I was always an actress, even as a little kid, and fantasy, horror, sci-fi stories are really all about playing make believe. I just never grew out of that.

I have good genes. My father is Danish and my mother is Irish and Native American. They both have good skin.

It's a roll of the dice when you're a first time director so I prefer to work with people that know more than I do, but that happens less and less as you get older.

Do something good for yourself today. You matter.

I always tell actors, "Don't think of it as unemployment when you don't have a job. You have to think of it as being in preparation for your next job." You have to be always preparing for success.

Men, we don't need you in shining armor. We just need you a little bit brave, just a little bit brave.

The actor side of me loves to get dressed up and I feel like Cinderella when I'm in diamonds.

It would be good if you opened your heart to the fullness of time and spirit.

I really didn't like Batgirl. I was like, "No, if I'm not gonna be Batman, I'm not gonna play." Maybe they could write an evil female super villain who takes over Batman, and nobody knows.

Sadly, I really want to be Batman ... and I just never will be.

Everything that I play as an actress is a different aspect of me.

Darkness does not age

These words are not just destined to be shared with the mind - but, the Soul.

Nevermind nomenclatures, boy! What a serendipitous situation this is!

What's the word for a perfectly reasonable fear of annoying idiots?

Power is making a statement about who you are.

Though they seem at opposite poles, fanatics of all kinds are actually crowded together at one end. It is the fanatic and the moderate who are poles apart and never meet.

Enlightened people live in very charged states of attention, with a tremendous power circuiting through them.

One arrives at style only with atrocious effort, with fanatical and devoted stubbornness.

I often talked to Bing Crosby, and while I liked him, I never understood why he was so popular. To me his voice was just a gimmick.

The worst thing to do with success, is to boast about it.
