Because that which was new was almost always temporary. And that which was temporary broke your heart.

I've always been slightly embittered about computers because it was the only subject I failed at school.

Men and women are both humans, so, for me, that makes my characters and the work that I do human stories.

I realised there were no good role models for kids. Popeye eats spinach, but also smokes and hits people.

There was never any question about his (Enos Slaughter) courage. He proved it by getting married four times.

Everyone's trying to get a reality show, and we're just trying to avoid accidentally being on a reality show.

My message with 'LazyTown' has always been really simple; I just want to get kids and families moving together.

Like a lovely vase that someone has smashed. Only luck and skill can put it back together the way it was before.

I always took myself really seriously in my 20s and needed everyone to know that I wasn't a spoiled blond actress.

Platform flip-flops. Those were crazy. Wait, I don't think they were ever fashionable. But we saw them everywhere.

There's nothing like getting yourself into character and seeing a different person. It really wears on your vanity.

Being an actor is often very tedious, which is why it helps hugely if your fellow cast members are also good friends.

I learned that there are two things that kids really like: movement and love. Happy kids move; unhappy, they don't move.

With 'Barely Famous', we've tapped into and created something really exciting that we'll always be proud of going forward.

That really hurt me- I tried to help those children but people just wanted to make fun of me.It was cruel and unnecessary.

When I was 12, I didn't know about Nirvana or Oasis or any of those people. I was listening to Ella Fitzgerald and Gershwin.

I think, in anyone's career, you have to map out some sort of strategy of steps that take you closer to the career you want.

What's important in any working relationship or working with someone in your family is you have to start with a clean slate.

As a woman, you're not limited to being one thing or the other. You can be feminine and sexy and beautiful and hot and funny.

There's this whole feeling that women should be small and quiet and polite, and I don't think that's really gotten us anywhere.

My earliest memories are at the Blue Note here in New York or backstage at different theatres or different clubs, dressing rooms.

As an actor, you want to do the best job possible, and you want the best scripts possible because it makes life more interesting.

I think one of my biggest influences is Bette Davis. I've seen almost every one of her films, and she's been very inspiring to me.

I think it's very important to do things the way you want to do them and be true to yourself, your own goals, and your own ideals.

I think that people should absolutely be allowed to do whatever they want with their bodies and to live the life they want to lead.

Women need to be able to speak out if they are uncomfortable or something happened in the past that they were not comfortable with.

I have no interest in feeling like a trophy. Money itself has never been attractive to me; instead, I prefer ambition and integrity.

People want to see someone who looks like they might have this enviable life, but in turn, they are a mess and their life is a mess.

The more often a person tell a lie-the more time u hear lie,u begin to believe it-if it's told often enough,u start begin to believe it

The greatest thing about siblings is you constantly have someone putting you in check; there's no room to get delusional about yourself.

I've known parabatai so close they were almost the same person; do you know what happens, when one of them dies, to the one that's left-

Your sister knows everything to say to piss you off. But sisters tend to be each other's biggest champion and also their hardest critics.

There are so many shows that are 'white,' and we wanted to talk about how two really delusional, cliche white girls handle racial issues.

There's a lot of things I want to do. I want to learn Italian. I want to learn to play tennis better. I want to motivate the world, basically.

The Bachelor'... and 'The Bachelorette'... and 'Bachelor in Paradise'... and the 'After the Final Rose ceremony'. I love a competition dating show.

I don't even know who I am. All I know is that I am the sibling, daughter, sister, the friend of somebody, and I need to know who I am outside of that.

It's a fact that kids watch TV. But if you think back, when you watched cowboy movies, you would go out and play cowboys. TV and movies motivate people.

I have run from a lot of relationships in favor of being alone. And I tend to find men who use their money and status as a dating tool to be unattractive.

Obviously, it's the Lucille Balls of the world who helped make humor accessible to women and in a voice that women related to. I just wanted to continue that.

Ever since I was a kid, I've always been fascinated by the Arthurian Legend, and, you know, the notion of nobility in battle and the - the notion of chivalry.

When you watch women who are a great mom, a great wife, and a great CEO, like, it's very inspiring. Like, being friends with Jessica Alba makes you work harder.

To go from Girl, Interrupted, where I had to cry every day, to a TV show like West Wing where I get to laugh and joke around every day, has been a welcome relief.

We didn't have parents who let us get away with anything. We grew up here with privilege, and we never got a D.U.I., we never went to rehab, we never got pregnant.

Art often reflects what's going on in the world, and we're seeing stories that are very diverse and that are lead and made by women because that's what's in our world.

I wish I was super-serious, anguished. I see those actors, and I am like, 'Oh God, they are so cool, and they seem so interesting.' I don't take acting that seriously.

The truth is that the celebrities that transitioned into being business moguls or launching a brand have to be very smart, or at least be advised by very smart people.

I think the idea is when you're on your death bed to say you did a lot of different, interesting things, not just that you have a more expensive lining in your coffin.

I have never really believed that acting is very difficult. I think some people have a skill and are able to act, and if you have that natural gift, it's not difficult.

I never wanted to be an actor as a kid. I wanted to play hockey, like every other kid in Canada. I had a pretty good shot at it until I was 15 and badly injured myself.

I'm willing to forgive the press, or forgive anybody,I was taught to love and forgive,which I do have in my heart,but please don't believe these crazy, horrifying things.
