yes" doesn't mean I don't know how to say no, and saying "please" doesn't mean I am waiting for permission.

Since losing my legs, I've found out that I am able to help other people by sharing how I've overcome my obstacles.

Life comes with many challenges. The ones that should not scare us are the ones we can take on and take control of.

I feel matured in a way that I'm happy about. I'm at this other stage in my life - and it's not a bad thing at all.
