I ask myself: Would I have been any worse off if I had stayed home or lived on a farm instead of shock treatments and medication?

I think if I was in over 250 films, the world would get pretty sick of me. I would probably never get put in anything ever again.

People always say a script will be 'brought to life in a magical way,' but for me that has been proven wrong time and time again.

The second you go back to eating right, you're going to put that weight on. You eat one piece of bread and you are screwed, lady!

Acting, to me, is about the incredible adventure of examining the landscape of human heart and soul. That's basically what we do.

People keep pushing me to be the center of attention... I would prefer to be on the sidelines, because that's where you see more.

I definitely grew up to Nina Simone and a lot of Ella Fitzgerald. And I loved Amy Winehouse. I loved that sort of soulful singer.

I do a lot of yoga, and when I'm in L.A., I have an outdoorsy sort of lifestyle. It's sort of comfortable, West Coast, yoga chic.

I don't know how one actually would define obscenity. I'm sure the definition is different according to the age one is living in.

I feel most comfortable in an old pair of jeans, Converse, and a man's jersey. My best friend cuts my hair with kitchen scissors.

I went to England for five months when I was in high school, by myself, so I did experience a bit of being the fish out of water.

Politics? Ha! You couldn't get into politics. You couldn't get in anywhere. You couldn't even get in the men's room at the Astor!

I beseech you to open your hearts and give back! Give your time/services/money/support/encouragement/love! Give whatever you can!

Instagram is just a highlight reel... Ten percent of the time, Chan and I have a lot of fun. Ninety percent, we're really boring.

It's really, really, really difficult to have the same occupation as the person you're with - especially when you're both actors.

Being the first female Doctor and showing children that their heroes in shows don't always look the same is a huge honour for me.

My mother was terribly important to me, and I know how much I yearned for her in my youth, but I don't think I truly trusted her.

I know what it's like to be a model and go to castings where some people like what they see and others look at you with distaste.

If a woman can plan when to have her family and how to support a family, huge issue for our economy and our country's well being.

Some people do need to grow up, but I don't think I'm there yet. I don't think I'm ready to do grown-up things and be a grown-up.

I take my role of being an aunt seriously and have attended every important event/milestone in all my nieces' and nephews' lives.

I, like many people, have had bumps in the road when it comes to family. Family dynamics are complicated and weigh heavily on me.

The biggest misconception people have about me is that I'm in control of every situation. I'm rarely in control of any situation.

Losing a parent over eight years is a very dark journey. I spent the first four years feeling bad and angry and sorry for myself.

I love watching old movies anyway - I grew up with my mom watching old movies and being immersed in the history of old Hollywood.

There is a Twitter account apparently dedicated to my brows. I do not Tweet on it, but... they talk about who they've seen today.

I believe in the producers at Constantin, and I know that they have a really good taste level when it comes to the creative side.

When my mother signed at MGM, that was the only kind of contract you could sign. There was no such thing as an independent agent.

The muscles you flex in theater are muscles that you really need. I must always find a way to get back there. It's irreplaceable.

I try to give my best to everything I do. I don't think of housework as beneath my dignity; that's just the way I was brought up.

I'm extremely unhappy with the projection of 'Tum' as a hot film. It's demeaning not just to me but to the producer and director.

If you've worked in Australia, you can't get away with bad behaviour like showing up late. We take our work ethic very seriously.

We have such a finite amount of hours on this planet, and there is just no excuse for living a mundane, predictable life in life.

Essentially, what I do on 'Supergirl' is I'm acting out comic vignettes. That is its own muscle to flex, and it is its own skill.

For me, beauty comes from natural happiness. I think that a woman glows, and a man, even, when they're healthy and they're happy.

The beauty about being a producer is you sit there, and you explore ideas which become a passion, which slowly becomes a reality.

It could be a stupid thing to say, but people should realize that it is easy to get concerned about yourself and to lose contact.

Love is no conditions. Love is given, despite hurt or rejection. Love is life and breath and touch. Love is helping someone live.

I want people to think about the connection between mothers and daughters. I like the idea of continuity of life and generations.

My gaze is very different from that of Ekta Kapoor's, and that is quite visible in those two films - 'Ragini MMS 2' and 'Jism 2.'

I'm a firm believer that actors take to work who they aren't at home. People show their other self in their art or in their work.

As a woman, you feel that you shouldn't want to better yourself against others. Ambition has become such an ugly word, hasn't it?

I think that a lot of women that know they're going to be part of history somehow decide to have a character to be remembered by.

The truth is, I just don't have the drive to be the prettiest and the thinnest. I can be happy for other people for their beauty.

I did an episode of 'Law & Order,' where I literally didn't move my neck because I thought you couldn't move your head on camera.

What one person sees as degrading and disgusting and bad for women might make some women feel empowered and beautiful and strong.

A shiny ring isn't romantic to me. I think thought and love into what you do for the person you're in love with - that's romance.

I don't think any human being/artist is 100% emotionally stable, based on the human condition and our emotions that relate to it.

It's not the networks, it's the advertisers who want to appeal to the young males who go to the movies and buy all of this stuff.

If we can genuinely honor our mother and father we are not only at peace with ourselves but we can then give birth to our future.
