I never wear leather.

I've been in the bargain basement of the movie business.

It didn't rain today, so I didn't have to work. Why don't you have to sit around and wait until it rains?

In the end it's about the work, not an award you get for the work.

Marriage is a financial contract; I have enough contracts already.

They're my favorite two words these days: Oscar reject.

People over 30 are interested in sex too, but they get real movies about it.

Sometimes the only thing we women want is a dick and no arguments. What could make us happier?

I go to bed with men, not boys.

You can talk about movies all you want, but I have this porcelain fetish. I've had it since I was a kid, because there were so many kids in my family, the only place I had any solace was in the bathroom.

I'm convinced my mother only had sex eight times.

As actors, the thing we have to fight, more than even the business part of making movies, is boredom.

Teens aren't just interested in getting laid. I won't believe that's all they're interested in. I have four younger sisters and they're sick of being shown how they're supposed to react in bed.

I don't look at scripts in terms of commerciality. I just look at the part, the people involved.

All I'm thinking about today is cleaning my bathroom.

I never wear leather.

I would love to have children, yes. Maybe even adopt them. I'm not sure that I should pass on my genes.

I would like to do maybe a smaller romantic comedy.

He allowed us to choreograph the sex scenes.

Chazz Palminteri is just the ultimate screen husband.

If I'm not afraid when I'm reading a script, that means I know I've done it before. If I read something and think, Wow, I can't play this part, then I want to play it more.

Sometimes I feel like 'Avenue Q' or even 'Book of Mormon' might not have happened without 'Urinetown.' 'Urinetown' sort of paved the way, just in terms of what Broadway would accept in its houses. It just blows my mind, the stuff 'Book of Mormon' gets away with. It's way farther across the line than 'Urinetown' ever was.

I went through my adolescence having this revelatory experience - I can have any music I want, and I can get it immediately. For me and for a lot of people I know, there's this musical eclecticism that happened.

I thought it's very funny that I ended up as a voiceover guy because when I started out as an actor, I had a very strong Long Island accent.

I failed at the biggest things there are in life. I failed in my health, I failed in my marriage, I failed in everything, and I've picked myself up and gone on.

I think the story is my form.

Today, if you're not an alcoholic, you're nobody.

To myself I am only a child playing on the beach while vast oceans of truth lie undiscovered before me.

I don't believe there can be a poetic novel without political consciousness. I have a strong political conscience.

I believe in manicures. I believe in overdressing. I believe in primping at leisure and wearing lipstick. I believe in pink. I believe happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day, and... I believe in miracles.

If you're old enough to father a child, then you're old enough to accept financial responsibility for that child. If you don't want your embarrassing, unlawful, and irresponsible behavior going viral, man up and pay up.

Step by step and the thing is done.

The great thing about new friends is that they bring new energy to your soul.

As states subsist in part by keeping their weaknesses from being known, so is it the quiet of families to have their chancery and their parliament within doors, and to compose and determine all emergent differences there.

I grew up in a big family. You have to learn to get along with each other... get things done as a family.

Never in a million years did I think the sport of poker would blow up the way it did.

I'm not going to be bullied or pushed around by the group of the day. You've got to have political courage. You've got to have your own inner beliefs.

President Obama still places far too much emphasis on relentless testing with standardized exams.

As a little girl growing up in a small farming town in Michigan, my idols were women like Marlene Dietrich and Rita Hayworth.

Everyone in New York wants to move to London, and everyone in London wants to live in New York. A few people want to live in L.A., but I'll never understand that. It's too much for me.

If you have no fear, no one has power over you.

I think a duet with Janet is a great idea.

That said, my kids are at home right now with my husband and I'm missing something important at my daughter's school which makes me feel sick inside. It's a lot of balance and a lot of really hard decision making.

A boy doesn't have to go to war to be a hero; he can say he doesn't like pie when he sees there isn't enough to go around.

We just recently saw Bruno Mars at the Hollywood Bowl, and he was incredible.
