I enjoy taking on complex, difficult characters and have always striven to capture the truth of those people, whether or not it's popular.

Sometimes I think, I need to think before I speak. And then other times I think, I shouldn't leave the house or interact with people ever.

Every time I talk to a fancy journalist and they ask what I do in my free time my scumbag brain goes 'say masturbate, it'll be hilarious'.

It is mind-boggling to me that there are so few movies about female friendship, considering women make up half the movie-going population.

I would love to be doing more voice-over work. It's such a fun and free playground to take risks, play around, and get sort of ridiculous.

Some people will find any reason to hate. Don’t waste ur time. Lighten up! It takes so much less energy to smile than to hate. Enjoy life.

Nobody is more individual than you, so be confident with who you are and what you have to offer because everybody has got things to offer.

On the 'Revenge' set, even if they're not showing my feet, I'll still wear my heels because it gets me in the feeling of Ashley Davenport.

One thing that is constantly on my iPod is India Arie - I like her a lot; I listen to her a lot. I think she is just a spectacular artist.

When you're challenged, you're totally alive and totally dealing with reality, particularly if it could be dangerous. And that excites me!

But that's one of the nice things about doing a stage show, if something doesn't work out, you have the luxury of working on it over time.

I have this vintage Valentino clutch. Ughhh, it's so pretty! Also, I'm not a big fur person, but I'll do a vintage fur every now and then.

I think Latin American cultures are really rich and fascinating. I like the pomp and circumstance of some of their rituals and ceremonies.

Everyone the world over talks about British actors and British talent and I think that's because we were trained - until now - in theatre.

Nudity is who people are at the most interesting point of the evening, when they take off their protective layer, when no one is watching.

I think the interesting aspect of life is that you're always sort of in the middle. You're never the youngest and you're never the oldest.

I am mentally ill. I can say that. I am not ashamed of that. I survived that, I'm still surviving it, but bring it on. Better me than you.

I don't know about understood. I think that unless you are forced to understand - unless it is an issue of yours - you wouldn't bother to.

It's very good to get through them (drugs) while you're still young and then talk about how great or bad it was for the rest of your life.

The great thing about not being American is that you don't assume you know what a Southern accent sounds like, so you have to be specific.

It was in England that I discovered theatre. I didn't have any money, but I would just eat yoghurt in order to get some money for tickets.

Actors are accustomed to doing exactly what the director or writer requests us to do, and rarely get involved in that part of the process.

I do condition my hair with honey and beer. I smell like the bottom of a beer barrel for days afterwards, but it's very good for the hair.

I've never been a fan of labels. I think its very easy to kind of look at somebody and just kind of throw a label on them 'They're crazy.'

I'm a fan of Rihanna. I have all her albums. I love her music; she's a great performer. We've both gone on to great things. It's all love.

My parents never condescended to me. As a child, I always sat at the head of our dinner table. I was always given a lot of responsibility.

My body is the way it is - it's never going to be a body like Kim Kardashian or Angelina Jolie. We're all different, and we're all unique.

On 'Awake,' we would take a couple hours per scene. Whereas on 'Anger Management,' we can take maybe 10 minutes on a scene if we're lucky.

As far as pacing the shoot is concerned, I know when I've got it. I don't think there's any reason to take ten takes unless you need them.

I come from the New York theatre world, and I have a lot of gay male friends, so this friendship of Will and Grace's isn't such a stretch.

Granted there are only seven stories in the universe. And I agree with that. But give me a great variation of those stories. And literate.

The basis of all choice in manifestation is Loving Yourself. This is the start and the finish to all good things that you are looking for.

One of the most scariest thing in life,is when you come to the realization that the only thing that can save you,is...yourself Demi lovato

When you feel sexy or sensuous, you naturally want to open up and give, and I think that comes from being able to receive love and desire.

My real story is this: I am the citizen daughter of immigrant parents who were deported when I was 14. My older brother was also deported.

Every actor you learn from, take something from everyone - big actor or not. Whether they're big movie stars or not doesn't really matter.

I think happiness is what makes you pretty. Period. Happy people are beautiful. They become like a mirror and they reflect that happiness.

I know I want to work for my whole life because I know I can't live without music or dancing. But I don't know if I want to be a big star.

My parents divorced when I was born, and my mother is a political science professor, like a feminist Mormon, which is sort of an oxymoron.

I love playing roles that are physical, absolutely love. Whether it's just that kind of basic level of physicality or whether it's stunts.

I want to be a morning-talk-show host. I love Kelly Ripa's job. She gets to live in New York and has this amazing job hosting a talk show.

I don't know. I think there are fans out there who know that too and who wonder whether Ron would have really been able to make her happy.

You have to treat it like a fresh character. Sure, there are guidelines so that you don't upset people, but you have to find your own way.

What do you do when your world is falling apart? How do you hold onto the real and the rational? I think that's very relatable for people.

Lesbians, homosexuals, masochism, sadism are not perversions. Actually, there are only two perversions: hockey on grass and ballet on ice.

Hollywood typecast me as the secretary. I could have worked as the quirky secretary for the rest of my life, but I decided not to do that.

My goal in creating Geek & Sundry was to create a community based around web video, and we've accomplished that, especially on our budget.

I'm small. I'm petite. But I'm a bit of a fighter inside. In my work I fight for, I hope, showing women in a true way. They've got brains.

I still get so much fan mail addressed to Carol Brady, and I think a lot of it's through the Net. And I always answer it, if it's legible.

Anybody, anywhere in the world, all they want is to be free, to choose what they want to do without having someone tell them how to do it.
