Why not show off if you've got something to show?

A lot of the stuff that I do with Betty is in the eyes. A lot of the feelings that I evoke with her are unspoken, so that's been fun to play with.

People think that I changed my name. I could've been an actress, a superhero, or a stripper.

I wanted to be a meteorologist. I wanted to be a marine biologist.

My dad liked how January went with Jones. My sisters' names are Jina and Jacey Jones.

'Mad Men' was really my first television role, and it never feels like TV to me. It's done at such a high level.

If I could do one thing over I'd have been nicer to my parents.

I lived in a town of 400 until I was like nine or ten. My dad coached all the sports - he was a gym teacher and health teacher for grades K-12.

In this business, I don't know how you can have a plan or how you can orchestrate anything. But I've been lucky with my choices. I'm very strong-willed, so I've been able to stick with it. I'm lucky there.

Why not show off if you've got something to show?

I have that thing in my stomach where I just need to keep striving for things. In my mind, I want the fairy tale.

I feel as though my career really hit its high point when I was cast as a supporting actress in 'American Wedding'. I thought the script had a lot of depth and intelligence, and it really just jumped off the page.

If everything always went perfectly, I would feel like, When is the ball going to drop? Because good things don't always last. Maybe I'm a pessimistic person. When something just seems too good, I can't believe it.

Going to New York to do whatever - show business - it just seemed fun. It seemed fun to go to the big city and meet all kinds of different people and maybe be famous. It was just exciting. So I wasn't scared.

I choose roles that are not me.

Am I being typecast as a horrible person? I don't know. I don't think so. But if it happens, I'd rather get to play that, because there's nothing fun about being sweet. Sweet can be so boring, so I'd be happy staying away from that.

I really like the Observer. I think I'd love to have a column with a broad reach that would enable me to do some proper reporting, but keep it on sort of a humorous level. I've always had a very happy experience writing for them.

The fundamental problem is that President Obama has grown government. He has grown the private sector jobs.

Every week, we read about horrific tragedies resulting from children who play with firearms and accidentally shoot themselves or their family members.

I could cut my leg of; I could cut my arm off. I could gouge my eye out - I'd still probably survive, but not very well, and that's what we're doing to the ocean. It's the life support system of this planet. We've been dumping in it, we've been polluting it, we've been destroying it for decades, and we're essentially maiming ourselves.

The core of Wikipedia is something people really believe in. That is too valuable for the world to screw it up.

The history of Europe over the last several centuries provides clear evidence of the transformative power of commerce.

I take a hiatus every now and again, but I'm not good at that.

I just want to do what I do best, and that's fight. I love it.

Into this pour the purified juice: and put it into a pan of water come almost to a boil and continue nearly in the state of boiling until the juice is found to be the consistency of a thick syrup when cold. It is then when cold, to be corked up in a bottle for use.

Well, a special screening was set up for government officials, so they didn't have to see the experience of going to see the film. They certainly aren't going to the projects to see for themselves the situation.
