I'm drawn to roles that have real substance, that aren't just the victim or the teenage girl or the girlfriend.

My older siblings and I all work in 'the industry'. So obviously we have hectic schedules, but we make it work.

My mother wasn't rational those last years; if she had been, she would have been horrified by her own behavior.

I realized that beauty was not a thing that I could acquire or consume, it was something that I just had to be.

I think the amazing thing about 'Twin Peaks' was that it completely changed television from that point forward.

I didn't follow big box office ideas. That eventually led me to witches. It's led me to find interesting roles.

I've decided that whether I succeed or fail, I have to give it 100 per cent. That way, at least I know I tried.

I've been very, very, very, very fortunate, and I'm very grateful for my career and that, at 60, I won an Emmy.

I know that my look is more "toothpaste model" as opposed to artsy, which sucks because I can play those roles.

It is so fantastic being an actress because you have the chance to be a thousand different people when you act.

I've worked with leading men so worried about losing their charm that they were always winking to the audience.

I've been watching 'Game of Thrones,' and I can't wait for 'Bored to Death' to come back, it's one of my faves.

It can only be true love when you enable your other half to be better, to be the person they're destined to be.

On 'Far North,' we were always aware of being at the whim of mother nature. She's the biggest star in the film.

I had been wanting to do a musical for a really long time. I wanted people in New York to know that I can sing.

I tried to be really tough when I was younger. I felt I had to stand up for myself. I never felt like I fit in.

I'm a London girl, so I grew up on Alexander McQueen and Vivienne Westwood... Dior, Chanel, the usual suspects.

My humor is a lot like Kristen Wiig's from 'Saturday Night Live' or 'Bridesmaids.' Quirky, off the beaten path.

I do want to finish my education. I just don't think that Boston has a big enough market for what I want to do.

Ive always written poetry and lyrics. My first husband, who was a musician, we wrote a bunch of songs together.

I laughed from the time I arrived at the studio until I left at night. I was almost ashamed to take a paycheck.

I have the same criteria for choosing roles as I have always had: fantastic writing and complicated characters.

I didn't stutter when I was reading lines in a script. When I got away from myself, I didn't have that problem.

A lot of people have so many issues like depression, obesity or chronic illness that has to do with gut health.

Mom is the most unconditionally loving person I will ever know, and she has always supported me on every level.

Invest in your brain, invest in your talents. Those things can appreciate and they get better as you get older.

I wish for myself as an adult that I cared less what people thought of me, especially people who don't know me.

Now I literally roll out of bed and put on whatever is there. I have really enjoyed being a boy this last year.

There are some movies that I absolutely hate but someone else loves - people love things for different reasons.

If vampires and werewolves were walking around today, there would be chaos. People would be losing their minds.

I have a thing about angels. I believe in them. I feel like I have a guardian angel. I think everybody has one.

OK, I'm not what you'd call 'wild.' But I'm no prude, either - I love to party, and I play a mean game of pool.

You know, I have never had a casting couch proposition in my life. I thought there was something wrong with me.

I think that, with homoeopathy, if you get the right mix, it works 20 times quicker than conventional medicine.

With my coloring, I'm nothing in black and white. I've seen my films sometimes on black-and-white TV. Disaster.

It's difficult to just let go of a character. Especially after you've been preparing and researching for weeks.

I will be able to look back on my teen years as spent on a television set just having the biggest bunch of fun.

Sometimes my past is extraordinarily heavy. That's when I scream and cry until I feel like I can breathe again.

Just because no one has been fortunate enough to realize how wonderful you are, doesnt mean you shine any less.

I grew up doing stage work as a child and as a teenager, so the stage is my home where I feel most comfortable.

I tried to hostess... but they fired me after four days because I couldn't figure out how seating plans worked.

I wanted to wear a uniform when I was in high school, but I couldn't. I was like, "It would be so much easier!"

I want, through my roles, to express the parts in the hearts of Chinese women that they feel unable to let out.

There's nothing in Chinese culture that is an equivalent of the geisha. It's so different, so special to Japan.

It's not easy for Chinese actors to do foreign films, and it's not easy for foreign actors to do Chinese films.

'Welcome...' was a challenging role for me. Be it the look or the dialect, every bit of it was new and exciting.

I am happy that a script like 'Meri Awaaz Hi Pehchaan Hai' is character-driven and has a lot of freshness to it.

I was not the most attractive child. I had two really big buck teeth. I was horrendous - long, lanky and gangly.
