I always set out to just work, as an actor, and try to do as many different things as I possibly could, and not be too selective or too careful. I think just working is fun.

I know sour, which allows me to appreciate the sweet.

I wasn't a kid who moved out from Iowa with aspirations of becoming a famous star - I was intrigued by the idea of filmmaking and by the idea of what it would be like to play a character in a movie.

When you reach a certain status in Hollywood, you have to play a lot of games to stay in the limelight. It becomes more about being famous than being an actor.

Celebrities say they date other celebrities because they have the same job. But I think they just like dating famous people. Celebrities attract each other, like cattle.

I can do movies maybe that have already been written, but I can't do anything for months at a time.

Pilots get made, and they don't go to series. Stuff gets written and never gets made. I've tried to develop stuff that never went. It comes and it goes. It's a part of the process.

I think kids like chaos, in an interesting way. I think kids like to push buttons in adults. They like to antagonize and cause trouble. I think it's the kid-like spirit that kids respond to.

It's difficult to get away from the shadow of a TV character.

I was a little nerdy, but I got along with everybody. I had fun at school - skateboarding, surfing, getting kicked out of class for making too much noise.

I was born in Orange, California and I grew up in Huntington Beach. I started skateboarding when I was five and continued to do so off and on over the years.

We are not just the leaders of tomorrow. Leadership is not a destination, leadership is a lifetime journey

I will continue to freak out my children by knitting in public. It's good for them.

Be fearlessly authentic.

Beauty doesn't matter because in the end, we all lose our looks and all we have is our heart.

At least we know we tend to be afraid. If you object to my plural noun, I'll retract it.

Youth should watch joys and shoot them as they fly.

I think, as a woman, you do sort of have to work twice as hard, but I don't feel as if I wasn't given opportunities.

I'm at the point in my life when I'm ready to have a baby. Something real in a crazy world.

Women have the right to mount the scaffold; they should likewise have the right to mount the rostrum.

A man in all the world's new fashion planted, That hath a mint of phrases in his brain.
