Paris Hilton isn't my rival. I met her one or two times and she's making out there's this big rivalry between us and there so isn't.

I grew up in Manhattan, and I've always had all kinds of people around me. I've always had a very 'live and let live' point of view.

I've begun my career working with older heroes. The people I had been fan of, I now work with them. It's a great opportunity for me.

I'm not musically inclined. It blows my mind that people can write music. I don't have that talent; I look up to the people that do.

I can't keep secrets about myself. I can keep secrets about other people, but if it's about myself, I'm like, 'blah blah blah blah.'

I was reading this book called 'Close Encounters of the Fourth Kind.' It's really, really good if you want to believe in that stuff.

I'm very grateful to have my kids in my life; they're my greatest teachers. But to pretend it's always easy is just not really true.

When people have eating disorders, they can't actually see what they truly look like because they're so clouded with their emotions.

He who accepts the unaltered philosophy of another is as ludicrous as he who donshis neighbor's hat, and infinitely more ridiculous.

Acting can truly take a toll on your nerves. I mean we have to be larger than life. Worse, I've seen actors acting off the sets too.

I was also told some years ago that I shouldn't 'waste my time' with female-centric films because the audience was not ready for it.

I've shot all over the world with crews from all over the world. The work ethic is the same. Bollywood is my career; it's what I do.

I believe in myself and my art so much. I've always trusted destiny. Wherever it takes me, I just work damn hard at the opportunity.

When I'm traveling, I always look for a dance studio. It's a great workout and a wonderful way to meet new friends in the community.

I'm uncomfortable with the limelight. I'm not the type to go to the places where I know I'll be seen. I'd rather keep a low profile.

I try to be really, really specific, because each character is really an individual and you have to find out what makes them unique.

I'm just excited about life. Life is really good right now with my family and friends, and being able to work with people I respect.

All forms of contact are good: letters, parcels, e-mails - I've been trying to get a Webcam for my computer, but I'm such a Luddite.

I'm an appalling flyer. I get very tense, although I no longer weep uncontrollably for no reason - I just sob if there's turbulence.

I was a victim of what most people are a victim of, which is really, really just gulping down what was being fed to me by the media.

I did 'Spanglish' and went back home, and the next thing I did was my high school play. My agents at the time were like, 'Uh. What?'

Whether that's an action film or a comedy or a drama or anything in between, I'm willing to prove that I can play with the big boys.

I like to work. I don't like to have lulls. I feel like it makes me lazy and uncreative, and that's when your ideas become stagnant.

I never want to be a showoff or attention getter or something that, truthfully, is kind of repulsive to me, but I get uncomfortable.

The thing that my father was absolutely brilliant at doing was being Bruce Lee. Nobody was able to do what he did or be like he was.

I'd love to be a huge television director. I definitely want to do that. I could imagine me going more and more into that, as I age.

I don't even want to be on Twitter. I think it's abhorrent, people sending messages to say they're doing the washing-up or whatever.

There are things that you cannot talk to your mother and father about, there are things that you cannot talk to your children about.

When you're a performer, you have to please a large audience. And when you're in politics, you have to please a large audience, too.

What's normal? I think I'm normal... Maybe I'm abnormal because I get such a thrill from real life, just real life, everyday things.

I do my work to the best of my capacity. I don't pick a role looking at its length. I take up a film because I would like to see it.

As actors, we want to choose somebody who has conflicts. I can't be always playing the girl next door. What's the challenge in that?

I am trying to be a girl who is real and has an opinion. Might say stupid things but not scared of men, and for me that's important.

I tend to wear monochromatic outfits - all one colour from head to toe. I did that when I was younger and still do that to this day.

I keep both of my Tonys on my mantle. Theyre in front of a mirror so if you look at just the right angle, it looks like I have four!

Dark matter is interesting. Basically, the universe is heavier than it should be. Theres whole swathes of stuff we cant account for.

I've opened up my school in California in a beautiful facility on Ventura Boulevard. I'm always in heaven when I'm doing my classes.

Im a New Yorker. My background is in theater, so staying here, I have the opportunity to get back to that, which I would love to do.

I will have one of the cleanest obits of any actress. I never did cheesecake like Ann Sheridan or Betty Grable. I just used my hair.

All of us have mothers, sisters, daughters at home and it is our responsibility to protect them and make them aware of their rights.

For me, changing my physical appearance for a character is never a problem. If I have to look a certain way for a role, I just do it.

The more I have deep love and compassion for my earth and my fellows, the more love and compassion I have for myself, and vice versa.

I've never seen any ghost, but I definitely believe that there's some sort of something spiritual out there. I mean, there has to be.

I want people to say, 'She is really sweet and kind.' Anyone can work hard enough and be 'pretty.' Not many people are nice nowadays.

I've played a mother before, but it's always been a very young child, which is closer to what I can imagine my own life looking like.

My shadow in my art is one way I trace who I was and where I have been. My shadow and I have been on a journey for quite a while now!

When you're a child, no matter if you're doing show business or sports or school or anything, you just want to make the adults happy.

We shot many films in Delhi that turned out to be successful at the box office. So the attachment is definitely on the positive side.

This sounds crazy, but my goal is to be nominated for an Oscar. I was the kid who was practicing my acceptance speech when I was ten.

Now write this: 'The greatest rapture of my life was afforded me on a boat in Nassau by Fatima Blush,' and sign it 'James Bond, 007.'
