When [we]were first married, [Wade] begged me to be practical...thank God I lived by my credo: 'Veni, vidi, visa - I came, I saw, I charged it.

Working with a great director is like getting a master class in acting.

Its so funny whenever things come full circle.

Veni, vidi, visa - I came, I saw, I charged it.

It's great that I don't have to apologize about being over 26.

I keep both of my Tonys on my mantle. Theyre in front of a mirror so if you look at just the right angle, it looks like I have four!

The first thing I ask when Im offered a part is, Whos the director? which is something they never understand in Los Angeles.

To me, getting notes, honing the part, and refining the role is the real fun of the play.

I try to tell myself I’m not schizophrenic. But when I’m not acting, I’m not alive. Everyday is just not heightened enough for me. I’m more focused, more interesting when I’m working.

I love to be directed, and I can glean something from almost anyone.

I think these are terrible times to be anything in.

There's no conversation more boring than talking about what it's really like to live in Newport and how the show compares to the real thing. I just don't care.

Reciprocity of sensation is not possible because to share is to be robbed.

Flea and Anthony are into funk, like old school Meters and stuff like that.

A ruthless man extends his ruthlessness from those he does not love to those he loves.

My ultimate search has been for a muse.

Life doesn't happen to you, it happens for you.

I feel like there is this resurgence of amazing roles for women. It's because TV is so good - there are amazing parts for women on TV, and it's upped the game in movies.

The arguments for purity of life fail of their due influence, not because they have been considered and confuted, but because they have been passed over without consideration.

Does HIV cause AIDS? Can a virus cause a syndrome? How? It can't, because a syndrome is a group of diseases resulting from acquired immune deficiency.
