I like playing characters with as many emotions as possible. I'd love to play a really crazy person - someone truly out of her mind.

When I go home, I play with my baby dolls and strollers and stuffed animals, pretend like they're real dogs.

I love the '70s, I'm very into that right now. The long Chloe dresses, very Virgin Suicides.

If people say "no" to you and it's something you really want to do, keep going and you'll succeed.

I'm pretty good with not being afraid to just go up to people and introduce myself.

If I asked you, "Do you think you're beautiful?" everyone should say yes.

I would like to continue acting. But also - if this is a dream world where everything could become true - I'd want to be a ballerina.

It's fun because you can escape and learn about what other people's minds have created. It inspires you to think maybe you could come up with a creature yourself. I like that.

Everyone should love themselves, should think that they're beautiful.

We're constantly taking pictures of ourselves. It's a bit scary, because images are essentially dead, so we judge beauty on something that isn't alive.

I feel like with every character, you try to put yourself in that person's position and just completely use your imagination. That's what I do, at least. Everything is just pretend.

What? Quinn's one of them? I just thought he was an a*shole!

Writing takes a lot of patience. It usually takes me a year to write a book. One time, it took me 14 years to write a book, not that I worked on it every day.

I was a violent, bipolar, compulsive liar. I was a real American.

A little rudeness and disrespect can elevate a meaningless interaction to a battle of wills and add drama to an otherwise dull day.

This is our chance to build a Britain where everyone benefits from the success of the economy.

TV's hard work. I don't know how the hell Angela Lansbury survived doing 'Murder, She Wrote' all those years.

A talkative person runs himself upon great inconvenience by blabbing out his own and others' secrets.

I think I've spent so much time playing characters that are so far away from me and learning how to technically build and how to technically put something on top of you.

I don't feel like me unless I have my hair shaved. So even when I'm an old lady, I'm going to have it.

I got my tattoo a year before the Olympic trials, so I kind of used it as motivation to make the Olympic team the following year. I look at it every time I dive and it's kind of a little fun thing.
