A comic can be aesthetically beautiful. I think they captured it beautifully and accurately.

I dig science fiction, though it was never really my thing.

Yancy is actually a Native-American name, but I'm Irish. Go figure.

People just kind of associate me with kicking some ass.

I've always played strong women who are doing their own thing.

My father used to sing to me in my mother's womb. I think I can name about any tune in two beats.

To say I'm the easiest person to live with would be a lie.

I'm just an actress. They try to give me as little information as possible.

I think sometimes women who are supposed to be strong are also written as mean and vindictive.

Whether it goes to series or stands by itself, I'm proud of what we did with it, not only from the standpoint of what it could have been, but for itself.

My taste in music and entertainment is quite eclectic.

My mother's side of the family was in the production side of theatre. My grandfather, Jose Vega, was a general manager for Neil Simon shows on Broadway.

Don't we all just really try to fake it well?

I'm open to sci-fi, but I was never a diehard fan. I have no idea why it keeps following me. I'm extremely lucky, I guess; it's a lucrative venue.

I think seeing some of the past can be helpful, especially if you're into crime solving.

Imagine if it happened to you: All of a sudden you find this thing on your wrist and people are telling you it has powers. I would be a little skeptical myself.

I hope I don't just sit around moping for two years.

Once you get into a part, and someone sees you, you get asked to do it again.

I'll try anything once.

I grew up in Greenwich Village. Dad was friends with John Lennon and Yoko Ono.

I'm the oldest 26-year-old I know. A lot of experience has been crammed into a short amount of time. Some days I feel a good 65, 70. Like I want to lie down.

Women have been kicking ass for centuries.

My junior high was dreadful. I see a lot of my fellow alumni on America's Most Wanted.

My grandfather was a cop in Long Island. I often try to draw on things that I've heard about him.

I pretty much make time for that weekly manicure.

I am so happy to be on a show with writing I wanted to participate in.

I love old movies. The '40s theatre pace is fantastic.

I had to skydive for the movie and I was terrified. Like everybody, I thought it was going to be one of those experiences that changes your life. It didn't.

I've spent a lot of time and money trying to keep my anger in control.

I never worked less than 16-hour days on South Beach.

I can be extremely vulnerable. People are tough on me because they think I can handle it.

I don't know that I'd necessarily want to see into the future. I don't want to know what's happening next.

A land without ruins is a land without memories -- a land without memories is a land without history.

When you do a studio picture, all the paperwork and legal stuff is already taken care of!

A woman can't be alone. She needs a man. A man and a woman support and strengthen each other. She just can't do it by herself.

Let us remember that within us there is a palace of immense magnificence.

Younger songwriters will ask me, 'What did you do?' And it's like, 'Well, I worked a day job, and I didn't stake anything. I didn't quit my day job. I didn't have any hopes at all. I just did the thing that I believed in, and I waited a long time.'

Getting that audience approval is always a question mark, and it's always that flag that flutters in front of you.

I don't think my parents told me enough how the world doesn't really care about me. I think it's important to tell children that the world doesn't really care about you. You have to fight to be heard.

When I have supped too heavily of an evening, I drink in the morning a large number of cups of coffee, and that as hot as I can drink it, so that the sweat breaks out on me, and if by so doing I can't restore my body, a whole apothecary's shop couldn't do much, and that is the only thing I have done for years when I have felt a fever.

Television and film are such streamlined story mediums. You can't really meander about, whereas a novel is an interior experience.

I've had a lot of highs in my life and a lot of lows, some pivotal experiences, and in ways I feel like I've already lived a couple of lives.

Free access to the single market will be granted to a country which accepts the four fundamental freedoms of movement of people, goods, services, and capital.

I think we all want to know where we came from and how we fit into the world, but some of us need to know how it all works in great detail.

A Rube Goldberg machine is, in its essence, a trial-and-error thing.

As long as I'm a good person and I do things from the heart, that's all that matters.

There's no problem on the planet that can't be solved without violence. That's the lesson of the civil rights movement.

I'm always hoping for the nights that are inspired where you almost have an out of body experience.
