If I turn on the television, am I to believe that that is America? I'm sorry, I don't believe that's America.

I hate going into a room with people in it and the feeling of them staring. I find every moment excruciating.

Actors are sensitive freaks, but it amazes me that it is something that I haven't improved on over the years.

I had a wonderful holiday, a wonderful New Year and it was very special. That's all you're getting out of me.

I seriously don't take praise to my heart or to my head. I only want to work harder and never get complacent.

There is nothing more joyful to me than hearing a live audience laugh. Especially when I planned it that way!

You're going to have an upset stomach. If you eat spicy stiff because you're upset, then you'll get diarrhea.

I literally felt like a freak, which is another aspect of the role of Sally that I relate to: total outsider.

Getting married and staying married is a wonderful way to increase your wealth - but the key is stay married.

I'm definitely one of those people who think that everything you do leads up to the moment where you are now.

I go short and sweet on the engagement. I did have a longish engagement, but I think short and sweet is best.

I danced growing up. I had two friends of mine that, actually, one of them wound up dancing with Alvin Ailey.

Someone told me I had funny facial expressions. I don't know whether I take that as a compliment or not, but.

I love color. I'm enjoying trying all different shades. Makeup isn't something I've worn a lot of in my life.

Part of being an artist is that you are always concerned you don't have what it takes. It... keeps us honest.

It was a wonderful experience acting with Prasenjit Chatterjee, the reigning king of Kolkata's film industry.

I have to tell you this - as a teenager, I never used to see any horror films till I started acting in films.

I live with three boys, and I can't tell you how hard it is to get your hands on toilet paper. They steal it.

We've got to know our history. We have to be able to bring our children to a place that they can be proud of.

I'm dating somebody. I am enjoying it very much, and having a really nice time at the moment. I'm very happy.

I don't have to walk around in hats or find remote places to go for lunch! I don't get recognised that often.

To be a geisha, you have to have to an iron-clad layer around you - around your physical body and your heart.

I don't think anybody planned for me to be an actor. I didn't. I didn't know this was what I was going to do.

If I just did music, I might go insane. I need words; I need stories. And it's the same the other way around.

I've been a member of some good gyms in the past. I love a good spinning class; I love a good aerobics class.

I've played a lot of elegance and refinement, so to do something really down and dirty is a great attraction.

I'm quite physical. I'm from one of those dog-walking families where hiking up a mountain is meant to be fun.

I'm always a little skeptical when I hear people promoting a film and they say it has something for everyone.

I have this very strange sensitive skin. If I put anything on it but this one product, it erupts into a rash.

Children at certain ages have distinct actions, and boys at certain ages have a particular way of acting too.

If you have the opportunity for your art to meet activism, you shouldn't pass that up when it comes your way.

Movies are getting more and more expensive to distribute. You need a lot of money to get people into theaters

It is interesting to break all the rules. I'm not married, I have a baby, and it feels infinitely more right.

I love music and musicians. And seeing great artists dropped from labels was really frustrating and sad to me

My attitude is always one of sensuality, aggressive enthusiasm and a kind of outrageousness in my expression.

I was not a womanizer; I didn't date a lot. If I kissed somebody, I was basically married from that point on.

I moved to LA and decided to do films and television, mainly because the theater in New York is totally dead.

Be brave and clear. Follow your heart and don't be overly influenced by outside factors. Be true to yourself.

All actors are naughty. We're all troublemakers - horrible, attention-seeking children. 'Me, me, look at me!'

I've always wanted to be older, as I think it's all right to be a little bit odd when you're out of your 20s.

I grew up in a very patriarchal family. And I believe that I like being a woman. I act behaving like a woman.

We have to stop thinking about ourselves so much and start thinking about the environment. We have to change.
