My advice is to make acting your second career choice

I've been kind of submerged in my own little geographic location for a really long time in Venice Beach

I remember when I first started in the business, I lost a lot of friends. Some were jealous, some were annoyed at the fact that I was an actress.

Right afterward I read Fast Food Nation. That book changed my life: It made me a vegetarian.

If it comes back, I think that Friday night is not a good night to be on.

If you believe that God put you here to act, then you have to be different. Go into casting offices, with something other girls don't have

IF YOU'RE DOING SOMETHING THAT TERRIFIES YOU, MOST LIKELY YOU'RE DOING THE RIGHT THING.

Honestly, I am not trying to discourage anyone from becoming an actress, but if you want to become one be prepared to face everything that comes - along with it

My own personal connection with God was not in a religious sense, so I wasn't really thinking in that way when I got the role and when I started doing it.

Perhaps the most troubling area in the world goes from the Balkans through the Middle East and in Central Asia.

When I do get free time, I spend a lot of it at home with my family and my close friends and I think that's what keeps me happy, healthy, grounded, and totally in check.

I'm not a ice cream, i'm a human being

Give ordinary people the right tools, and they will design and build the most extraordinary things.

Holy Mother Church teaches us to end the year and also our days with an examination of conscience...to be grateful and to ask for forgiveness.

The living can assist the imagination of the dead.
