I've been a weirdo since I was a kid.

I personally have a background of many days on end of confusion, understimulation, overstimulation, and uncomfortableness with the world around me.

I have to paint at least two times a week, and there's not enough time in the day to do everything.

There is always the personal, simple happiness that doesn't happen.

It always surprised me that I was getting acting work.

I went to art school for fine art and then I started doing performance art, and then I started making fun of performance art, and it turned into comedy.

See what a good actress I am? I'm just typing over and over, "You're a good person, Mary Lynn! Hang in there! You can do it!"

I'm not married and I don't think that's going to work out for me. I'm not even bitter, I'm just exhausted.

I need to see where I am physically and practicing with NHL players is the best way to find that out.

I like America. I think it's pretty cool.

We want our wounds to speak for themselves, but usually we end up having to speak for them.

Being thrown out of this place is significantly better than being thrown out of a leper colony.

Life is mostly just learning how to lose.

We tried to provide more for the poor and produced more poor instead. We tried to remove the barriers to escape poverty, and inadvertently built a trap.

We inhabit a language rather than a country.

Being a good actor isn't easy. Being a man is even harder. I want to be both before I'm done.

I was raised in a mostly white neighborhood. I was this little white girl jamming out to Ella Fitzgerald and Bobby Brown.

As I've grown older, I've grown more convinced there's nothing that shouldn't be talked about. If we think we're protecting each other, we're not.

I asked you, baby, If you understood- You told me that you didn't, But you thought you would.

Set the troops to their tasks without imparting your designs.
