I had no idea what 'Life is Strange' was going to be when I auditioned. I had no idea what 'Horizon' was going to be when I auditioned.

I want to go to New Zealand. I have no idea what it's like, and in my head, everyone lives in/on an ice lake, so I'd like to come stay.

I don't need a bedroom to prove my womanliness. I can convey just as much sex appeal picking apples off a tree or standing in the rain.

I can testify to what UNICEF means to children because I was among those who received food and medical relief right after World War II.

I wouldn't mind being in an American film for a laugh, but I certainly don't want to be in Thingy Blah Blah 3, if you know what I mean.

The thing I love about television is that people watch you in their pajamas, and when they're eating dinner. You're part of the family.

I am not like my image; I take my work so seriously. Everyone thinks I just bounce in, but I study and everything has to be just right.

I find that if I use my time well and take care of my mind/body when I'm outside of work, then I feel more supported throughout my day.

I was thought to be 'stuck up.' I wasn't. I was just sure of myself. This is and always has been an unforgivable quality to the unsure.

I'm the luckiest broad on two feet, I'll tell you that. They say once a woman passes 40 she doesn't get any good parts, so I'm blessed.

I won't wear fur-never, ever. I'm an animal lover. I wouldn't even wear faux fur. I prefer to go the cheap route and not shave my legs.

I am probably more critical of myself than anyone else, I am very tiny - 5'1 and a half inches - so there's nowhere for weight to hide.

Sometimes you pick up on the myth and it's just an accident. I think it comes naturally out of people, and some people are aware of it.

I was the type of person that would show a PowerPoint presentation about why I should do something versus crying and screaming over it.

You can fall in love with anyone. I naturally migrate toward men first; some people may be more open about it. Personally, it's not me.

It's weird people think my kids will be in therapy because of their names. Guys, my kids will be therapy for LOTS of reasons, I'm sure.

Even though I do a more traditional type of being funny on television, I still know a lot of comedians and stand-ups and improv actors.

My children make me cry on a daily basis about everything. Tears of joy, tears of pain, tears of sadness - all the tears, all the time.

Believe me, you can get into a lot of trouble being sixteen years old in a foreign country with no adult telling you when to come home.

People can get crazier as they get older. I can just be weird whenever I want, and there's the freedom of not caring what people think.

It's great to know that young black girls are seeing themselves on TV as leading ladies, and I'm part of that. It's just such an honor.

As a creative person, you need to sort of spread your wings and try different things out because each one really does inform the other.

Daddy, when he drank, just became sweeter. There wasn't a mean thought in his body. I've always said he was like a drunk Jimmy Stewart.

From here on out, there's just reality. I think that's what maturity is: a stoic response to endless reality. But then, what do I know?

I spent a year in a 12-step program, really committed, because I could not believe what had happened - that I might have killed myself.

I love to play women who are strong and unapologizing and kind of rough around the edges and don't care what anybody thinks about that.

I'm incredibly fortunate to have met the intelligent, generous, risk-taking, stimulating man to whom I am married. He's really amazing.

I love vampire stories. That's why I did the movie. Women especially were taken with that movie-even more so when it came out on video.

Usually I'll just eat popcorn, but if theaters would sell me goat cheese and garlic with Triscuit crackers, I'd give them all my money.

I haven't found a comfortable place onstage. I'm sure it doesn't have to be comfortable, but I'm very nervous, so I don't enjoy myself.

Heart disease is no laughing matter. After my father suffered a massive heart attack, I realized just how serious heart disease can be.

I carry a disposable camera. It takes me back to my childhood, when you had to develop your film and wait to see what pictures you got.

Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets. So, love the people who treat you right and forget about the ones who do not.

I've done over 125 posters and I have worked with some of the best photographers in the world.They made me America's Number one Pin Up.

I hadn't been free from adult responsibilities since I was 12, and I needed to experience that. I really needed to just be a kid again.

I am the opposite of boring, but I'm a little reckless, and I'm not against taking risks, and I think I'm always down for an adventure.

I actually speak fluent English and Spanish and... I dabble in a couple of languages, but I'm not fluent in German, Russian and Arabic.

I find dates, in general, horrific. We have to sit there and ask these questions and pretend to eat a meal, and it just feels so stiff.

Nobody knows what a woman feels or experiences but another woman. We are the nurturers and there are times when we need to be nurtured.

There's no reason to stereotype yourself. Doing math is like going to the gym - it's a workout for your brain and it makes you smarter.

It wasn't until I saw 'The Color Purple' on Broadway when I was 15 that I really solidified acting is what I want to do professionally.

Instead of looking in the mirror and focusing on your flaws, look in the mirror and appreciate your best features... everyone has them.

I'm certainly not the first person to be in a relationship with a younger man, but somehow I was plucked out as a bit of a poster girl.

I feel like a total hippie right now. I'm passionate about all sorts of things - a lot of boring, cuddly Hallmark things, to be honest.

I hate women who say they can eat whatever they want, because I don't relate to that at all. It isn't fair! I absolutely live for food.

Whether you're throwing up or breaking up, you want your girlfriend right there! I don't trust women who don't go to their girlfriends.

My own mum cared about Hollywood, and I didn't. I wanted to act, and I loved the creativity of it, but I didn't care for the lifestyle.

I care about money, very much. I want it. I don't ever want to be without it. My mother once said about me, 'Elaine has to have money.'

When you get to your mid-20s, you start to feel responsibilities for the things that you do and the people around you. It's a cool age.

I am to a fault an introspective person. But I am not a reflective person - except for a big mistake, and then I really think about it.
