I'm deeply, deeply passionate about creating peace and well-being in the classroom, and well-being as a global nation.

Sexiness is a state of mind - a comfortable state of being. It's about loving yourself in your most unlovable moments.

I think my feet are my sexiest body part. People I find really sexy include Angelina Jolie, George Clooney and my mum.

I always had to prove myself through my actions. Be a cheerleader. Be class president. Be the editor of the newspaper.

My strangest experience was my six words in 'Star Wars.' I've had more fanmail from that than anything I've ever done.

I am a Christian, but I also dont really see myself as a religious person. I see myself as more of a spiritual person.

American men, as a group, seem to be interested in only two things, money and breasts. It seems a very narrow outlook.

That's the thing with animated films - I often feel that puppets get the better parts compared to us normal actresses.

The traditional rules for having children are long gone. Some days I feel like the harder choice is to not have a kid.

I knew I wanted to act, and I was really driven, so I kept going for it. We moved to L.A. full-time when I was 8 or 9.

There's no negatives. You just have to trust that what's happening in your life is unfolding in exactly the right way.

I'm a risk-taker. It's where my passion lies, so I don't want to play it safe. That means I'm going to fail sometimes.

Am I incapable of living with the one sole guarantee, that I'm still here? Am I afraid of living because I fear death?

After 'Broadcast News,' I could have played that same part, but I didn't want to. So I didn't follow it up with a hit.

A lot of my snacks are healthy. I love things like hummus, carrots, and celery, but I will never give up potato chips.

Many women arrange their lives around the people they love. Unfortunately, that arrangement takes up most of our days.

I never kill insects. If I see ants or spiders in the room, I pick them up and take them outside. Karma is everything.

Who am I, if I'm not this singer with big high notes? I identify with my voice. But I'm more than just the acrobatics.

I think it's kind of crazy that we're still calling comedians "female comedians." That seems more like a sneak attack.

Very few people, thank God, look like the pictures of them which are published in the papers and the weekly magazines.

Being proud of who we are as people is more important than cutting into ourselves to create this false idea of beauty.

I don't really watch many heist movies. Actually, I have quite eclectic tastes but I tend to watch just foreign films.

Know this, if someone has cheated on you who truly loves you, they have hurt themselves as much as they have hurt you.

Good mothers make all kinds of choices. Making a decision that might sound selfish does not make a woman a bad mother.

I think my capacity to change has given me tremendous happiness, because who I am today I am completely content to be.

I don't ever want to make taking pictures into another way of saying 'Here I am'. Because I'm as here as I want to be.

I'm a human being who lives a flawed, contradictory life. And I have all sorts of problems and all sorts of successes.

Teach girls to read and to work at something where they can bring home money - and the entire balance of power shifts.

Women are rising. And I think that's all the violence and war - it could be the last gasp of the patriarchy, actually.

Perfection is a toxic desire. We are not supposed to be perfect. The challenge is not to be perfect, it's to be whole.

So much is made of good, strong roles for women. Actually, it's really interesting playing vul­nerable people as well.

I don't think that I want to meet any of the icons. I don't think that anybody can quite live up to your expectations.

I have to admit that I was a little nervous when I showed up for my first official 'Wreck-It Ralph' recording session.

I have a big family. Even though it's only three kids in our family, it's always aunts and uncles and the whole thing.

A lot of the songs in 'See Jane Sing!' are pulled straight from the kitchen table and my parents harmonizing together.

I do mostly British projects, and for family reasons and life reasons Britain's my home, where I have a lovely garden.

I think, coming from an improv/sketch background, I'm just used to having people around me to feed off of and support.

Belief is such a powerful thing - but because it is, it can also be very destructive and it's very easily manipulated.

If I'm with a group of people, I'm okay, but actually I'm quite a nervous person if I'm just one-to-one with somebody.

There's not much TV these days where you really get that element of surprise. There are so many spoilers all the time.

I never thought that I would be so attracted to television, but I don't think gigs like 'Dexter' come along too often.

My own style influences have to do with where I grew up, in the Bronx, and I still like to wear bangles and big hoops!

Blaming is so much easier than taking responsibility, because if you take responsibility … then you might be to blame.

'To Kill A Mockingbird' is one of my favourite novels, my mum brought me up reading it, and it never fails to move me.

To be my man, you have to put up with a lot. I toot under the sheets, I spend a lot of money and I can belch the ABCs.

I love that I can dream about paisley, and then two months later, someone's wearing it. I'm basically styling America.

I like men. They are hugely entertaining, but they have a lot of shortcomings and you just have to bear those in mind.

I was never the 'babe,' so I knew I'd never get those big roles. I'd always be the best friend or the quirky sidekick.

More important, you have to stay happy and positive or the stress will kill you - but at least it will make you skinny

You've gotta wonder what kind of vibe you're putting out there if you're having really creepy people come talk to you.
