When I go home, I play with my baby dolls and strollers and stuffed animals, pretend like they're real dogs.

I like playing characters with as many emotions as possible. I'd love to play a really crazy person - someone truly out of her mind.

I love the '70s, I'm very into that right now. The long Chloe dresses, very Virgin Suicides.

If people say "no" to you and it's something you really want to do, keep going and you'll succeed.

I'm pretty good with not being afraid to just go up to people and introduce myself.

If I asked you, "Do you think you're beautiful?" everyone should say yes.

I would like to continue acting. But also - if this is a dream world where everything could become true - I'd want to be a ballerina.

It's fun because you can escape and learn about what other people's minds have created. It inspires you to think maybe you could come up with a creature yourself. I like that.

Everyone should love themselves, should think that they're beautiful.

We're constantly taking pictures of ourselves. It's a bit scary, because images are essentially dead, so we judge beauty on something that isn't alive.

I feel like with every character, you try to put yourself in that person's position and just completely use your imagination. That's what I do, at least. Everything is just pretend.

Just being alive feels so arduous that all I want to do is climb under the covers and sleep.

Spring time is a refreshing time.

That the saints were usually in ill luck does not canonize you.

I wanted to see how fast you can go before it becomes nonsensical, a mess.

I'm not sought after. I never get enough work. It's the history of my career. There just isn't anything to turn down, let me put it that way.

Any mother with half a skull knows that when Daddy's little boy becomes Mommy's little boy, the kid is so wet he's treading water.

You may have orthodox heads, and yet you may have the devil in your hearts.

The best way to break down that fear is to spend time with somebody, put yourself in somebody else's shoes, understand what the other person is going through.

It's almost an addiction that some people have to what I call the perfection that Hollywood presents of successful, beautiful, fun-loving people.

The Wire' really is an American classic, and I think that's something to be very proud of.
