I don't consider myself a goody-goody, but I like to be perceived as classy.

I was born in Washington, D.C., and I was raised in Milwaukee.

I like people-watching and fading into crowds.

In some roles I have to wear fur, and I always make sure it's fake, like in Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me. Faux fur is great because it shows people that faux can look fabulous.

I literally felt like a freak, which is another aspect of the role of Sally that I relate to: total outsider.

My way was not to be the petite, gorgeous, little cheerleader. My way of getting by was making people laugh.

I am, uh ... a 6 foot tall woman, I feel like I'm a healthy size, I'm not anorexic; and I feel that people who aren't anorexic are punished ... for not being anorexic.

I was a full foot taller than any child my age.

It's a very lonely place, being an addict.

I was such a dork. I was too big. I was really gangly.

I was voted Biggest Ham and Likeliest to Become a Celebrity.

Man’s usurpation over nature is an egotism that will destroy human as well as whale kingdoms. … Academies should return to wisdom study in tree groves rather than robot study in plastic cells

Contentment is wanting what you have. Ambition is wanting what another has. Progress comes from wanting what nobody has.

We're terrible at realising what goes on in other people's heads because we are trapped inside our own.

Childhood comes at a time in your life when you are too young to understand what you are going through. And you're too young to understand that you are too young to understand.

I hate myself, and I want to die

If I knew that the world ends tomorrow, I, even today, plant a tree

Love has to be…flowering like the stars, and measureless as a kiss.
