I do try and stay away from the stereotype and getting typecast.

Theres nothing more romantic than Italian food.

I don't ever want to be doing the same sort of thing, I never want to be typecast, because I have way too much to give to be sort of, to always be the hot chick in the movie.

I've always wanted to shave my head for a role because I've wanted to play a character who had a shaved head. I don't know what the fascination is.

I'm used to being someone else 10 months out of the year.

The celebrity body I most admire is Madonna's. She has the most incredible physique - and the woman's in her 50s!

I do believe that when you know better, you do better. You know what was wrong about the last relationship, and hopefully you will do better the next time.

To sit through a film where you're just unmotivated to be interested in a character is probably the worst thing that could ever happen.

That's when you know a horror film delivers - when you're walking out of the theater going 'Oh my God!' You can't get the images out of your mind.

After all, no relationship could function or survive under the burden of total honesty.

We've put more effort into helping folks reach old age than into helping them enjoy it.

If you came into the theater believing in the talking snake, it's kind of hard to leave the theater still believing in the talking snake.

there is this malign curse laid on dipsomaniacs. That they must absolutely have a drink: in order to feel strong enough to stop drinking.

We are within measurable, or imaginable, distance of a real Armageddon. Happily there seems to be no reason why we should be anything more than spectators.

The world is nothing but a great desire to live and a great dissatisfaction with living.

Kingsley did the same, except he also removed his T-shirt, showing off his broad chest, tan and smooth. When had Kingsley had time to work on his tan? Mimi wondered.

Blame is a bitter and indigestible thing, even when the blame is a coat you cut for yourself, even when you stood right there and got yourself measured so you could wear it right.

Human beings, as far as I can tell, seem to be divided into two subspecies -- the resigned, who live in quiet desperation, and the exhausted, who exist in restless agitation.

Everything that I talk about, pretty much, are things that I learned or understood over the years.
