I'm more of a jeans and T-shirt kind of girl.

Why is partying and having a good time bad?

I'm not perfect, I do drink. I do smoke. Carson Daly can't go out and get messed up, he can't smoke in front of kids - he's the face of MTV, and he has to be good. But me? I can.

I can make a scene that's not supposed to be sexy, very sexy. It's a power you're born with. It's not a physical thing, it comes from inside. It's all in the eyes.

I just couldn't live without dogs.

I just started making Bloody Marys. I always thought they looked gross, then I tasted one. There's an art to it, from the Tabasco to the Worcestershire.

I'm more of a jeans and T-shirt kind of girl.

I admire a lot of actors; I think a lot of them have so much talent.

I have a lot of friends who are infected with HIV, and you wanna protect them... To increase the awareness of it and to find a cure for it, the human lives we would save would be a really awesome thing. You just have to involve yourself as much as you can.

I like a guy who uses his hips when he's dancing.

I like when a guy makes me feel like a woman and a little girl at the same time.

I love horror movies. I mean, who doesn't like a good horror movie every once in a while? It's fun to get scared.

I would love to work with Anthony Hopkins; I would love to work with Meryl Streep; I would love to work with DeNiro; I would love to work with Johnny Depp; I'd love to work with Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Gwyneth Paltrow... I think she's amazing.

I've done a lot of serious roles, but they're, like, independent, so it's harder for them to come out. The big ones have been comedies, but I would love to get a big drama to let people see the other side of me, that I am a serious actress.

It would be the ultimate dream for me to win an Academy Award, be in love and have kids. Then I would say, 'Life is great! I have done everything I wanted.'

Once you get to know me, you would know in a second that I am an East Coast girl. You can tell because I'm not flaky, and I will tell you how it is. I also walk faster than they walk in L.A.

People think I am America's party girl, which is just stupid. I have done 24 movies and I am creating my own TV show.

The next step in my life is hopefully meeting a nice guy and getting married.

God made woman beautiful and foolish beautiful that man might love her and foolish that she might love him.

Theres nothing like biting off more than you can chew and then chewing anyway.

In an upside down world, with all the rules being rewritten as the game goes on and spectators invading the pitch, it is good to feel that some things and some people seem to stay just as they were.

And when you start talking about the practicality of winning a race like that - you've got to remember we're not talking about winning 51 percent of the vote. We're talking about winning 36, 37, 38 percent of the vote.

I was in a band called the valentines and they broke up last week.

When I retired from my music November 1997, it had been 37 years.

I was first published as a paranormal author back in the early 1990s. I was one of the founders of that original wave of paranormal and am the leader of the new wave of paranormal that started at the beginning of this century.

As much as possible, I'd like every role to be totally different from the one before.

Everything we do, even the slightest thing we do, can have a ripple effect and repercussions that emanate. If you throw a pebble into the water on one side of the ocean, it can create a tidal wave on the other side.

There is lots of evidence that it is this fear of going into debt that most puts people from poorer backgrounds off going to university.

Risk is at the heart of jazz. Every note we play is a risk.

Love at the lips was touch as sweet as I could bear.

Beautiful isle of the sea, Smile on the brow of the waters.

Courage is a special kind of knowledge: the knowledge of how to fear what ought to be feared and how not to fear what ought no to be feared.

I was raised an Episcopalian. And I did not and I don't believe that anyone is looking out for me personally.

In some ways, I always thought you're better off behaving like a rock star when you're a normal person. Because if you do it as a rock star, you'll end up in the papers and your life will be made a misery.

I want to get into movies, not just TV series.

If you are afraid of failure you don’t deserve to be successful!

I just always loved to perform and I was lucky enough to be in front of the right people at the right time!

I think with any movie, the more you know, it loses some of its power.

Being a pedestrian again is very exciting because in L.A. you live in your car, and you're on a freeway all the time.

When your country is in a costly war, with our soldiers sacrificing abroad and our nation facing a debt crisis at home, being asked to pay your fair share isn't class warfare - it's patriotism.

My parents encouraged thought. You'll get through life better if you learn how to think.

It's weird to be recognised anywhere. The cost of living your dream, acting, is being recognised.

Before we can talk about a championship, we have to practice like a championship team.
