You know, last season I didn't do anything on the show, so I was frustrated. I mean, don't get me wrong: It's nice to get a paycheck. But if you don't really do anything it's not very satisfying.

I was jumping out of my skin. It was horrible. I was all over the place, because I'd never been in front of a live audience. That's a whole other element in the play, the audience.

You know, last season I didn't do anything on the show, so I was frustrated. I mean, don't get me wrong: It's nice to get a paycheck. But if you don't really do anything it's not very satisfying.

Sometimes there's one person in the audience laughing hysterically, and it's so much fun. You end up playing the entire play to them.

I thought I was going to be a lot more freaked out by being naked onstage. I think on film I would have been more freaked out, because film is less forgiving. But onstage it's lit so beautifully. It would make my mother look good.

Everything was coming my way, but I was going down. I was painfully empty.

I am funny. No one else thinks I am funny. But I am funny.

I am the boss of me. You can't change anyone else. Women think they can. But you know what? You can't.

I don't think I am narcissistic. I think I have low self-esteem.

I have no problem with women in the military, if that's what they want to do.

I learned nothing while I was in school.

I never bought a stock in my life. I don't understand it. To me it is like Chinese.

I was dead inside.

I was lucky to live 10 years in France, so I learned how to eat and drink there.

I was so busy fighting and so busy trying to keep everything above water that I didn't realize I was spiraling downward with nowhere to go.

I'd be like, 'You're a young, vibrant woman. Where are you?' I realized that I had been living in denial.

If I am going to get in a cab to go home, and I see a sign for an open house, I will go in. I like real estate because I am the boss.

My family was blue collar, a middle-class kind of thing. My father was born in Detroit, Italian-American. My mother is English. She acted on the stage with Diana Dors. Her parents were French.

The truth in acting is that we are all hired help. We are a commodity. There is no difference between being an actor and pork bellies.

You know, growing up, I lived in a neighborhood in Long Island where there was basically one black family. And I remember hearing all the parents and the kids in the neighborhood say racist things about this family.

A door that seems to stand open must be a mans size or it is not the door that Providence means for him.

Music is almost like a therapy for me. It helps keep me centered and think straight. Before I discovered it, I was walking around, and it felt like there were 25 extra pounds of gravity on my shoulders. It's like you're mute or something.

Prudence is the footprint of Wisdom.

To be really in shape, it's dynamic. It's got to be a lot of different everything, always switching it up. So a good day for me would be hit the gym, do some sort of cross training in the gym and then go surfing and then maybe take a jiu-jitsu class at night or go swimming at night or go stand up paddle boarding in the evening.

I'm a fountain of blood. In the shape of a girl.

What I remember most about junior homecoming was my date getting sick afterwards. That kinda sucked. Then, senior year, someone got gum in her hair when we were dancing. She had to get one of the chaperones to take her to the office and cut up her hair. I felt really bad for her, but it worked out fine.

If one sticks too rigidly to one's principles, one would hardly see anybody.

I know my voice has a limited range of motion; I don't write dramatic monologues and pretend to be other people. But so far, my voice is broad enough to accommodate most of what I want to put into my poetry. I like my persona; I often wish I were him and not me.

If you really want a radio station to play your song, go to that radio station every day with that song in your hand and say, 'Please play it.'

Theyre being good citizens without the right to citizenship.

I have received hostile voice mail messages and e-mails. They are often anonymous, I'm sad to say, as anonymous messages are delivered only by very low forms of human life, in my opinion.

I don't want to see the end of popular print journalism.

If you're really on top, you probably didn't do that great, 'cause you have to water it down a bit for it to get that mass appeal.

Wild waves rise and fall when they arrive and that's what makes the calm sea alive.

By the late 1970s a fashion-concious yet highly irreverent version of 'retro' crept into English, where its meaning remained fluid and vaguely negative; for many it represented a desire to recycle the past in a somewhat exploitative manner.

There are so many different people that I've emulated vocally. In the rock world - Sebastian Bach, Vince Neil, Freddie Mercury, Robert Plant. They all had amazing vocal talent.

I was on 'The O.C.' and had a small part, which wasn't very challenging. I was a bit bored, so I started shadowing directors and they finally gave me a shot. From there, it led to directing other television shows. I am trying to direct a feature film, so we'll see what happens.

I had this sense that I was part of, sort of a lineage of artists and writers through history that have had mood disorders.

I was a shy and insecure kid and didn't know quite where I fit.

People just wanna talk. They wanna create negative things about you and your life and make up things. You can't let them affect you!

It would certainly be interesting to know what the CIA knew about Oswald six weeks before the assassination, but the contents of this particular message never reached the Warren Commission and remain a complete mystery.

The first time you make something follow the recipe then figure out how to tailor it to your own tastes.

One thing that's unique to 'Uncharted' is something called 'chasing picture,' where Naughty Dog run a section of gameplay and I'm allowed to ad-lib over it. We call it 'panning for gold.'

I don't get involved in record label politics.
