The problem with me is, anything that's easy I will just overdo it. Especially with clothes. But I'm 14 - my mom is super-strict about that.

I was more feminine. I was a girly-girl until I moved to New York. Then I got really into the androgynous look of the early-'90s club scene.

We have to really think about where our food is coming from. The hormones being put in the stuff we eat - all of that contributes to cancer.

I feel like I'm extremely normal. I do have a bizarre face that's a bit out of proportion. I guess that's why some people see me as strange.

It rarely rains in Hollywood - and I love the rain. There are ups and downs to anywhere in the world, but I get frustrated without any rain.

I just think my life's been really blessed, because being in show business, I've met wonderful people, and I've traveled all over the world.

Everyday's a battle against; everyday's a fight for. Everyday is collaged with shadows cast in everyday's sunrise. Everyday is a new chance.

I work with kids, and I see certain things, so I realize now why my mother was so horrified and overprotective of everything that I watched.

I'll do humor about myself, I'll poke fun and everything, but that's me and I can do it to me. I think it's cruel to do it to somebody else.

My thinking about plastic surgery is this. I haven't had it, but never say never. Because when you do, you are definitely going to go there.

Chemotherapy is such a hard, hard kiss. Anything we can do to alleviate its side effects should be intelligently explored with an open mind.

I did do an American pilot, but it wasnt shot in America, it was shot in South Africa. It was called The Philanthropist, and it was for NBC.

I have become down-hearted, I have become discouraged, I have become depressed. I'm just like you. I'm a human being and I have my problems.

I was seeking a real love, a real deal, and I have been seeking it for a lot of years. And in that seeking, I found that God's love is real.

You get better at sex when you know your own body. How are you going to expect a man to know your body when you don't know what pleases you?

I think I can allow myself one child - and from then on, I think I would have to adopt. It makes sense not to add to the population problem.

It's very difficult to play opposite nothing. I did it for, like, six years - I ran from an invisible smoke monster for most of my twenties.

I'm not a depressive, but I certainly have mood swings. It's an occupational hazard, I would say, and I'm glad I'm in the occupation I'm in.

I thought of myself as an adult trapped in a kid's body. Had I known what adulthood was like, I would have embraced childhood a little more.

I think sexuality is fluid, and we have such a strange relationship to it in this country. It's been so fixed and so controlled for so long.

It is difficult to write about any form of mental disease, especially your own, without sounding as if you were examining a bug under glass.

I know I can't eat whatever I want and look the way I want, so you need to work for it. I give credit to Pilates and my parents' good genes.

I was terribly gawky, too goofy to become a high-kicking cheerleader, with stringy brown hair and bad posture. Definitely nobody noticeable!

I can't imagine having cosmetic surgery because I have my values and little family who makes me feel incredibly accepted but you never know.

As a dancer, I'd dance with broken toes. Just like acting, you compete with yourself and drive forward. That discipline helped in Hollywood.

I'm a creature of habit, so I like going to boutiques, rather than larger stores, where I know I'll find something that suits me every time.

Men like me because I dont wear a brassiere. Women like me because I dont look like a girl who would steal a husband. At least not for long.

I'll probably at some point get involved in Instagram and things like that because I feel it's reality, and it's the way people communicate.

My mind is constantly in five different places, but golf is great because it forces you to focus completely and purely on what you're doing.

It feels like I'm starting to come into my own in terms of where I want to go artistically, toward more complicated, interesting characters.

I like things where I can do a physical transformation, and I love accents and voices, and I'm never going to play the same character twice.

I firmly believe in what Stephen Hawking says - that if we don't get off this planet, we're going to go berserk. We have to have more space.

I have a completely new knee. It's brilliant. I am not feeling my age at all. I feel about 43, a willowy blonde 43 years old with long legs.

Most women seem to be required to pit themselves against men in dramatic situations, and the men got to pit themselves against ideas or God.

I always wanted to be a movie star. I thought it meant being famous and having breakfast in bed. I didn't know you had to be up at 4:00 a.m.

The country has double standards - it's obsessed with fair skin on one hand, but if the woman is white, she is expected to be loose-moraled.

What can you do if they have slapped you with a legal notice? You have to reply. For all you know, they have taken you to jail or something.

There is definitely something that has to be said for me liking the action, Lara Croft type stuff. I really want to explore that side of me.

I have a whole life in New York and a life in L.A. and to live one-third of the year in a place that isn't one of those is kind of a bummer.

Hair and make-up people don't get enough credit for what they do. It's not just making people look good. It's really creating the character.

One of my main techniques for acting is I try to know almost nothing beyond the words that I have to say, because that's my zone of control.

I was collecting Barbies. I know... embarrassing. I sold them all on eBay, and traded them for vintage dishes. So I've collected two things.

Howard Hawks said he'd like to put me in a film with Cary Grant or Humphrey Bogart. I thought, "Cary Grant-terrific! Humphrey Bogart-yucch."

First of all, the leads aren't the kind of acting work that I like. The parts that are meatier are not the ones that have to have a romance.

I've always loved big eyes, like those of Audrey Hepburn and Elizabeth Taylor. But my mother didn't allow me to wear make-up until I was 15.

Maybe people don't know I'm a news junkie? I watch and I tape a breadth of everything that's happening in the world, and that fascinates me.

I'm not interested in making money, or being wealthy enough to have a villa in Beverly Hills, because in Paris I don't need that much money.

I started doing karate at four, my parents were karatekas. I stopped when I was 17 and went to Julliard and had a lot of stage combat there.

I've been lucky to work consistently on women who I think are interesting, fleshed out, and strong and active participants in their destiny.

I grew up weird - very sensitive and highly inhibited. I felt like I was born in the wrong time zone to the wrong people at the wrong place.
