I had to take driving lessons in New York, which were really weird because it's not the safest thing in the world.

My dream car would be a Maserati. That would be amazing.

I moved to New York when I was 10, from Rio de Janeiro. So there was no need for driving: I took the subway, cabs and the bus.

I'd love to be a Bond girl. I mean, if you're going to be stereotyped, there are worse things to be stereotyped as.

I think the play on words for 'Punky' Brewster has definitely played itself out.

I miss the anonymity that comes with New York because everyone around you is so immersed in their own journey.

I think escapism is really important.

When I was really young. My sister and I would create different characters with our Barbie dolls - I'd be the crazy diva Barbie and she'd be the homeless Barbie.

I will not go on a blind date.

Women always want to be what they're not: If you're the pretty girl, you want to be the quirky girl. If you're the smart girl, you want to be the pretty girl.

Also, when you think about a show that you used to watch as a kid or as a teenager, you look at it through sort of rose colored glasses when you remember it.

When I die, don't come, I wouldn't want a leafto turn away from the sun -- it loves it there.There's nothing so spiritual about being happybut you can't miss a day of it, because it doesn't last.

A tie is what you get after ice cubes have wrestled with hot water.

The walls that a hateful mind builds around it, make it impossible for happiness to find its way in.

Decision, Decision, Decision!Choices, Choices, Choice.!Decision and choices define life.

Being Happy is not a blessing to everyone!! it's an attitude!!

It was a beautiful spring night, the air rain-washed and smelling of crushed blossoms, and Henry felt as if the muscles of his body were singing in unison.

When working on a period, it is the finer details that evoke imagery that helps in cinematic adaptations.

Theater has to resonate in your heart in a way that movies don't.

Guy Pearce played Mike in 'Neighbors'. I would fake illness to stay off school and watch the one P.M. show, and I would also watch it again when it was repeated at 5:25 P.M. Obsessed.

You freeze with the number of opportunities given to you and just decide to do nothing at all.
