I don't remember ever having finished a book.

My favorite teams are the Dallas Cowboys and the New York Jets.

I am always looking for a cool tee shirt; maybe one with a rock band or an old advertisement.

But, I understand that Black Comb and Whistler are supposed to be great for snowboarding. So I am looking forward to going there someday soon.

I love to find a great vintage secondhand shop.

Snowboarding! I love it! Some of the best places to snowboard are Telluride and Park Cities, Utah.

Girls in my school were always prettier.

I am not a party girl.

It's just me and my 6-month-old puppy. I am not dating anyone.

Opening a family-style restaurant with comfort food like mac 'n' cheese, ribs and burgers has always been my dream.

When I go out with my 16-year-old friends, I don't wear Chanel.

I was a fine arts major in college, and a painter for many years. And I found that, like writing, art is very similar.

In 1930, I was at the top of my career. I won the Most Valuable Player award.

That excitement on the court, I'm the same way off the court. I like to have fun, meet people; I like to give high-fives to the kids courtside. Just have fun. That's kind of my personality, that's how I've been.

One of my friends is Snake from Skid Row.

It is ironic that American women now need to be fortified by the inspiration of the women of the Arab Spring, who risked so much to win basic human rights.

Every actor wants to be everybody - play all the roles.

The thing with Kerry is that all of this is a natural progression, her troubles. It's a cycle.

If a woman wants to take her husband's name, that's her choice, and I still think she can be feminist while doing that.

Making 'Beloved' was an awesome experience.

There's a clock ticking on the pregnancy thing, but not a clock ticking on adoption.

The rain forest has Sting. Now Siberia has Jack Dee. Someone had to draw the short straw. In this case it was the rain forest.

I'm very accepting with my age. It's like notches on your belt: experience, wisdom, and a different kind of beauty.

When there is an original sound in the world, it makes a hundred echoes.

Composing is my life blood.

I really think that everybody would like to be an actor. Why wouldn't they? It's great work if you can get it. The one thing that prevents most people from saying, 'I'm just gonna go to Hollywood!' is that it seems unrealistic.

I was teased up until high school about my hair, being short, my high pitched voice, and just anything you can think of.

I'm just not a religious person, not at all. I consider myself a spiritual person. I was always very drawn to Buddhism, Hinduism. I still meditate.

It's so funny because my mom is Thai and my dad is this big American guy - and our food tastes were so similar growing up. He was meat and potatoes, I was meat and potatoes.

My movies just kind of sneak up on you. I don't have to worry too much about what everybody is going to say. Anyway, I really don't pay attention to what the world says about my movies. I just care about what my buddies think.
