I love any opportunity to be able to dance. It's in my blood. I mean, I need to do it as an artist. I need to always do it.

I can't see any difference in having your hair dyed, your teeth fixed, your nose done, or your face smoothed out or lifted.

If I'm a criminal, and I'm confronted with a 7-foot tall cop and an albino cop, I'm gonna be so lost, I'm spilling my guts.

I'm really low maintenance for a girl. I pretty much shower, attempt to fix my hair, throw on some mineral make up, and go.

There have been times when I have deliberately tried to take my life... I think I must have been crying for some attention.

You have to be smart enough not to dismiss where you came from. It may not be all we are, but it makes up for a great deal.

Something that's such a joy in my life every day - cooking - is this incredible, horrific danger to women around the world.

It actually makes perfect sense why women in Hollywood get so skinny: because it's a way of controlling how people see you.

Shakespeare - it's not funny. No matter how they try to make Shakespeare funny, when it's meant to be funny it's not funny.

I am proud to be a vegetarian and I am against those who eat meat. Go green to be fit, that's the best way for me at least.

Even if you're an angry, intense person, you also have to have intense joy about life and intense feelings about the world.

The rule of improvisation I took to heart was, 'Don't think.' I tend to over-think things, so that was a big lesson for me.

I was a wayward child, very passionate and very determined. If I made up my mind to do something, there was no stopping me.

I have been a parent since I was 25. That's a large chunk of my adult life. Mother or father, it transforms you completely.

I grew up as a fan of comic books, and I've been reading them for so long that I've never felt an affinity toward just one.

It's so weird that I play this woman who pretty much deals with violence on a daily basis, and I'm such a wimp in who I am.

Sometimes I wonder if men and women really suit each other. Perhaps they should live next door and just visit now and then.

Love has nothing to do with what you are expecting to get - only with what you are expecting to give - which is everything.

There are generations of women who left the workforce to be moms, and their kids grow up, and they think, "Well, what now?"

I'm at that great level where fans will stop and say 'hi,' which I love, but the paparazzi don't care, which is incredible.

I think fashion is like putting on armor. I like that aspect of it, but it's not something I want to think about every day.

I would love to direct videos and that's what it keeps moving towards, but I have to stop being scared in order to do that.

I don't ever think about the roads I didn't take because I spend too much time thinking what's ahead. I don't go backwards.

When you do a rewrite, it's really about serving the director's vision, and what the director needs to go into that script.

There is a part of me that is not fulfilled by acting. It is a self-involved life; it can feel shallow, but not very often.

My family believe you should never be flashy about anything. Maybe that handicapped me a little bit, that extreme humility.

I try to make my heart beat out of my chest, hard-core, once a day for at least a half hour. I think that's very important.

I was a huge fan of 'Arrested Development,' and there's just something it tickles in me and it's bright and it's hilarious.

People still take it really personally. They come up to me at breakfast places like, 'When are you growing your hair back?'

There are many ways to be a mother. I have a lot of young actors I mentor, and my nieces and my nephews need a lot of love.

There seems to be a theme running through the women I play. They take their circumstances and try to make the best of them.

My mother told me that when I was born a wave of feeling came over her. She just knew that I was destined to be an actress.

Usually, about 85 percent of what the tabloids report is a lie. Over the last year, I can truly say it has been 99 percent.

My mother and I have always had a very close relationship, so I wanted to honor my mom by naming my daughter Julia as well.

Hopefully, film inspires you to think about human nature. It make us consider how we treat strangers and our most intimate.

I expected it to be overwhelming and all-encompassing, but having a kid brings you into the world in a whole different way.

I think women are amazing and womens friendships are like a sisterhood and we should see more of it in television and film.

I love being physical, but I am extreme either way. I can be superfit. And then I can be really lazy and ignore everything.

The more you love something, the worse you tend to audition. If you don't really care about something, you kind of nail it.

I was teased relentlessly when I was a kid about my voice, so it's kind of nice that now I'm making a lot of money with it.

I am my parents' daughter, and I always want to be. But I first wanted to make sure that I was standing on my own two feet.

The trouble with plastic surgery is that after 10 years, gravity wins out and you have to have another one in a year or so.

I want to interact with my fans, and I want to let people know what I'm doing and stuff like that because I'd want to know.

I want to act and direct like Jodie Foster. I admire her because she went to college and she is still doing the same thing.

Go for the girl who can eat a proper meal. If she's passionate about food, you'll most likely be fortunate in other venues.

There is a certain expectation of girls to eventually grow up and behave and fall in line. I've always bucked against that.

When you work with chains or any kind of weapons, or just when you're using hand-to-hand combat, you are going to get hurt.

I just adore RuPaul... this guy is a tireless worker, just with everything that he does, and I just think he's so fabulous.

I wouldn't play the normal girl. I don't think that that's interesting or realistic, as far as how human beings really are.

Most people, almost everyone knows of a teen mom. Teen pregnancy rates are growing, and we need to bring awareness to that.
