When you're acting you put so much of yourself into working. As much fun as it is, it's still hard work and it's still a challenge.

ER was one of my favourites. I played a car accident victim who has leukemia. I got to wear a neck brace and nose tubes for the two days I worked.

I think I was a Japanese schoolgirl in another life. That's how much I love Hello Kitty.

When I go home, I play with my baby dolls and strollers and diaper bags, and play with my sisters.

I've been a ballerina since I was two, but I've always wanted to be an actress.

It's important to be a global citizen at the same time and appreciate different cultures and different people and different ways of life.

I do feel very American. I think it's something I'm proud of and proud to be by chance born here. Honestly, that's something I think about.

I love who I am and I love my life, but if I could be someone else, I'd be Beyonce in two seconds.

My job is all about getting inside another person's mind and thoughts.

Acting is what I love to do. I wouldn't trade it for the world. I don't think of it as work. It's really fun for me.

I don't throw my clothes out after one wear. Shocking, I know.

Stepping onto a brand-new path is difficult, but not more difficult than remaining in a situation, which is not nurturing to the whole woman.

You are a cosmic flower. Om chanting is the process of opening the psychic petals of that flower.

Encourage, lift and strenthen one another. For the positive energy spread to one will be felt by us all.

Maturity is the ability to make a decision and stand by it.

Why are people afraid of getting older? You feel wiser. You feel more mature. You feel like you know yourself better. You would trade that for softer skin? Not me!

Yes folks, their gold medal looks the same as everybody elses.

I have two beautiful dogs that I cherish.

I was beaten down long ago in some alley in another world.

I've met people who are baffled by children, as though they were never children themselves.

Screening out peer pressure and conventional wisdom. It is so powerful, that most of us aren't even aware of how much it is influencing our decisions.
