I've been looking to do TV for a while. I've always done guest starring stuff. I've done a couple of multi-episode arcs, and I've always loved the experience.

Any obsession is dangerous.

I certainly hope I'm not still answering child-star questions by the time I reach menopause.

I like the way my own feet smell. I love to smell my sneakers when I take them off.

We might all be so afraid to be who we are, but in the end, it's really you're individual, unique qualities that make you attractive to people.

Real tears are not those that fall from the eyes and cover the face, but those that fall from the heart and cover the soul.

Remember who you are. It's really okay to be who you are.

People feel like they have to live up to being perfect or have a perfect life or be perfectly happy, and it just makes them more unhappy.

I was a big sci-fi fantasy geek when I was younger... secretly, in my room.

I just want to be married, or just engaged. Basically, I just want a ring. And the tax break.

I don't know who Peter Lorre is. Pathetic, right? It shows you how completely gross and uncultured my generation is.

It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

It felt like fate. That if Gray Shadow and Caius could not find their way to each other, their bloodlines eventually did.

I think that we have to be constantly asking ourselves, 'How do we calculate the risk?' And sometimes we don't calculate it correctly; we either overstate it or understate it.

Everybody sounds stoned, because they're e-mailing people the whole time they're talking to you.

Use your light, but dim your brightness.

People are ashamed to admit they need a revival.

There's a danger in loving somebody too much, and it's sad when you know it's your heart you can't trust.

I always remember that whatever I have done in the past or may do in the future, Duke University is responsible in one way or another.

If I can steal away and read something other than what I have to for my work, it's restorative.

Alone we are smart. Together we are brilliant.
