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 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!

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.

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 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.

The urge is always with me to retouch yesterday's canvas with today's paintbrush and cover the things that fill me with regret..

I am the Merlin, bane of the Vale, terror of the four lands. I am chaos and shadows, the last of my people.

...you needs uh man.” Janie laughed at all these well-wishers because she knew that they knew plenty of women alone

If there was one good thing that came out of all this, it was that I got to meet you. I would go through it all again - I would, as long as it meant I'd met you.

I think that some of our soldiers die in the battlefield and some come home to bad health and die prematurely, just by the nature of the kind of business they're in.

I will never master this craft. Orchestras are very, very forthcoming with me.

I never thought I'd be investigating global warming. I believe it's real and that saving the planet is good.

There are no good or bad habits. All habits are, by definition, bad.

The family is a court of justice which never shuts down for night or day.

My mama couldn't give me what I wanted. I had all right clothes, but the people I was with had better clothes. I felt that I had to have better clothes.
