I lived in grass huts in a jungle in the Philippines for three weeks with tribal people.

I was brought up in a household where I was not allowed to take the Lord's name in vain.

I know that, like every woman of the people, I have more strength than I appear to have.

Microblogs are yet another form of public display, but I would rather be true to myself.

In terms of a character, I would love to play a fairy. I think that would be really fun.

At least three times a week, I'm approached by someone who says something about 'Fargo.'

Nudity has never been a big deal to me. I sort of grew up with a lot of it in my family.

I was born naked. I'm a natural. I'm a natural nude. So I've been on camera naked a lot.

I just keep active - everything thats challenging me, everything that I feel like doing.

A Woman Under the Influence was my favorite. I loved doing that. And it was challenging.

I can never have a poker face. Anybody looking at me can tell exactly what I'm thinking.

Jealousy is, I think, the worst of all faults because it makes a victim of both parties.

I learned quickly at Columbia that the only eye that mattered was the one on the camera.

I loved to eat. For all of Hollywood's rewards, I was hungry for most of those 20 years.

I really think that effective acting has to do literally with the movement of molecules.

I had a dresser who literally squeezed me in like Scarlett O'Hara in Gone With The Wind.

A person has to keep something to herself or you're life is just a layout in a magazine.

I struggled for many, many years following 'Music and Lyrics' - I mean really struggled.

There's such an energy bounding around New York, I can't help but get swept along in it.

Reading cookbooks will help with just about anything in your life, including heartbreak.

I have the most fun writing and directing. And I always choose myself as the lead actor.

I say something bad every day, but I like to swear sparingly because it has more impact.

Unfortunately, a lot of kids don't read anymore. I don't know what we can do about that.

Now that I do so many Hallmark Channel movies I am recognized in public all of the time.

Of course, the surest way to free yourself from an existential crisis is through comedy.

I don't always like my own behavior. I haven't known anyone who is perfect all the time.

I'm inspired by people who are so sensitive and vulnerable that they try to cover it up.

I'm going to ask what is correct, what I deserve, especially in relation to male actors.

I always play girls who are quite traumatised, or a plain girl, but I'm happy with that.

Playing Shakespeare is really tiring. You never get to sit down, unless you're the king.

As a rule, my focus is on classical music, but I love jazz. I love everything, actually.

I don't think today's younger audience... would even know what 1920s musicals were like.

Singing has been a cherished gift, and my inability to sing has been a devastating blow.

I hope to get my name out there more in the Spanish-language business side of the world.

The moment somebody says 'this is very risky' is the moment it becomes attractive to me.

The only part of an argument that really matters is what we think of the people arguing.

I, personally, like to get dressed and then do my makeup and hair in about five minutes.

There are a lot of dogs that need homes, and it's not always easy to find the right fit.

I am always a little skeptical when I see people talking about how much money they have.

While being late in L.A. is common because of traffic, more than 20 minutes is too much.

I have fruit juices, cucumber juice and coconut water to cool myself in the hot weather.

I'm the little half-black, half-Jewish girl who was odd and awkward. I try to be myself.

I love Barbra Streisand. Anybody who knows me knows I just love her, love her, love her!

The studio system collapsed only when Elizabeth Taylor charged $1 million for Cleopatra.

I've never been the wilting flower. I've never been the girl who's subservient to a man.

I really want to play interesting roles, but you want to work, so it's a balancing game.
