I have always done what I wanted to do.

Everyone has the impulse to be elite.

I can't say too much about it because I don't know a lot. We're not told what's in store for our characters until we turn up to shoot the episode. But it's fair to say that Betty and her son bring a brand new mystery to the street and they will be around all season.

Even when I was saying I was Agnostic and trying to figure out my thoughts, I felt God was allowing me to do that.

After 9/11 and the impending actors' strike of a few years ago, roles dried up for everyone.

As an adult (after college) and as an artist I thought about what was real, what sustained me - it was Christian Science. I was using that when I didn't know it. Saying yes to the Light and your better instinct.

I am not getting any younger and am taking a new approach to life.

And I communed with many different faiths and even when I wanted to be rebellious I never did not believe in Him. I never believed the people who said God was destructive or punishing.

Does my character hate Bree? Well, let's just put it this way. Bree hasn't seen the last of me. I gave that drunk gal a ride home a few episodes ago and she turned on me!

I just had a full body cleanse. And am eating right and exercising a lot.

Television studios bet the farm on reality shows, where they didn't need any actors and movie studios had no plans for any quality movies that required the presence of me.

I have always done what I wanted to do.

I rather go to see a good play than be in one.

You very seldom see a picture where you watch the process of falling in love.

When you feel a connection, a gut connection, a heart connection, it's a very special thing. What's familiar to everyone is watching people falling in love; it doesn't happen on screen that often. People fall in lust, then they're suddenly together.

I think people need to understand that with plays and with cinema, when you hear about it, call and get a ticket then or go and see it then. It's especially with the play, which I can do because it's a limited run.

Sports isn't just a part of life. It's not life itself.

Patrice O'Neal is the best comic I ever saw.

Originality is independence, not rebellion; it is sincerity, not antagonism.

The flag of the United States has not been created by rhetorical sentences in declarations of independence and in bills of rights. It has been created by the experience of a great people, and nothing is written upon it that has not been written by their life. It is the embodiment, not of a sentiment, but of a history.

Politics is only worthwhile if you are doing what you believe, regardless of the slings and arrows.

I believe that education is all about being excited about something. Seeing passion and enthusiasm helps push an educational message.

I'm not the coolest person in the world. I'm not the sexiest Diva or the strongest Diva. I know who I am. I'm not the most popular person, and I'm kind of dorky, and I'm someone you can see at your school or as your neighbor, and I think people like that.

I love Adele so much and it's honestly not because we're both big.

I can't say I feel influenced by today's guitar players.

Endurance is nobler than strength, and patience than beauty.

Reading the Book of Mormon is one of the greatest persuaders to get men on missions.

Superstition is the poetry of life.

Nothing is more terrible than activity without insight.

Races and nations are thus ever ready to believe the worst of one another.

Before high school ended, I started applying to college. It really wasn't even a choice because of the brainwashing of my parents.

There are so many opportunities in life, that the loss of two or three capabilities is not necessarily debilitating. A handicap can give you the opportunity to focus more on art, writing, or music.

Life in cities is not a spring but a river, or rather, a water main. It progresses like a novel, artificially.

To be successful, you really have to put your ego in the background and try to be diplomatic to achieve what you want to achieve.

I have sort of weaned myself off of reading my own reviews, which is a constant struggle.

Action without a name, a 'who' attached to it, is meaningless.

The poison of selfishness destroys the world.

You may not quite understand the cinematic tricks that go behind the making of a film, but as long as you feel it, I think that's the important thing.

I'm a pure spirit, ha ha ha!

Life is either a daring adventure or nothing.
