I'm the only one in my family - I'm a practicing Jew - who has attached themselves to religion in a more traditional way.

I am definitely feeling 'intimate.' I'm kind of unstoppable at the moment! Like the big 'O' is like the biggest 'O' ever.

On 'Awkward,' we really like to send the message out that we're relatable, and that we get what people are going through.

I used to get nervous about three weeks before a gig... now I've managed to condense it down to a manageable ten minutes.

Everything becomes magnified at night. Sounds travel in a different way, it's dark, and everything seems far more spooky.

People are so different in reality from the picture created of them on TV. So it's all a creation; everything is made up.

I have a lot of male friends that I go the cinema with and movie and shopping. A lot of men friends I know love shopping.

So-called designer bags are useless, and most are also ugly, faddish and overpriced. Pared down and sleek is always best.

It seems there's just no room left for elegance in this paper-plate, blue-jean world. And I, for one, think it's a shame.

There are two things that I put my focus on. One is the fight against AIDS and finding a cure. The other is human rights.

Acting is a very limited form of expression and those who take it seriously are very limited people. I take it seriously.

As each sun rises, it is your choice to wait for some special day to celebrate, or to celebrate that each day is special.

I wouldn't miss the fame. I don't go out hunting for it. I try to avoid it and to slip into the background wherever I go.

I really didn't know who Dario [Argento] was. I didn't know who Harvey Keitel was. It was a wonderful experience, though.

Some people enjoy celebrity. I admire those who do, because if you're going to go through it, you might as well enjoy it.

The strong is not the one who can put on the blades at a glance, and the one who is able to raise a smile from his knees!

For a woman, body image is always a palpable thing. Weirdly, for me, the only time I don't care is when I'm in character.

I have some very good friends who've written memoirs, but it's not for me. It's just not a format that I'm interested in.

On her daughter's pet rabbit: I don't think he liked being in a cage and wouldn't stop masturbating and humping his bowl.

It's not refreshing where there is confusion or any kind of discomfort in a group that has to work that closely together.

I do think it's important for young women to know that magazine covers are retouched. People don't really look like that.

I'm often moved by the circumstances around some of my characters, but I don't think I've actually cried watching myself.

It's a sad day when a cartoon is doing more and cares more and pays more attention to the environment than our president.

When I read scripts and when I read books, it's more of an emotional response and I was really drawn to these characters.

On 'Skins,' we only ever filmed for a couple of months in the summer. When I wasn't on set, I was doing my normal things.

In the adverts, I look like I do because 150 people have spent seven hours making me look dazzling. That's not me at all.

I seem to be attracted to the quiet, brooding type. But not too brooding. Too brooding can be narcissistic. Or psychotic.

In American cinema, people will take a chance on you, though they'll often remind you that really, they always liked you.

A mother's love is supposed to be unconditional. That you could give your child up, over their sexuality, is unthinkable.

I think that most human beings go through some sort of depression in their life. And if they don't, I think that's weird.

If I was going to do anything, I'd be a producer, only because I'd like to have a say in what gets made and what doesn't.

People do horrible things when they're young. There might be betrayal and there might be things that should be forgotten.

Certainly situation comedy is harder than people who are good at it make it look, but it's fun to do something different.

I've always really liked being active. I do Spinning classes, I run, I have a trainer, I do Pilates with my sister Shade.

I've always been proud of my body, my Jewish nose and all of that. Hollywood's Hollywood, but that's not going to change.

One of my favorite things about 'Spring Awakening' is that it is enjoyable and important for both kids and adults to see.

You know how you're supposed to choose between playing up your eyes or your lips? I always choose lips. I love the drama.

I'm so sick of seeing these movies where married couples are just cuddling on the couch and caressing each other's faces.

I didn't think I was a humorless shrew in 'Knocked Up.' I think the women are just as funny as the men are in that movie.

It's very hard when you're doing a new play that you believe in, and you want to tell the story in the best way possible.

The phone company handles 84 billion calls a year-everything from kings, queens, and presidents to the scum of the earth.

It's flattering that people want to know so much about me and want to take the time to make up that many things about me.
