I don't even take myself seriously, so how could I possibly take Hollywood seriously?

I'd love to be a man for a day, just to see what it's like.

I don't think Hollywood per se is supposed to be taken seriously, otherwise, dear Lord, that would be frightening.

Sticking to your values, listening to your instincts, making your own choices is so important.

I've always seen myself as one of those 'show people.' My earliest memories are wanting and needing to entertain people, like a gypsy traveler who goes from place to place, city to city, performing for audiences and reaching people.

The older I get, the more I embrace my own idiosyncrasies.

I can play any instrument if you give me 20 minutes.

Tired is not a word in my vocabulary.

If I could be a third of the woman that my mom is and have a third of the strength that she has, then I will have done good by this life.

I think they should take everyone who works for The National Enquirer and the Star, and everyone who works for Us Weekly, and put them all to work looking for terrorists. I think they would find the terrorists. All of them. It would be genius!

You actually can make it, no matter what. I truly am a firm believer in that. Eminem's living proof.

I consider myself a character actor.

I find this life so interesting.

I'm an actor. It's my job.

After a breakup, it takes a couple weeks for the fog to settle, but it's always a period of self-priority and growth. Life presents you with so many decisions. A lot of times, they're right in front of your face and they're really difficult, but we must make them.

And as much as I love the gritty characters, I like to play all sorts of characters. I'm an actor. I love to create.

Anyone that has a music career and an acting career I think is pretty fantastic.

Curiosity did kill the cat, but I'm very curious.

Home is where my mom is.

I always wanted to be a young mom, but generations of women have worked so hard so we can have a career and wait to have children. So I say carpe diem - take advantage of that.

I can't believe that people actually know my first and last name. I think it's really, really, gosh-darn neat.

I definitely want to start a family, but that will happen when it's supposed to.

I do sarcasm really poorly.

I don't really take myself very seriously.

I just always have to cry out a breakup, and then I can make peace with it pretty quickly.

I love being in love.

I love producing. My dream as a producer is to be able to build a company that can be a safe haven for artists, for directors and for writers and actors to do what they do best and let them have final edit. I'd like to build something to that effect.

I never had a chance to learn how to drive.

I never really make solid resolutions. I think if there's something one needs to change with oneself, it doesn't have to happen in the New Year.

I take work very seriously and telling the truth in my job and professionalism.

I think if there's something one needs to change with oneself, it doesn't have to happen in the New Year. You can do that any time you please - not that it's not a good inspirational tactic for the people that it works for.

I think the key to happiness is allowing ourselves to not feel bad or guilty for feeling it, and letting it be contagious. And to not be dependent on other people to create your own happiness.

I'd do almost anything for love, within safe boundaries.

I'd do almost anything for love, within safe boundaries. I've flown to places to surprise people, even if it was just for a day. I think it's so important to keep the romance alive and make sure the fun and spontaneity are there.

I'm a Christian. I go to church when I can. I was raised Baptist. I went to a Lutheran school. I'm a nondenominational practicing Christian. I have a lot of faith.

I'm a clean freak and a germaphobe - I have hand sanitizer in my pocket.

I'm a really rotten liar. Generally, if I've tried to pull off a lie, it hasn't worked out to my advantage.

I'm an actor. I love to create.

I'm not really a big candy eater.

I'm trying to figure out the trick of working to live as opposed to living to work, but I don't know if I've quite stumbled upon it just yet.

I've never formally trained in acting, so I'm very instinctual and visceral with decisions.

It blows my mind the way Frank Miller can write.

It's always been my mom and I against the world.

It's easy to get wrapped up in sharing everyday life with a partner. It's fun to get lost in love and romance. It's the best. But holding on to yourself while doing that is the most important thing.

My dream as a producer is to be able to build a company that can be a safe haven for artists, for directors and for writers and actors to do what they do best and let them have final edit. I'd like to build something to that effect.

My dreams and aspirations when I was a child for as long as I can remember was to be an entertainer.

My singing voice isn't like my speaking voice.
