It’s more than just saying lines and turning the light on. You have to drive the story - there’s a technical aspect.

As an actor, you're used to putting on characters, taking them off, becoming someone else, doing your research, and working on that.

Theater's my first love. I love it. It excites me. It feeds me.

I'm the type of individual that I enjoy watching any different cultural lives, and I see the common humanity even though the hair textures are different or the skin tones are varied.

When I was in school, my mother stressed education. I am so glad she did. I graduated from Yale College and Yale University with my master's and I didn't do it by missing school.

People confuse the person and the part.

Acting is my calling, not my career.

Drink a bunch of water and get facials regularly. I take care of my skin.

I am content that the work that I've done is wonderful.

I guess I'm breaking out a little of what's comfortable and easy.

I really believe that what I do as an actress is my God-given talent. This is my calling, not my career.

When you ask the best questions of yourself and others, you invite the best answers.

I am a series of small victories and large defeats and I am as amazed as any other that I have gotten from there to here.

Only the boring get bored

Some people never go crazy, What truly horrible lives they must live.

In my next life I want to be a cat. To sleep 20 hours a day and wait to be fed. To sit around licking my ass.

My ambition is handicapped by laziness

Are you becoming what you've always hated?

Do you hate people? I don't hate them.. I just feel better when they're not around.
