It's a dream part, running around with guns, being an agent.

I'm determined to be a diva.

My most recent purchase was a black lace corset.

I thought I wanted to be a brain surgeon until I realized all the schooling it required. I didn't like school very much so I had to come up with something else.

My parents used to take me to a lot of theatre when I was young.

The idea of running around and screaming about Jason Voorhees trying to kill you was fun.

It's a dream part, running around with guns, being an agent.

I sit on my duff, smoke cigarettes and watch TV. I'm not exactly a poster girl for healthy living.

It doesn't matter if you're staying at a four-star hotel, you will never have your whole closet with you.

I do see myself going to LA. Not anytime soon.

I had cleavage that would make Dolly Parton proud. But those things are really heavy and I'm pretty slight of frame, so I took them out. No one even noticed.

I toyed with the idea of pursuing a career as a lawyer just because I like to argue.

I was actually a bit disappointed about the amount of sex in the show. I think Backus should get out a bit more, get a relationship, perhaps make her a lesbian.

The idea of taking off my shoes and trying on all these clothes is so exhausting, I just leave.

I like breaking the rules.

The thing about Canada is, you're not really considered a Canadian actor unless you do something with the CBC.

I'm totally on a mission to find my signature scent, but I'm too mercurial.

I'm a perfume whore.

I'm off to save the universe again. It's a tough job but someone has to do it, and I'm glad it's me.

It doesn't take much to make me happy.

I'm so much more of an East Coast girl than a West Coast girl.

Men with style are great because they have a sense of self.

Seppuku is Japanese for ritual suicide. I thought, What a cute name for a coat.

Thank God my parents had an abundance of patience.

I quite enjoy science fiction.

Being stuck in airports, you always end up buying perfume and sunglasses.

My relationships with my loved ones always take precedence over work.

I'm very proud to be Canadian, but I would move to New York in a heartbeat.

I was taken to one place by a director, and he bought me a lap dance.

Thongs don't show. With jeans, you're always going to get panty lines and I think that's just a big mistake.

For the past 10 years, people have been making fun of the eighties. Why are we bringing them back?

I did some artistic nudes when I was I 8 with a French-Canadian photographer while I was modeling. They were beautiful shots, and they were not about nudity.

I can remember the frustration of not being able to talk. I knew what I wanted to say, but I could not get the words out, so I would just scream.

What I try to do for my readers is to pass on some of the things that I found out about being thirteen after doing it for forty years.

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.

Young people discovering their sexuality must know they walk with a strong tradition and that they are not alone. They have a right to information without being pressured.

Being a publicist is like management in a lot of ways - you're their friend, you're their mother, you're their confidante.

I became hooked on the idea of being able to shoot an image and process it myself, and end up with a product.

Being a cover artist is not like being a real artist. That's just copying what someone else did.

It is too maddening. I've got to fly off, right now, to some devilish navy yard, three hours in a seasick steamer, and after being heartily sick, I'll have to speak three times, and then I'll be sick coming home. Still, who would not be sick for England?

I don't like being recognised, I have no interest in being famous at all, I just do what I do. If I could be like Captain Kirk and beam myself up and then beam myself down, I would!

I'm glad I'm not Brezhnev. Being the Russian leader in the Kremlin. You never know if someone's tape recording what you say.

Being a musician is what I do, but it's not what I am.

We're all like children. We may think we grow up, but to me, being grown up is death, stopping thinking, trying to find out things, going on learning.

We've had it very clear to the Bosnians that our obligation to equip and train their forces is completely conditional on the foreign forces being gone.

My parents were amazing people who had no business being together - and they knew it.

Teachers started recognizing me and praising me for being smart in science and that made me want to be even smarter in science!

Sure, I get the blues. But what I try to do, is apply joy to the blues, you know? I don't know if it's a technique, or just being bent that way, being raised by the folks I was raised by.
