I think escapism is really important.

I think that unless you grew up in New York or Chicago or Los Angeles, you're sheltered.

Oscar night is a ridiculous night where you go to these parties and you see everyone that you've ever wanted to work with and admire.

I think escapism is really important.

I already have a production company called J Squared and we're working on two projects.

I feel like directing is an innate talent.

Well, I was lucky in that my being an actress totally overshadowed my having some kind of a... legacy at Yale, so that was kind of great.

I will not go on a blind date.

Also, when you think about a show that you used to watch as a kid or as a teenager, you look at it through sort of rose colored glasses when you remember it.

At school, I basically wear one pair of jeans and sneakers for months on end.

Even now that I'm married and 28, my room's still intact the way it was when I went to high school.

I had to take driving lessons in New York, which were really weird because it's not the safest thing in the world.

I like action more than anything touchy-feely.

I meditate, which I really like. Just 20 minutes twice a day and that really helps.

I miss the anonymity that comes with New York because everyone around you is so immersed in their own journey.

I moved to New York when I was 10, from Rio de Janeiro. So there was no need for driving: I took the subway, cabs and the bus.

I work out with a trainer five days a week.

I'd love to be a Bond girl. I mean, if you're going to be stereotyped, there are worse things to be stereotyped as.

My dream car would be a Maserati. That would be amazing.

Parking is a nightmare for me... I still have sensors on my car that help me park.

People spend so much time in their cars, and it's a legal way to have fun by speeding a little bit or testing yourself a little bit, and you get to invest in your car. For some people, it becomes their baby.

The ocean is 20 minutes away. Nature surrounds me 24/7. I wake up to the sounds of birds chirping. I also love that I can go out to dinner in jeans and flip-flops.

What I love about New York is that everyone is in their own world. It's the opposite of L.A. - there, everyone is looking outside of themselves to see who's next to them. What's great about New York is that you get to be anonymous.

When I do my own makeup, I keep things pretty simple.

When I was really young. My sister and I would create different characters with our Barbie dolls - I'd be the crazy diva Barbie and she'd be the homeless Barbie.

Women always want to be what they're not: If you're the pretty girl, you want to be the quirky girl. If you're the smart girl, you want to be the pretty girl.

You need the audience to become invested in the characters and in order to become invested, they need to identify with the characters... and that's why the characters need to be real.

I sell escapism.

Our society's need for escapism has always interested me.

Bond was escapism, but not meant to be imitated in real life.

Music is escapism, it's entertainment.

A great book provides escapism for me. The artistry and the creativity in a story are better than any drugs.

I think escapism is really important.

People talk about escapism as though it's something nasty but escapism is wonderful!

I think that you have to bear in mind that music is about escape, and it's not unreasonable to think the music business would be based around escapism.

That idea of escapism... these words could sum up my life.

I've loved the escapism of being another person, slipping into another character for a little while.

I had read tons of science fiction. I was fascinated by other worlds, other environments. For me, it was fantasy, but it was not fantasy in the sense of pure escapism.

Escapism is survival to me.

Fashion should be a form of escapism, and not a form of imprisonment.

Jimi Hendrix's music was escapism.

Music can be a source of escapism.

Though I'd have to say it was generally the guys in Detroit, as a group, that won the two Championships. They were terrific and I always look back very fondly.

It is to the Riddle of the Sphinx that I have devoted fifty years of professional life as an anthropologist.

It was my effort, in depicting the West, to depict it as it was.

You can't soar like an eagle and crap like a canary.

My father raised me from the time I was 12 years old. And it would never occur to me that I wouldn't be strong - I wasn't raised like that.

I just realized quite early on that I'm not going to be the type who can write a novel every two years. I think you need to feel an urgency about the act. Otherwise, when you read it, you feel no urgency, either. So I don't write unless I really feel I need to, and that's a luxury.

We ought to affirm the fact that hundreds of thousands if not millions of Iranians are risking their liberty and even perhaps their lives to take a stand for the values upon which we have really founded this nation.
