I flew back and forth and did episodes of Roseanne while I was at Yale.

But I just wonder what it would be like to be able to go places without people recognizing me.

You know what you are best at, and writing is just not my thing, but I like it.

I'm super shy, especially at parties.

I pretty much only write by default, because I want to make certain projects so instead of trying to wait and find them, I create them, but I'm not really a writer.

I like that kind of frantic schedule. It makes me feel like I have a purpose.

I like going to New York. I like the galleries and the theatre and the restaurants and bars and music. I think that city is more alive than Los Angeles.

Yeah, I started when I was 6 years old. My brother and sister would get all of these presents at Christmas time from the cast and crew of their show and I was jealous. So I decided that I had to become an actor.

I am pretty much a sucker any really bad reality television.

I flew back and forth and did episodes of Roseanne while I was at Yale.

A good place to start initially would be school plays.

Especially when you play a character for so many years, the character ends up reflecting a lot of who you are and I think I've changed a lot since then, but that represented a lot of who I was as a teenager.

No, I feel like my personality probably influenced the character, more than the character influenced me.

I'd like to do more stuff with less sarcasm.

I'd just love to have an audience and it's the most fun in the world to get a new script every week and have the audience come in, and work with those actors.

I do like to hang out in the corner and keep my eye on the party, or be outside in a smaller group.

The best thing about being an actress is getting good concert tickets.

My twin in the show is Molly Stanton who is so sweet and great and she is totally different from me.

I am ashamed to admit I watch a lot of reality shows like The Osbournes and The Bachelor.

I feel like there is just as much violent programming in other countries and there is not the same incidence of factors. I think there are other factors contributing to violence in this country and not the media.

I think I really see myself doing TV more than ever.

I became a vegetarian at age 13 because I was into animal issues and felt like it was kinder not to eat animals.

I think people sometimes get stressed out when they have a newborn and an infant. Try to enjoy it because the time is so fleeting, and soon enough, they'll be running around and be more independent. You're going to miss that time.

I was such a private person before I started 'The Talk.' I don't know what happened! It almost feels like I've started a second life. In my previous lifetime, I didn't talk about stuff. Now I'll discuss anything. It's crazy!

Respect your kids. They are their own people. I think sometimes we expect kids to be perfect when we're not perfect.

You can't be a perfect environmentalist unless you're Ed Begley, Jr., whom I once saw on TV using a bicycle to power his toaster. He's amazing.

You want to keep the severity of our environmental problems in mind enough to keep yourself motivated but not enough to paralyze you into depression.

I think writers need windows on a view to remind them that a whole world is out there, not the minutiae with which they might be dealing on a close scale.

I'm interested in creating a little sound world for songs, really crafting it, building it, and making it like a little doll's house with little things inside it, staircases and rooms and everything kind of relates to everything else. I've never seen it as drums, bass, guitar and vocals in very separate spaces.

No one can escape the grave.

Spiritual formation is for everyone. Just as there is an 'outer you' that is being formed and shaped all the time, like it or not, by accident or on purpose, so there is an 'inner you.' You have a spirit. And it's constantly being shaped and tugged at: by what you hear and watch and say and read and think and experience.

I always knew I'd be an actor. I always knew I'd at least be on a big screen somewhere.

I think economics - and this is what I've tried to impart - has a tremendous amount of human interest in it.

As sustainability becomes more and more of a concern, we're going to see more plastics.

He whose wisdom cannot help him, gets no good from being wise.

My drama instructor suggested I try comedy. I was resistant at first because I considered myself a serious actor, but of course I fell in love with it.

When I had cancer, people were surprised at how cheerful and upbeat I was, but I couldn't let myself go to depression - to go there, that defeat would allow everything in. If you look too far into the abyss, you might never come out again. You can stand on the abyss and peep but not give in to sadness.

I have survivor's curiosity, I guess.

People are going to go where they get characters that they remember.

I did this little movie I really love called 'Experimenter,' but that took six years to get made and no money.

Yieldedness is vital in listening to what He has to say.

The greatest victory for man is not that his dreams were fulfilled but it is that to stand upright even when none of his dreams were fulfilled!.

I'm hopeful that we'll be able to study the ocean before we destroy it.

We dont have the luxury of time. We spend more because of how we live but its important to be with our family and friends.

So I remember both medicine, because I frequently sick, particularly with asthma for which there was no proper treatment then, and in religion I had a strong sense of there being a patriarchy.

Nobody makes me laugh like my wife.

My parents taught me how to listen to everybody before I made up my own mind. When you listen, you learn. You absorb like a sponge-and your life becomes so much better than when you are just trying to be listened to all the time.

My belief is, you know, certain things have to be explained that's never been explained.

My history is to find the next big thing early.
