To be unrecognizable in movies is the biggest compliment that anybody can give you.

Rugrats was my favorite cartoon growing up as a kid.

I'm weirdly flexible, so when I dance, I dance like a 17-year-old girl.

I love dancing, actually. My mother taught children's dance, ballet, tap, jazz...I'm very flexible.

I kind of strive for being able to go home and having a totally separate life.

I would like to think there is a reason and a choice behind everything.

You've got to stop going back and forth. You've got to make up your mind.

I think the movies that don't try to please people are movies that you respect more in the end.

I don't know how to describe my sense of humor.

The moment that you start to read a script, you're watching the movie in your mind, and that's the one moment that you have. Then, you go off to make the movie and you become so lost in it.

I grew up in dance studios. I was forced to be in several numbers in recitals and dance competitions. I took one tap class - literally one class - and then I quit.

Art is difficult transient is her reward.

Actors are inherently self-centered.

To make your life a work of art, you must have the material to work with. The race, any race, is just such an experience.

[...]if you talk any more flummery to me, Frederica, I shall give you one of my—er—icy set-downs!”(Alverstoke)

God sifted a whole nation that he might send choice grain over into this wilderness.

In New York, one must collapse to be indolent.

I know at times I come across like a Neanderthal or a babbling idiot, but I like that person.

Learn to love the questions themselves.

It's great to sit and talk about the films and the people I work with, rather than where I buy my socks or whatever.

Have caviar if you like, but it tastes like herring to me.
