I don't ever want to be bored, doing the same thing from 9 to 5. I've always loved pretending and being someone different.

I love writing. I love to write, and I would eventually love to have some of my work produced.

I hate taking myself seriously. It drives me crazy!

There are always ups and downs, no matter how successful you are.

I tried softball and soccer. I just didn't take as much of a liking to it as I did sitting in a movie theater and watching people recreate a story, and doing it myself, as well.

I like the idea of having a little bit of a mystery about me.

Theater is the only thing I always came back to. When I was 9, I asked my mom if I could be on TV. She was like, "Well, okay. You can try."

I always want the audience to identify with my character in some way. I mean, sometimes you'll get characters that aren't very identifiable. Sometimes you can't relate to your character at all.

I think it's important to keep the audience interested. But the best advice that I've gotten is to live in the moment. Sometimes you can get too into your head when you're in a scene.

I don't think I'd ever want to direct. I don't think I have as much discipline to direct as I would like to have, and I don't want my hair color to not go grey during that process.

I don't ever want an acting to be a job. I want this to be an outlet for my creativity, and something I just simply enjoy doing. I don't ever want it to become something too serious.

Slaves in the past were captured by force

Accident counts for much in companionship as in marriage.

But I'm kind of comfortable with getting older because it's better than the other option, which is being dead. So I'll take getting older.

If you don't leap, you'll never know what it's like to fly.

More than 3,500 hardcover novels are published each year. Even the most avid reader buys fewer than one a week.

Make stuff up. Anyone who ever did something new or interesting was making it up as they went along.

Some get stoned, some get strange, but sooner or later it all gets real.

If it can't be expressed in figures, it is not science; it is opinion. It has long been known that one horse can run faster than another - but which one? Differences are crucial.

I'm just a survivor from the train wreck of the modern world.
