I'm the character actor in Hollywood movies, the girl who has to be annoying so the guy can go to the other girl.

Black eyeliner says 'You've been through stuff, you know things'.

I watch soap operas. I bake brownies. Normalcy is coursing through my veins.

I would like a nice, powerful, mind-altering substance. Preferably one that will make my unborn children grow gills.

I like soap opera acting. If it's done really well, there's nothing better. It's old school. It's like what those melodramas in the '30s and '40s were like

But it's fun to be something, have that, and you don't have to be real. It's like, comedians. They go on and they're doing all these jokes. I would be like that if I were more awake

An actor's career relies on a lot of luck. Being in the right place at the right time.

In the '90s, indie movies could get financing, because financers gave money straight to directors... Now it's a different system. Indie movies got co-opted by the studio system.

I haven't seen a bear in person. I've seen deer. I have lots of woodchucks on my property. And bluebirds. Foxes.

My dad recently reminded me that my grandfather's cousin was Lefty Frizzell.

You're talking to someone, to a reader, and you get to express in the way you want to. And you get to play with it. It's kind of like acting, but it's on paper.

The courage to ask question is a daring act.

A worst thing is thinking about health who show interest in non-vegetarian

The foolish wish to speak out what was spoken in secret by the master.

In the real world there is no nature vs. nurture argument, only an infinitely complex and moment-by-moment interaction between genetic and environmental effects

I was a small kid from Huntington, Long Island. I never imagined that anything like that would happen to me.

Still, whether we like it or not, the task of speeding up the decrease of the human population becomes increasingly urgent.

Art is based on emotion, but being macho is based on ego; the wall protecting that emotion.

Pain will force even the truthful to speak falsely.

And yet I think of Christopher Reeve who said he would pay two million dollars to be able to feel pain again. What a courageous man! So I have to think that pain is a blessing.

It betrays hubris on the part of the artist to think his medium is limiting him, and I think we all recognize this
