When you think of dog movies, that genre, Old Yeller is sort of the benchmark and you hope that you can raise your game up to that.

I am a creature of habit.

There are no regrets in life, just lessons.

I love that feeling of being in love, the effect of having butterflies when you wake up in the morning. That is special.

I feel sexy in my jeans and wearing my boyfriend's T-shirt.

My dad became a soap opera actor, and I was an extra in a skating rink scene on the soap. I didn't audition. It was nepotism all the way.

People who do comedy are always underrated because they make it look so easy.

Once you figure out who you are and what you love about yourself, I think it all kinda falls into place.

I just think that we show an awful lot of deference to chefs in our culture and maybe not enough deference to customers.

Acting doesn't suffice.

A man in a jail has more room, better food, and commonly better company

We term sleep a death, and yet it is waking that kills us, and destroys those spirits that are the house of life.

Clerks get into the damnedest wrangles--which is the way they help me.
