There are epic downsides to living a somewhat public life. The upshot of that is there's nothing to hide. It's a relief in a way. There's nothing about me that can't be said.

Life is not for the faint of heart.

I have a theory that self-made, first-generation actresses don't feel entitled to success.

I definitely would rather take a nap than get angry.

In my experience of living, for a time, in the underbelly of society, I spent a lot of time in various holding cells.

It's a wild thing, that people have the ability to help each other by just relating to one another.

I have a deep compassion for the idea that it's okay to be myself. The idea that anything 'other' is bad and wrong and broken is so wildly off base.

Remember when we didn't live in the future? When we were young, it was not the future yet.

Beauty was never really my trip. Maybe those roles are attracted to me?

Life is a wildly transient thing with people coming into your life and dropping away. It definitely takes work to maintain relationships.

Existence itself is disconcerting and disorienting.

It's Brazil 2 Scotland 1, so Scotland are back where they were at the start of the match

It's better to just plough ahead. And if I say something they don't get, I just make fun of myself for assuming that everybody knows everything about where I live.

There are many Broadway songs that apply to moments on 'Mad Men,' and I sing them on set all the time.

When you adapt a book, you really have to cut it to the essence.

Pilates is definitely my favorite workout because it's hard but at the same time relaxing.

I've always gravitated towards songwriting that happens easily and spontaneously, because those have always been my best songs.

Art is the response of the living to life. It is therefore the record left behind by civilization.

Choosing whom you love is the most political decision you can make.

I've been thinking a lot about Anacortes and what it's like to be here, though I'm not trying to get people to move here - I would hate that.
