I've always been really into action movies. Since I was little, that was my favorite type of film.

When you're doing fantasy, you can get so caught up in the magic of it that you lose the humanity.

How someone treats a waiter or doorman can tell you so much about a person.

I was home schooled starting in seventh grade.

When you're at dinner with somebody and they are on their phone. I think there's that lost art of conversation and so I just always try to keep my phone far away from me when I'm with people.

I love English girls! I adore all their different accents. Who knows, I could find a British girlfriend on my travels!

I went through a period when I was rebellious and a mess of a person.

When I was a kid and I would play pretend, I would end up with blood everywhere and I would cut my feet up. I love the feeling of it being real.

My grandpa was a cowboy. He roped cattle out in Texas and Arizona. Growing up, I'd see him maybe once a year and he'd always get me on a horse at some point. But each time I'd have to learn again.

There is hardly anything more confusing than a really strong-willed woman and when you are surrounded by two of them in the midst of trying to save the world, it really adds to some drama!

When you're just writing, you can do anything with it. But with TV, you've gotta work within certain budget constraints, so you've got to pick and choose your battles.

A woman's dress should be like a barbed-wire fence: serving its purpose without obstructing the view.

I threw back my head, my hair falling about me like a great red curtain, and cried out.  My eyes felt hot and burned with tears as my body trembled with the passion for blood.

As long as you're feeling good with your weight and the way you look, that's what matters.

I definitely would not need to insure my calves.

Good oil, like good wine, is a gift from the gods. The grape and the olive are among the priceless benefactions of the soil, and were destined, each in its way, to promote the welfare of man.

The most beautiful stories always start with wreckage.

Although we are never glad when tragedy visits, we can be aware and seize the opportunity to do good in this world, even in the midst of tragedy.

I think it's quite difficult to understand what kind of life a writer leads. They might be millionaires, or they might be starving people.

[Truman Capote] was not only just selling his writing, but he was selling himself as a person.

Sometimes the humanrace is given absolutely marvellous gifts, and we take those gifts and squanderthem just because we are human beings. This is all about that.
