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.

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.

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

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.

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.

An artist is a man who says a difficult thing in a simple way

I think that the world should be full of cats and full of rain, that's all, just cats and rain, rain and cats, very nice, good night.

Almost everybody is born a genius and buried an idiot.
