I've gone very far, far away, but my character keeps me close to home.

I like to cook, walk on the beach, go to concerts and look at fine art.

I've lived, laughed, lost, and loved again the whole Shakespearian thing.

I started as a teenager going up on commercials.

And remember, it's also very funny, because side by side with grief lies joy.

Well, every time I get ready to do a job I want to lose weight.

I've lived three lifetimes in my short time.

I have very eclectic taste in music, but when it comes to going to concerts, I like going to rock concerts.

If we don't empower ourselves with knowledge, then we're gonna be led down a garden path.

I'm very involved in the writing on every level.

Once you wake up and smell the coffee, it's hard to go back to sleep.

Though I'm not religious in the classical sense I did partake in Passover.

Every time you go to the doctor and get a good report, the odds keep staking more in your favour.

I like writing better. Because I don't have to wear makeup, I don't have to be thin, and I don't have to remember lines.

My clothes are predominately black and my home is predominantly white.

Being famous gets me good concert tickets, good tables in restaurants, good seats at sporting events and that's really about it.

Well I could have been just a writer. I had been a hair dresser. I could have stuck with that.

You know I think that going into therapy is a very positive thing, and talking about it is really helpful, because the more you talk the more your fears fade, because you get it out.

I have been dairy free for several years, and I started because I felt it was going to reduce my allergies, which it did, and help me lose weight, which it did.

I did a terrible television pilot that was so badly written and dumb that it became a turning point for me and I decided that I would never accept a job just because I needed the money.

Well, my favorite color I guess I would say yellow.

Since my illness, I've felt the presence of my angels.

If I go to a concert or sporting event I usually go in a VIP entrance. And leave the same way.

I choose the places I go to carefully and wisely. I'll rarely go to a shopping mall anymore.

I've gone very far, far away, but my character keeps me close to home.

Life is precious and there's not a lot of room for anger.

I was popular. I wasn't the most popular. But I definitely held my own.

I don't go to places where I'm going to get mobbed.

People lived in the same apartments for years. You'd meet a group of kids in kindergarten, and you'd still be with them in high school. No one ever left the neighborhood.

I had my moments when I got very frightened that I would not recover.

I told her I wanted a plastic surgeon to sew me up, and I wanted her to freeze my ovaries, so I could harvest the eggs and have a biological child through a surrogate.

It was a small provincial place with great people and I had a happy childhood growing up in Queens.

Once you wake up and smell the coffee its hard to go back to sleep.

Illness is the great equalizer. It doesn't matter who you are, rich or poor, young or old, fat or thin, sick is sick.

In this watering-place I acted an heroic character, badly studied; and being a novice on such a stage, I forgot my part before a pair of lovely blue eyes.

I do like to embed a fictional character firmly in an occupation.

But even with a character like Cary who is relatively outlandish, at the end of the movie he's in a place where I wouldn't have expected him to be - taking on the responsibility of a woman who is pregnant and who used to be his best friend's wife.

Always, your work is the same: You have to tell a story, you have to make a character. It doesn't matter if there are thousands of dollars, millions behind it, or if there is nothing.

Each of us is meant to have a character all our own, to be what no other can exactly be, and do what no other can exactly do.

I liked Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer, and that is the kind of character that I would like to have played. That would have been more in tune with who I really was.

It's the difficulty we had with Mr. Bean, actually, when it went from TV to film. You certainly discover that you need to explain more about a character.

I've been on the show for six years and I don't even know what her history is. I sort of make things up in my mind, but I think it's hard for an audience to follow and invest in a character when they don't have the details.

It is not true that drink changes a man's character. It may reveal it more clearly.

Because I killed a guy in real life, and because my character kills a guy onstage, they said I could never do anything this great again. I resented that.

Well, I go to the theater today, and its curtain - there is no curtain in this play; the lights go down and go up - and we start. And I live this character for two hours. There are only two of us in the play. And It's a complete experience.

I just kind of understood it, and I threw my love for others and love for life into the character, and was having a blast. I loved playing Dharma. I loved it!
