I stuck out like a sore thumb when I came on, just by the fact that I looked so different. I think that adjustment for the audience was a hurdle for me.

I've grown up so much here. It's been two years. I've become a woman here, I've become an actress here.

What made me fall in love with acting, which is my life, was watching other people perform. It made me hunger to do that.

It will take a long time, and certainly the West will remain the dominant civilization well into the next century, but the decline is occurring.

I have done things politically, and I've been running a business at the same time, but I sort of joke that to some extent I do more than most legislators have done in their whole careers, and I've been doing it as a part-time job.
