I used to joke that if acting didn't work out, poetry was my commonsense fallback.

Theater has always been terrifying to me.

I usually spend my free time worrying about when I'm going to work next.

I wish feminism wasn't so scary to people. It should be an evolving concept. I think it's an umbrella term to embrace conflicting ideas.

I think when you're on a show that takes place in N.Y.C. but film it in L.A. there is just a vibe that feels wrong.

Broadway is like a club I haven't been invited to, and I'm hoping that maybe they will give me a guest pass one of these days.

I wrote a lot when I was younger, though never anything like plays or scripts.

Unfortunately, I don't think I can call myself an activist because I don't really do enough of anything.

At night I wake up with my sheets soaking wet and a freight train running through the middle of my head.

You are not going to see me puffing around the pitch. There is a saying in Bulgaria that great quality doesn’t require much effort.

A Black man voting for the Republicans makes about as much sense as a chicken voting for Col. Sanders.

I trust no rich man who is officiously kind to a poor man.

With the case of running, it really is a case of get out, set yourself a distance, run it, and then do it again the next day. It's tremendously simple.

That’s Edward. He’s gorgeous, of course, but don’t waste your time. He doesn’t date. Apparently none of the girls here are good-looking enough for him.

Look. You all do things that are beautiful and magical and... and important. But me... there's gotta be more to my life than just pots and kettles. All I'm asking you is that you give me a chance.

The thirst to know and understand a large and liberal discontent.
