I've always played characters that were younger than myself.

I want to be in 'Glee,' but I'm told I'm not famous enough to be a cameo yet.

I never get recognised here in London, which I like. Once a year, someone comes up to me and asks if I am 'so-and-so's niece' because they think they recognise me from somewhere. I like that.

It's tricky playing people that you don't like and finding a way to empathise with them. It's challenging and very exciting for an actor.

I wanted to be a musical theatre actress - I wanted to play Sally Bowles, forever and ever always.

I don't think you should ever damage other people for your art.

I'm not great at having my picture taken and I don't enjoy that side of it very much but I enjoy being with my friends and it's nice to have a reunion.

Am I reserved? I think I agree with that. I don't think I'm particularly original. I am quite homey, though. But then I'm also quite transient. I quite like being nomadic.

The minute I get into a hotel room, I scatter my stuff everywhere. It's like a bomb site within a minute. So I suppose that means I'm trying to nest.

It's always harder to maintain raw enthusiasm or joy than to go into a really dark place.

I have always hated nightclubs, and don't like loud music.

It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose. That is not a weakness

Under the thinning fog the surf curled and creamed, almost without sound, like a thought trying to form inself on the edge of consciousness.

Caterpillar dun' become butterfly-caterpillar die so butterfly can be. A new thing. We all must let ourselves die to be what we will be. But we cling to what we know.

I walked into my own book, seeking peace. It was night, and I made a careless movement inside the dream; I turned too brusquely the corner and I bruised myself against my madness.

Even the worst comic is at least somewhat entertaining, if only in a pathological way, for five minutes.

Hard work never hurt anyone who hired someone else to do it.

The greatness of the world in which we live is the accumulated goodness of many small and seemingly inconsequential acts.

I rejoice in the success of others, knowing that there is plenty for us all.

It was not my desire to go off and serve in Vietnam.

I defy anybody to not look cool with the guns. My granny could look cool doing that!
