I think the hill one has to trudge in order to understand a man's baggage is more of a trek than I'd like to take right now.

I'm drawn to ordinary people who find themselves in extraordinary circumstances, which is a big part of the human condition.

I am naive when it comes to love, you know what I mean? I do believe in falling in love at first sight and things like that.

I can barely even run a computer. God knows what I'd get on online dating. I'd get something that was subhuman or something.

When I look at my longterm goals for the rest of my life, there are so many things other than performing that make me happy.

The first thing I ask when Im offered a part is, Whos the director? which is something they never understand in Los Angeles.

The second I met Zac, I thought he was a really cool guy. It's hard not to have chemistry with someone who is so attractive.

I had done the child acting thing, which is pretty much learning your lines, standing there looking natural, and having fun.

I did a little film called Nina, a small role. I played a French girl who was a nurse to Nina Simone. Zoe Saldana plays Nina.

The vampire movies I embraced as a kid used vampirism as a metaphor that expressed deep sadness and a lot of human qualities.

It's how I express myself - through storytelling and characters. They often reveal very intimate, vulnerable sides of myself.

Personally, I like films that make me a little bit uncomfortable because I think you're uncomfortable when something is real.

I love crosswords! Actually, when I was growing up, me and my girlfriends would collect them and see who finished them first!

Films were never on my agenda, may be it was written in my destiny. And since I am here, I would like to give it my best try.

If your body is excited to do something, that's what you should be doing. Or if it really scares you, you should be doing it.

I think one of the greatest things about the Republican Party is the understanding, we don't point fingers and we have class.

For me, I'm a dancer first. I could be the President of the United States, and I will always be a dancer, first and foremost.

I am someone who doesn't pay so much attention to how I am looking. I get so involved in what I am doing, so I overlook that.

Things will come to you when the time is right and I say just go for it. If you love what you want to do, just keep on going.

Maria Canals-Barrera is Cuban and from Miami and I'm part Cuban and from Miami, so needless to say she became a quick friend.

I don't believe that there's a good guy and a bad guy. Unless it's like Superman or Batman, there is no good guy and bad guy.

I think sometimes big budget means explosions! CGI! CGI, the possibilities are so limitless that it begins to be impractical.

I was raised in Connecticut. And I honestly wasn't aware that my dad was a celebrity until I moved to Los Angeles a year ago.

I knew always that Holland gave away the most Jews of all the countries. We are not the heroes that are in the history books.

If I ever married, I know I would dread the daily sound of the key in the door and the casual expectancy of 'Hello! I'm home!

Fred Astaire was retired when he worked in 'The Pleasure of His Company.' They were lucky to get him to play the father part.

A strange thing happens to me that I'm sure happens to a lot of actors when the camera starts rolling. I'm not 'me' any more.

I told my parents I wanted an agent, and they decided to let me have a go at it. Then I started working right away. I was 12.

I want to show people that if you walk, if you eat the right things, if you don't have stuff done to your face - that's okay.

I've had boyfriends complain, "Wait, you don't want to see me?" No, I don't. I just want to hang out by myself. So screw off.

Every night I bring home flowers and burn candles. And I have a real sense that home is what starts everything inside of you.

Saying 'no' is not hard for me; it's scarier for me to say 'yes.' I'm actually more afraid of commitment than of saying 'no.'

I am a very frank person and that's how I hope to remain. I don't like to pretend to be polite. What you see is what you get.

I have learned that to have a good friend is the purest of all God's gifts, for it is a love that has no exchange of payment.

When people are struggling, thats a painful place to be in, to not know who you are and where you belong and what you desire.

Once you become a mother, you always have a guilt trip. You always try to do the best, but you feel you can always be better.

When you have spent an important part of your life playing Let's Pretend, it's often easy to see symbolism where none exists.

But often times, I feel like I'm so blessed, it's not fair. That what I'm doing is not contributing to the good of the world.

The best thing I have is the knife from Fatal Attraction. I hung it in my kitchen. It's my way of saying, Don't mess with me.

I hope people enjoy what I do. That would make me happy because I'd be bringing others pleasure while doing something I like.

That's the kind of stuff you are offered today. Scripts that have you mixed up with young men. I find them utterly revolting.

I know some real intellectual people who might laugh, very close friends who might laugh when I'm said to be an intellectual.

We fell in love quickly. We got married very quickly. It didn't work out the way we wanted it to. There's nothing more to it.

I can't be the only person in the world to have three different husbands, and yet those relationships are never talked about.

In every character you play, as much as you hate to admit it as an actor, but there's an element of you that you bring to it.

You make mistakes as a parent. Then you wish you hadn't said that, or you wish you hadn't told them how to dress. You cringe.

When he's late for dinner, I know he's either having an affair or is lying dead in the street. I always hope it's the street.

When I was 20 years old and first with the Steppenwolf Theatre Company, we had an 88-seat theater in a basement and no money.

You can have a great script, and it can be a great show, but for whatever reason, it just doesn't take the public's interest.

To be honest, I've never been a huge fan of American soap operas. I grew up Spanish, so I grew up watching a lot of novellas.
