It's like running away to join the circus, everyone wants to do it when they're young but then you grow up and get a proper job. But somebody's got to do it or you wouldn't have the circus.

I want to have a little toy version of Morgana. I can then show it to my grandchildren one day. So I can say I used to have a waist.

One thing I've always thought about Morgana is that she's sort of a modern mind in a period body. She's not your usual warm princess, which is what drew me to her in the first place.

I go for really smart guys, ones who are well-read and can banter and argue. Men need to be able to take me out and have a few drinks, but by the end of the night we'll be talking about Nietzsche.

I do keep getting these bad girl roles. The funny thing is that, honestly, I don't think I'm believable as these aristocratic mean girls. But I do love playing them.

Maybe people don't see me as believable playing a person of today. I guess I'm just more realistic in a corset and funny hairstyles.

The heart may not always be practical, but it is always right.

With teamwork we are able to multiply our output and minimize individual input.

I didn't want to fall back. But I realized it was more important to make it to the end under my own power than to run flat out in the lead or in second and then run out of fuel with a lap to go.

It is not always from valor or from chastity that men are brave, and women chaste.

There are more men threatned then stricken. [There are more men threatened than stricken.]

If you think of standardization as the best that you know today, but which is to be improved tomorrow; you get somewhere.

Hired mourners at a funeral say and do - A little more than they whose grief is true

Don't bring negative to my door.

I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies.

Bluegrass is really a big part of my background.
