I'd rather have a small part in a movie I love than a bigger part in one I don't care about.

Whether it was work, marriage, or family, I've always been a late bloomer.

I love playing an alien.

It's always the script that's going to lure me. And I don't really care about the part.

I used to be terribly shy, so I was either shy or over the top, and I always had a difficult time.

I don't really see science fiction as fiction. I can imagine colonies on Mars and everything.

Usually it's the guys that don't follow you around, who you're attracted to!

I feel self-doubt whether I'm doing something hard or easy.

Every role sort of teaches you how to prepare for it.

If you come back from the dead, you don't have the same value system, I think.

It's rare when you have everything going perfectly all at the same time.

Please, God, please, don't let me be normal!

Don't depend on other people's encouragement. It's never enough and never when you need it.

Never burn bridges. Today's junior jerk, tomorrow's senior partner.

I'm a perfectionist, so my bossiness definitely comes out.

My friends are all really nice about my fame, they're just curious really, they ask lots of questions.

I think women are scared of feeling powerful and strong and brave sometimes.

The saddest thing for a girl to do is to dumb herself down for a guy.

Really I was open-minded about doing anything, but the one thing I didn't want to do was get myself into a corset, because I was worried I'd never get out again.
