My awards are lovely. I love to show them of.

If someone is mean, harmful, or evil, they're out of my life. I cross them out.

I don't give in, I don't give up, I don't take no for an answer.

It's okay to look back, just don't stare.

When I was in kindergarten, I had one line in a little play. I said, I am Patrick Potato and this is my cousin, Mrs. Tomato, and I heard laughter. I wanted to be an actress from that moment on.

The minute you're born, you're getting older.

To do a Bond picture is a blessing but also a curse.

Paper buys time. Steel buys freedom.

I can't be a Christian on my own. I need a community. I need the church.

You do an awful lot of bad writing in order to do any good writing. Incredibly bad. I think it would be very interesting to make a collection of some of the worst writing by good writers.
