Like everybody I have many different sides.

I don't want to be famous as a movie star and have the whole world love me, I want to be a creative actress.

I collect clothes - they keep building and building. I buy them instead of having them washed.

The bravest thing I ever did was continuing my life when I wanted to die.

As early as when I was five or six I wanted to perform.

Because I'm not perfect looking, I get to play better roles.

I think I can be beautiful with all the little stuff done, and I can be ugly. A lot of attractive actresses can't be ugly.

All that schooling never prepares you for the reality of life.

I don't make an effort to be sloppy. I just don't consider a perfect hairdo and a perfect face to be beautiful. If I had my way I'd dress myself and do my own makeup for magazine shoots.

I knew I could live no other way, that the one thing I wanted was to act and do it well.

Being beautiful can be a curse, especially if you want to be an artist and create.

Fame can be just so annoying because people are so critical of you. You can't just say, 'hi'. You say hi and people whisper' man did you see the way she said hi? What an attitude.

The thing is, I want to play real characters and not all girls can be pretty. The thing is, you get these girls who say 'I'm a character actor' then you see them in a role and nothing has really changed but the outfit.

Success is a nice by-product but what I really want is work.

The worst thing you can do to a kid is tell them that their dreams are invalid.

Like everybody I have many different sides.

I kind of imagine myself at eighty, a cat lady.

Fame can be just so annoying because people are so critical of you. You cant just say hi. You say hi and people whisper man did you see the way she said hi What an attitude.

When you get close to the raw materials and taste them at the moment they let go of the soil, you learn to respect them.

This house I grew up in was built in the 1800s, and the back yard was like a cemetery. Naturally, I grew up in an environment where ghosts and supernatural things were very unnerving to me, because my brothers and I dealt with it on a daily basis.

Realise when you are 'middle aged' you have a chance for a whole second career, another love, another life.

I love food, all types of food. I love Korean food, Japanese, Italian, French. In Australia, we don't have a distinctive Australian food, so we have food from everywhere all around the world. We're very multicultural, so we grew up with lots of different types of food.

You don't have to be one of those people that accepts things as they are. Every day, take responsibility for changing them right where you are.

Hope begins in the dark the stubborn hope that if you just show up and try to do the right thing the dawn will come.

I don't think, until the end, I had read a positive review of Boy Meets World.

If you took ISIS' oil, that would not stop them. It's not their only source of revenue. It would be a setback, but it would not stop them.

I raised two sons, and I know that even though they're bigger and stronger than I am, they're still little boys inside. They still cry, they still hurt. So whenever I write a male character, no matter how 'heroic' he may be, I think of my sons. And I remember that every man was once a little boy.

I love all types of braids. Single, multiple, box braids - I try them all.

It's a tricky place, especially the last sector. I wasn't happy in practice. I wasn't happy with the car and I wasn't happy with myself. But I always thought there was more in the car.

I do worry that it's impossible to write something original, that there's nothing that a human hasn't already thought of. But I can put it out of my mind and get on with what I'm doing.

Meek young men grow up in colleges and believe it is their duty to accept the views which books have given, and grow up slaves.

The egg of every species of animal or plant carries a definite number of bodies called chromosomes. The sperm carries the same number. Consequently, when the sperm unites with the egg, the fertilized egg will contain the double number of chromosomes.

In November you begin to know how long the winter will be.

I'm prepared for Amir Khan moving swiftly - or for whatever style he comes out using. I prepared with sparring, in the style similar to what he uses.

I think there is an awful lot of technology for technology's sake. I have yet to be convinced by my husband that persuading our mobiles to talk to our computers is going to be quicker and more straightforward than scribbling a note in our kitchen diary.

I love nerds. Comic-Con junkies are the tastemakers of tomorrow. Isn't that funny? The tables have turned.

In my 20 years in football, I was fortunate enough never to have experienced relegation. And while there is the pressure of expectations at the top of the league, at the bottom it comes in fear and trepidation, which is almost worse.

Russia is Germany's most important neighbor in the East, and it will remain so.

Fire is our first form of technology.
