Nothing ever comes to an end. Wherever one has sunk roots that emanate from one's best or truest self, one will always find a home.

But God really did bless me, you know? He really said, All right. Come on. I'm still waiting for you. Get over here. Get over here.

Initially, I wanted to be an ice skater, but then when I was 13 I saw Bye Bye Birdie, and that was it - I wanted to be on Broadway.

I can't imagine dating a boy, meeting him only outside the home. What's a home and family for if it's not the center of one's life?

I will always love 'Full House.' It's become so iconic. It was such a long-running, successful show with people that I really love.

No one teaches you how to be a famous person; no one teaches you how to be a role model. It's something you have to do on your own.

I don't really see myself as an accomplished person. I just worked hard and got opportunities to do what I love. I've been blessed.

I can't take much pride in my childhood acting. It feels like it happened in another lifetime, and even then, it felt like a hobby.

I would ask my dad what he did, and he'd say, 'I listen to people's problems.' In some way what he did for a living is in my genes.

I like singing practically more than anything else, and I want to be the best, but I don't want to sacrifice time with my children.

I'm looking forward to becoming a marvelous - excuse the word marvelous - character actress. like Marie Dressler, like Will Rogers.

There are obviously people who want to be very niche, but I think for the most part everybody is trying to reach a larger audience.

My weakness is pizza, any form of carbohydrate. I like junk carbohydrates, I like cheap greasy cheeseburgers, quality french fries.

I think the hardest part to get to is that point of asking for help or reaching out to other people and being honest with yourself.

I don't wear pants, or like them; I'm a Jewish woman who's made the decision to wear skirts, so I wear mostly skirts past the knee.

I've seen shows on Showtime, and they're very provocative, if you will, but nothing to the point that's over-the-top or gratuitous.

This is the first time in my life I've had hair this short. It's always been down to my waist. I can't hide behind my hair any more

To get the hippie out of certain characters is probably the most difficult thing for me. I was not a hippie by choice but by birth.

I'm certainly not shy, but I like playing it because I love those characters that are incredibly confident but really still a mess.

Dancers are kept in a perpetual state of pre-puberty, and for young girls in particular, that type of pressure breeds insecurities.

I've been working since I was 14, and my father, being very conservative, has always been strict about my having a savings account.

I do find comedy difficult. I don't know why. Maybe I think about it too much. There's a tremendous amount of pressure to be funny.

My favorite part of my body is my brain. I think no matter what my body looks like I wont be satisfied unless I know how to use it.

I just don't know anything about jazz, really. I've never really listened to it, but I'd definitely like to discover more about it.

There was a weird, innate kind of understanding between me and Christina (Ricci). A psychic told us we were sisters in a past life.

Five inches of snow in five inch heels, you can't look sexy and you can't look like you know what you're doing because you're fall.

I have four shelves covered with journals that I've written. Dad and I are writing songs together. I've probably written 100 songs.

The reason I never want a book to end is that I start to feel like the characters are my friends. I'll miss them when they're gone.

Bringing all 45 members of my crazy family together, and watching them argue is super awesome. It's good to do it just once a year.

People who were gay were pitied and ridiculed by my parents - they had no modern sense of people being allowed to be who they were.

I've done kissing scenes with people who have been loaded. I'd think, 'Do you actually have to drink that Jack Daniels to kiss me?'

I think we can all be divas, but as an actress, you can't only be the diva; that would be boring. But sometimes, perhaps, it's fun.

I would much rather watch a horror film or science fiction than a comedy. I don't know why. I just like them. I find them relaxing.

I had the opportunity to wear Hearts On Fire jewelry on the red carpet and just loved the way their diamonds made me look and feel.

One of the hallmarks of the sign of Aquarius is the campaign for justice. Everybody is my brother. Justice is very important to me.

I get so bummed when I have to return the clothes I'm lent. It's easy to feel so special, but like Cinderella, you lose your shoes.

I would love to play Wonder Woman; I have the abilities and the strength because I am definitely not the typical Hollywood actress.

I think my roles have been wonderfully varied. Not one has been racially stereotypical, and I have purposely chosen them like that.

I always ask myself, would I want someone to do something that wasn't comfortable for them just to please me? And the answer is no.

I am more a teenager than anyone else I know. One minute I feel really adult and the next minute I say, 'Let's play hide-and-seek.'

I don't want to sound superficial, but when I go see a movie myself, I'd rather look at Tom Cruise than some shmo with a beer belly

It's the warmest, loveliest community I've ever set foot in. For me, it's the perfect place to live. It's the best part of America.

I'm pretty captivated by reality TV and I know that as an actor I probably shouldn't be saying that, but it's what I like to watch.

I never really look for anything. What God throws my way comes. I wake up in the morning and whichever way God turns my feet, I go.

I want to have babies one day but not right now. When I do it I want to do it really well. I want it to be my best project in life.

I am comfortable talking about sex scenes and stuff, but to me, when it's physically explicit, I do feel prudish and uncomfortable.

I don't think there's an actor in the world who ever expects to get a call from the 'Star Wars' casting director - least of all me.

Everybody involved in Pixar, I've not met one person who's not incredibly creative and nice and lovely and know what they're doing.

Average. It was the worst, most disgusting word in the English language. Nothing meaningful or worthwhile ever came from that word.

Jokes that are gratuitously offensive are synonymous with bad writing to me. I'm offended as a writer first and as a person second.
