The only other thing that interested me as a kid was being a bricklayer. So if I hadn't become an actress, I would probably be a bricklayer.

I'm probably the most introverted extrovert you'll ever meet. Up until I got this show I was constantly told, 'She was really good, but she's just not cute enough.'

If I didn't have fake nails, my fingers would be bloody stumps.

When all of a sudden, people say, 'Wow, you look nice,' and carry on, it's shocking. Really awkward.

We've had some really good guest stars. But I have to go with Alec Baldwin as my favorite. He is so neat and such a movie star. He's handsome and quirky. I was in heaven the week he was on the set.

I learned how but I have a terrible paranoia and fear. I do not drive an automobile.

To be perfectly honest, drama is a lot simpler than comedy.

Acting is the only thing I ever really wanted to do, and I'm really ill-prepared to do anything else.

I still don't know quite what I'm supposed to do or be.

I'm pretty captivated by reality TV and I know that as an actor I probably shouldn't be saying that, but it's what I like to watch.

I cannot cook to save my life. I'm really frighteningly useless, when you get down to it.

Education is the foundation of all human endeavors. It is the most noble of all the elements of human consciousness.

Don't make a whole to-do about it. Don't get down on yourself be- cause you're not an expert rower; don't start reading too many books in order to do it right.

Affirmitive action is extremely complex because it appears in many different forms.

Rock has always been the devil's music... I believe that rock & roll is dangerous... I feel that we're only heralding something even darker than ourselves.

I waited and worked, and watched the inferior exalted for nearly thirty years; and when recognition came at last, it was too late to alter events, or to make a difference in living.

I understand professionals have to work when they don't feel like it, and I certainly don't feel like it. So maybe this will put the nail in the coffin for my acting career.

Ive had many idols growing up. The inclination for idol worship comes naturally to me. Or it did, anyway. I think Ive gotten over it. It came as naturally to me as wanting to act.

The genius of architecture seems to have shed its maledictions over this land.

I wanna be selective... very selective. Right now, hip-hop's very boring to me. It's no excitement.

In chess, as in life, a man is his own most dangerous opponent.
