I've been a weirdo since I was a kid.

It always surprised me that I was getting acting work.

I hadn't even watched '24' before, and the audition was kind of far away. When I got the material, there wasn't a character yet, so it almost seemed like an assistant to Jack Bauer saying, 'Yes, sir. No, sir.'

Chloe is really just like an exaggerated aspect of myself.

I told my agents that I didn't want to go on the audition. But as that was happening I called my mom, who has been watching the show from the beginning, and my mom said, 'It's the coolest show. You have to go.'

I read a fan bulletin board once, and somebody said I had a face like a potato, so I never went back on there.

The more I get to do this character, the more I realize that she's not just annoying. It's that her strength is not interacting with people socially. She just doesn't have time because she has so much going on in her brain.

'24' is a pretty serious show - there isn't a lot of improv that is happening. Having said that, I do play around with the delivery. A lot of the humor comes from playing a character who is very furious and really up in her own brain and in a serious situation. That is humorous to me.

'24' is not an anti-government show, really. We've always relied on Jack to fight for the greater good in his own way, and at times, '24' is very patriotic. For me personally, I definitely pay attention to things in a different way.

I always love performing live, and that's what I was doing that started getting me acting parts, so I still find time do it.

I don't like magic.

I got into acting to avoid politics of any sort so I could remain in a fantasy world.

I had fun doing a lot of low-budget movies and web series. And I got back into stand-up where I started.

I have to paint at least two times a week, and there's not enough time in the day to do everything.

I like America. I think it's pretty cool.

I need to see where I am physically and practicing with NHL players is the best way to find that out.

I personally have a background of many days on end of confusion, understimulation, overstimulation, and uncomfortableness with the world around me.

I went to art school for fine art and then I started doing performance art, and then I started making fun of performance art, and it turned into comedy.

I'm doing stand-up comedy. I'm working on a one-woman show about how I don't like my baby. There is a period of time where a baby is born where the next 3 months is harrowing. A lot of people say it's the most wonderful time, but for me it was harrowing.

I'm not married and I don't think that's going to work out for me. I'm not even bitter, I'm just exhausted.

My stand-up has always been very character-based. I'm not really the kind of person that's like, 'Hey, here's what's on my mind! Tip your waitress!' I would create the jokes based on the character I was playing. It was always a performance-based thing for me.

The really cool challenge of '24' was learning on camera how to be a dramatic actress. The biggest difficulty was the industry side of things. I was very lucky that I had Joel Surnow, one of the creators of '24,' in my corner. Early on, the Fox executives couldn't believe that I was on the show.

To really be on stage and not know what you're going to say, and to be able to say something that makes people laugh, or do something that's sort of abstract or off the beaten path and have people connect to it by just putting your ideas together, that really makes me happy.

When you go to auditions, pretend you already have the job and you're just presenting - almost like you're at the table read. Don't go in with an air of, 'Please like me,' or, 'Please hire me.' You're like, 'Here's my take on it. Take it or leave it. I've got a lot of other things to do today.'

I can play the air guitar really, really well.

I've been doing musicals since forever. Actually, I was focused on singing and becoming a singer until I landed on 'Passions.'

Western civilization shapes the content of my films, provides me with subjects that haven't been used before.

I like to make money; I like to have nice things. But I love to act; I love to tell stories.

If you can make a living doing what you love, that is a blessing.

I'm the least sexy person in real life.

I've done both theatre and film and the fact is if you start believing, if you start reading things and they're good reviews - you believe that and you're lost, and then you read bad reviews and you think that's true and you read that and you're lost.

I don't go out that often. I'm not going to clubs or anything.

I read just endlessly, ceaselessly, almost every book, it seems!

I like to challenge myself not to be negative, because it's easy to take comedy to a negative place and criticize the outside world. Trying to praise something through comedy or be appreciative and making jokes about it is more challenging than cutting things down.

If you copy, it means you're working without any real feeling. No two people on earth are alike, and it's got to be that way in music or it isn't music.

Any horror element is as much psychological as special effects.

Most recently, I learned another hobby: baking. It's so much fun to mix all the ingredients and to see the cake come out nice. It's so rewarding when the cake comes out great and tastes great.

Our program for American GIs can be heard at 1630 hours.

The good thing about feature films is that the budgets tend to scale.

Anger elicits anger, fear elicits fear, no matter how well meaning we may be.

Thankfully I'm not endlessly ambitious, but I have done some crazy ambitious things like buying an island off the west coast of Scotland in the late Sixties.

Nurture your mind with great thoughts. To believe in the heroic makes heroes.

There are just certain things that turn my head. It may be a girl's sense of humor, it may be her wit, or her belief system; it could be a lot of different things.

I wanted to be a football player. Football is a sport that I love, but the more I started playing basketball, the more I started dreaming of playing in the NBA.

Beauty is the promise of happiness.

Everyone in China knows The Topics. The television stations and newspapers run the same state-generated stories all across the country, and the Chinese form their opinions based on these somewhat controlled sources.

My dad's a Republican. My dad's my mentor. When I was 18 or whatever it was and I decided to register to vote. My dad's Republican, so that's what I decided to register as.
