You watch award shows, and not only are you not nominated, but you're not a presenter and haven't been invited to any of the parties.

What I've learned about acting is that it needs to be mysterious. If you overthink how a beat needs to be played, it can trip you up.

I love Dior products. They have this Capture Totale One Essential Skin Boosting Super Serum that gives you fresh, glowing, dewy skin.

With some people, that love of music is just buried in them. It's so deep in them that they would play for free because they have to.

Theatre is immediate, it's alive, you're there with the audience, it can't be done again and again and again and again, it's organic.

I like to step outside of what people's idea of me might be. I suppose that makes me a bit of a rule-breaker. I like to take chances.

My grandmother lives with my mother in a gorgeous house in the San Fernando Valley. I am afforded these luxuries, and I'm very young.

You'll never be disappointed if you always keep an eye on uncharted territory, where you'll be challenged and growing and having fun.

I have photographs taken of me at the time I was addicted, and thought I looked good. I see them today and realize my eyes were dead.

At parties, I'll start talking and notice everyone is looking at me and feel dumb and say, 'Forget it,' and then start eating things.

When the script for 'Once' came my way, I had the thought that maybe it will last only a season. But I was willing to take that risk.

All kids are selfish. I wanted to do homework and do my thing and call my agent. My mother's needs weren't in my mind at that moment.

Stay true to your own voice, and don't worry about needing to be liked or what anybody else thinks. Keep your eyes on your own paper.

I think people do their bravest work when given an elusive canvas. That would be seemingly the weirdest, but also the most wonderful.

You don't always get to work as much as you like, because I'm waiting to find things that I care about. Sometimes that's frustrating.

When I stopped eating meat, I fell in love with East Indian food - there's so much selection, and they use the most beautiful spices.

Modest. When they meet me, they think I'm going to be outgoing, but I like things low-key. I don't like people to think I'm bragging.

My beauty secret is to try to keep my heart as open and happy as I can, because it really makes the sad lines on my face look better.

I had been a ballet dancer and never could make a living, and just being so excited that I got to, all of a sudden, live as an actor.

Men have just come up to me and asked for my number right away. That doesn't work. You have to know somebody and have a conversation.

When you get your show - that's what 'King of Queens' was for me. That was my part; that was my show - I was meant to have that part.

Since being quite young, I've had a very strong sense of independence and survival. As a child, I was on my own two feet emotionally.

Don't paint a nasty picture of your exes. We'll justifiably wonder what made you stay in those heinous situations in the first place.

Never stop moving, or you'll stop moving. I go to dance class every morning, and it's just good to stay strong; I like being healthy.

If you meet a girl who has slept with 100 guys, you will think something of her you wouldn't think of a guy who slept with 100 girls.

As a brunette, I had previously been this serious actress. Then I became a blonde and got to play a completely different, comic role.

We live at the edge of the world, so we live on the edge. Kiwis will always sacrifice money and security for adventure and challenge.

But when this happens to you - and I think other people would identify with this - suddenly, colors are brighter. You see everything.

I went to a Christian school, and as a kid, we weren't allowed to really watch anything violent, even 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.'

An actor is somebody who communicates someone else's words and emotions to an audience. It's not me. It's what writers want me to be.

It's huge in the U.K., if someone's doing well, to put them down. That's what we do all the time. It's kind of like a cultural thing.

Love and work are the only two real things in our lives. They belong together, otherwise it is off. Work is in itself a form of love.

Suicide, is a persons privilege. I don't believe it's a sin or a crime it's your right if you do. Though it doesn't get you anywhere.

I guess I have always been deeply terrified to really be someone's wife since I know from life one cannot love another, ever, really.

An actor is supposed to be a sensitive instrument. Isaac Stern takes good care of his violin. What if everybody jumped on his violin?

I am proud to be a role model for my viewers. I am finding out that helping victims is as or more rewarding the all the awards I win.

It was my life, playing Juliet. From that moment on I was convinced I was going to be an actress. That was all I really wanted to do.

It would be really great if people would realize that stars are only people with the same weaknesses and flaws, not immaculate idols.

I love what you might call brutal elegance. Where form and function are really obvious. There is nothing easily broken in this house.

I'll quit coffee. It won't be easy drinking my Bailey's straight, but I'll get used to it. It'll still be the best part of waking up.

I do think there are trends in your life once youve been auditioning long enough. I was the angry teenager and then the sweet victim.

I didn't go to Catholic school but I had a tough teacher, a tough math teacher.I remember everything that guy taught me. I really do.

When I got Trophy Wife, the first fear is, This could go away; the second is, Its here and I love it; I hope it gets a second season.

I liked getting up at 4 in the morning, driving on the freeway, and going in and stocking shelves and laughing with the stock clerks.

When I go to work and when I'm in the public eye, I take much better care of myself. Because when I'm not working, I do indulge more.

I have never understood that. I come from a place where the press makes or breaks an actor and it is more of a teamwork relationship.

Confidence, not cockiness. Knowing who you are is confidence. Cockiness is knowing who you are and pushing it down everyone's throat.
