You take a plug and put it in a socket, and that's what the theatre is-it lights up right away. You speak, and they respond immediately.

Lil Wayne and I are really close. We have a really close, personal relationship, and I really like him a lot. We have a great chemistry.

I work, and I'm a full-time mom, and it's hard for me to sit down and relax because it's like, 'Crap, there's something I'm forgetting.'

Being on the cover of a magazine with my son is the best thing ever. It took me 18 years to get my first cover, he gets one at 8 months.

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'd love to shoot something in Toronto; I'd love to bring something to Canada. I'm dying to shoot something in Vancouver where I'm from.

When you become comfortable in your own skin, it actually makes you appear more attractive because you're just confident in who you are.

Coco is the greatest part of my life. I love everything about being a mom, but our talks and walks on the beach are my favorite moments.

Most of the time I think we're really pretty positive and optimistic, and we're so lucky to have the life that we have and had with him.

My assumption is I'm not going to be recognized. But when I am, I'm like, "Dang, you know who I am?" I always think I look so different.

We speak loud. And we speak with our hands, but we're not aggressive like warwise. A Portuguese is not going to punch you for no reason.

I started my career in Portugal, and the longest I've ever played a character was for about a year, which is how long our TV shows last.

I'm always competitive, but if I didn't win fair and square, I didn't win. And I want to win if I'm genuinely better than my competitor.

I grew up in Dutch Harbor, Alaska - a place so tiny, we got only one channel on TV. The high school and middle school had 50 kids total!

The only time I did not know how to be, physically, was when I lost a lot of weight. That was the only time I didn't understand my body.

That's the weird thing about not being married - you can't get regular kissing; you can't be guaranteed of it, and that's a great shame.

Desmo is my guard dog, but he has a sweet side, too. Nothing entertains him (or me) more than when I blow bubbles and he can chase them.

I think we need that to ground us as human beings. I would imagine after an extended amount of time, a vampire might stall a little bit.

I have enjoyed a wonderful run in films, so far, and I may, at some point, come back. But it will be in my own time and in my own style.

I don't see how I possibly could have come from where I entered the planet to where I am now if there had not been angels along the way.

I was such a late bloomer I didn’t have feelings towards men or women, and frankly I was a little surprised when it turned out to be men

I love writing, directing and photography; if I could figure out a way to put the three things together, that's what I would love to do.

I was so happy I didn't have to work that night. That was the truth, because show business is about the hardest profession in the world.

There is a vital force in rumor. Though crushed to earth, to all intents and purposes buried, it can rise again without apparent effort.

I feel like my first conversation with someone, I really get a good feeling about who that person is and mainly about how open they are.

I suppose when they reach a certain age some men are afraid to grow up. It seems the older the men get, the younger their new wives get.

I think, because I've been working for a while, I've been working since I was ten, I had the fortune of reading a lot, a lot of scripts.

I usually sob in 'Scandal,' and I don't even know what it is. I just sob. 'Cause I usually watch it alone, too, and I'll binge-watch it.

If I weren't acting, I would own my own chocolate shop in Paris. I would be a nice, overweight person that makes chocolate all day long.

I've probably earned the right to screw up a few times. I don't want the fear of failure to stop me from doing what I really care about.

You need a strong family because at the end, they will love you and support you unconditionally. Luckily, I have my dad, mom and sister.

I don't play Hollywood maids, the hee-hee kind of people who are so in love with their madam's children they have no time for their own.

When I'm not working I just like to be comfortable: I love black, nothing tight, no heels, no make-up - it's nice to be able to breathe!

When somebody walks into a room they give off a certain kind of vibe or whatever and at that point that's how you're going to cast them.

My goal with every show we put on Geek & Sundry is to make it that big of a success, not just within the video but within fandom itself.

I think in every character there are aspects of yourself that you bring to it. But then it would be really boring to just play yourself.

Of everything I have done, 'The Archers' always gets the most excitement; there's a sort of uncontrollable joy from fans of the program.

I cry at the end of every episode of "Girls." I'm just so overwhelmed by the truthfulness with which [Lena Dunham] conveys human nature.

There's still a great hesitancy in the Irish make up about expressing feelings... it'd be nice to say I miss you, I love you, come home.

When I first went to New York I was right out of high school, I was 17 years old, and I had never seen a building over two stories high.

I've never been too afraid of what other people have said, especially when I was younger, but I suppose that was the arrogance of youth.

I am not going to share my private life with millions of people. I don't find a need to do that and nobody else close to me does either.

You can be revered for all sorts of qualities, but to be truly charismatic is rare. Elizabeth Taylor was, for me, one of those rarities.

You can love more than one person in your life, but things will be different. There'll be a different dynamic. Needs and desires change.

I have made a public statement about me and Ralph by being seen with him. I don't need to make any other. You can live the way you want.

I've spent the better part of two decades running both toward and away from an image - the Hollywood image - that had come to define me.

I was a daydreamer, and there is a lot of history and geography and science I missed out on because I was in my head. And I regret that.

I'm not really that keen on mainstream; I'm not interested in doing the normal films. I do tend to go for the quirky, different scripts.

Not surprisingly, there is a cultural divide between American and British actors regarding the self-promotion associated with new media.

I always feel like a vague failure in L.A. - it always makes me feel like I should somehow be different than I am. And I don't know why.
