Even just pestering people with questions, and being nosey and pushy and getting her way, are things I think many young women grow up struggling with, to assert themselves.

It is said that our destiny is set, predetermined before conception. But I myself, have never been a believer.

Things that are unknown attract us.

I don't see myself going back to blonde outside of work though. I really like the red.

All of the secrets the vampires held dear have been exposed, and the humans can now fight back as equals in a way, which is scary.

I was shy and a hard worker, so acting was a way to focus whatever nervous energy I was experiencing onto a goal.

I think we need that to ground us as human beings. I would imagine after an extended amount of time, a vampire might stall a little bit.

I think heroism comes in different packages. The superhero package is one that we're familiar with.

Acting is somewhat mysteriously taught. There are so many different methods and systems and processes for teaching acting because it will always be an elusive art-form.

I think it's fascinating that there's a whole holiday dedicated to things that we fear and that's so interesting about the nature of humanity.

Magic isn't done

There's no magic more powerful than the human spirit.

No one is content with his own lot.

If any ambitious man have a fancy to revolutionize, at one effort, the universal world of human thought, human opinion, and human sentiment.

Jealousy is the very reverse of understanding, of sympathy, and of generous feeling. Never has jealousy added to character, never does it make the individual big and fine.

If our love for each other really is participatory, then all other human relationships nourish it; it is inclusive, never exclusive.

After all dying is one of the most profound and difficult experiences we have.

I think it is to the advantage of my state to have the opportunity to come to meetings occasionally and to vote in person, rather than just by proxy.

I don't listen to anyone else. That's why I don't have a publicist or something like that. I can't stand it if someone's trying to tell me to do something which might be a mistake sometimes.
