Every time I get a tattoo, my parents say they'll disown me. I have to get them airbrushed for Charmed. Witches don't have tattoos, I guess.

People will become what you think of them. See them for their beauty and they will rise up. See them for their darkness, and they will fall.

I don't think a man who is fifteen years younger than me should tell me he is proud of me unless he is my sober coach or my time-travel dad.

I think if you're able to do over the course of your career 20, 30, 50 very wonderful rich characters, you'd rather have that than an Oscar.

My mom, the fabulous Bertie Kinsey, is an amazing seamstress. She quilts and sews and is so crafty. We call her the Southern Martha Stewart!

Anytime I feel lost, I pull out a map and stare. I stare until I have reminded myself that life is a giant adventure, so much to do, to see.

If every choice you make comes from an honest place, you're solid, and nothing anybody can say about you can rock you or change your opinion

She would have thrived as a grandmother. I know how much she would have contributed to their lives, and I am sad they will miss out on that.

The romantic love of my life, I'm sure, was Burt Bacharach. I had a few that were wonderful, but I married him, and that's going pretty far.

We spend so much time bantering about the words when the real open conversations might very well be our actions. I worry about our rhetoric.

If I could play the ukulele like Zooey Deschanel, I would find my own personal M. Ward, and we would do a side album; but I don't, you know?

Michelle Pfeiffer in Tim Burton's 'Batman' was one of the most inspiring - I saw that and I was like, 'I want to be her, I want to do that.'

Human behavior is so intriguing. I find myself giving thumbs up signs all the time. I know I look like an absolute dork, but I do it anyway.

Luckily my parents were not against my ambition, they've always been very supportive. But they were adamant that I went to university first.

I just love to shop. If I could, I would shop every single day in every single store and spend all of my money which, you know, I do anyway.

Having every little aspect of your life in the public eye is really hard because it leaves more room for criticism, and I just want to live.

You do a movie and, even if it's not a comedy or it's not an action film, you get a little taste of it, and then I want to do it full force.

What would be awful would be to die and look back miserably - seeing only the bad things, the opportunities missed, or what could have been.

I'd marry again if I found a man who had fifteen million dollars, would sign over half to me, and guarantee that he'd be dead within a year.

When I first landed at Pixar, I felt like I found this creative oasis with John Lasseter... It's what you thought Hollywood was going to be.

I love luxury, I love the high life, and I have to foot the bills - I have received practically nothing from my marriages and relationships.

I've always liked being funny and making people laugh. I was a cut-up when I was a kid, and was always doing bits for my friends and family.

I have to make a dress out of recycled materials for my kid's preschool 'Project Runway'-like assignment. I'm currently fusing plastic bags.

I am born and raised in the Bronx. Where I grew up, it is a really working-class neighborhood and it does give you a really good work ethic.

I kind of had an idea that New York would be like Fashion Week, where everyone always looks incredibly chic and cool, and I wouldn't fit in.

I wish my mother had left me something about how she felt growing up. I wish my grandmother had done the same. I wanted my girls to know me.

I was once asked to do my Tarzan yell at Bergdorf Goodman, and a guard burst in with a gun! Now I only do it under controlled circumstances.

It's hard to date once you're a big Star Wars star because you don't want to give people the ability to say, "I had sex with Princess Leia."

People are still asking me if I knew Star Wars was going to be that big of a hit. Yes, we all knew. The only one who didn't know was George.

A lot of people bring it to me at conventions. At first I was going, "I can't sign that. That's not me." And now I just say, "Eh, whatever."

I think referendums are fantastic as long as the question is phrased in a way which is not meant to deliberately confuse or confound people.

I want to see a connected and progressive future for Australia, where we harness our greatest natural resources: sun, wind, and brain power.

I never want to work. Even when you're presented with these great opportunities, I think, 'I really love being in my pajamas with the kids.'

I prefer thrillers but when it's thriller/horror, I like it. The gore is not very important to me, I prefer suspense. But I like dark films.

We all understand situations where it's swim or drown. Sometimes we surprise ourselves when we start swimming and see how well we can do it.

I can only hope to be 10 percent of the mom mine was to me. She encouraged me to be confident and enjoy life. That's what I want for my son.

Gee whiz, I know that some movie stars don't like to be bothered, but I don't mind. I think it's part of the package, and it's not a bother.

Manipulating people is what's so fun about poker. I love that you can just look into someone's eyes and lie - and it's perfectly acceptable.

Courtney Cox got me this Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer. She wears it, too! If one of us finds a product we love, we buy it for the other.

I think people think Jim Carrey's just wild and crazy. He really is very disciplined. It is true of Eddie Murphy and Robin Williams as well.

The choices of roles I made had to do with educating and entertaining. And as a result I found myself working only every two or three years.

Actors want to surprise themselves. When it's really good, you kind of transcend yourself, and that happens infrequently. Very, very rarely.

After Peepshow, I really dont know what my next project will be. But I would like to keep on doing theater. I think I could do that forever.

The secret to scooping ice cream is all about the scooper. You have to dip it in water before and after every scoop. Then it just rolls off.

Everyone in New York is very self-involved. They're focused on themselves. Like, walking down the street, people are just in their own zone.

It's really cool when a guy tips 20 per cent quickly and effortlessly so that when the check comes, he opens it and signs his name and done.

I just want to be fully challenged as an artist, so that anyone who looks like me, who relates to me, says, 'Oh, if Danielle did it, I can.'

I'm not a model - I have curves. I find things that accentuate my body, a woman's body, and I always wear things that I feel comfortable in.

Now I look back and think if I'd spent more time enjoying myself instead of crying into my pillow over men, my 20s would have been fabulous!

I feel like there's this misconception that immigrants come here and just don't care about the system and paying taxes, and that's not true.
