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

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 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.

If you're walking down the street in L.A., people do sort of look at you like you're a hooker because it's so rare to see someone just walking.

Have you ever asked yourself this question "what can God do through me?" The preacher has no platform if the people has no sense of mission.

The home is the chief school of human virtues.

Everything is changeable, everything appears and disappears; there is no blissful peace until one passes beyond the agony of life and death.

There are always a few such people who demand the utmost of life and yet cannot come to terms with its stupidity and crudeness.

In Poland, my audience is all women between 18 and 30. At U.S. conventions, you have the fantasy and science fiction crowd. At Harvard you have an entirely different audience. It's so schizophrenic.

Nobody's strong enough to be a parent. We just do it, blindly, going forward on faith and love and hope. That's all it is...Being afraid...and going on.

Ok you want me up in a cage, then I'll come out in beast mode.

Marco Rubio, I think, will be president some day. Whether 2016 is his time, time will tell. He embraced immigration reform. He seems to have backed off. I'll let him explain why.

Twitter is my bar. I sit at the counter and listen to the conversations, starting others, feeling the atmosphere.

Baghdad is determined to force the Mongols of our age to commit suicide at its gates.
