I learned how but I have a terrible paranoia and fear. I do not drive an automobile.

The only other thing that interested me as a kid was being a bricklayer. So if I hadn't become an actress, I would probably be a bricklayer.

I'm probably the most introverted extrovert you'll ever meet. Up until I got this show I was constantly told, 'She was really good, but she's just not cute enough.'

If I didn't have fake nails, my fingers would be bloody stumps.

When all of a sudden, people say, 'Wow, you look nice,' and carry on, it's shocking. Really awkward.

We've had some really good guest stars. But I have to go with Alec Baldwin as my favorite. He is so neat and such a movie star. He's handsome and quirky. I was in heaven the week he was on the set.

To be perfectly honest, drama is a lot simpler than comedy.

Acting is the only thing I ever really wanted to do, and I'm really ill-prepared to do anything else.

I still don't know quite what I'm supposed to do or be.

I'm pretty captivated by reality TV and I know that as an actor I probably shouldn't be saying that, but it's what I like to watch.

I cannot cook to save my life. I'm really frighteningly useless, when you get down to it.

I'm Chinese-American, of course, and so it's very interesting to see China actually launch their own astronauts, becoming the third nation, following the United States and Russia, to do so.

When I feel strongly about something, I'm not so quiet.

No war by any nation in any age has ever been declared by the people.

Delusions, errors and lies are like huge, gaudy vessels, the rafters of which are rotten and worm-eaten, and those who embark in them are fated to be shipwrecked.

I don't think anyone has the right to intrude in your life, but they do. I would like people to separate the actress and the woman.

Preaching is the pastor's main work, and preaching is heart work, not just mental work.

To dare: that is the whole secret of revolutions.

I cleared my throat - it isn't frogs you get in your throat; it's memories.

No government power can be abused long. Mankind will not bear it.

If you let yourself be truly seen, then you can be truly loved.
