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

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

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

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.

When we started making electronic music I imagined that the reaction we got from the rock musicians must have been similar to the one the beat groups got from people like my dad.

It was tough at the time but when I was younger, my Dad. I would say my Dad, because without him I wouldn't have been here. I mean it was tough for me because he was really demanding. With him, it was never enough, you know, anything I did was never enough.

David and Dad didn't get along too well growing up. I mean we all got along, but it was harder on David, because David wasn't going to be the son that Dad wanted. But now they're like best friends.

Where I come from, you don't really talk about how much you're earning. Those things are private. My dad never told my mum how much he was earning. I'm certainly not going to tell the world. I'm doing well.

I feel lazy when I'm not working. I learned all my business sense from my dad. He always believed in me, and I think the last thing he said to me before he passed away was, 'I know you're gonna be OK. I'm not worried about you'.

And I love Mel Brooks. My Dad loved his movies, too, they're awesome, the kind of thing that if you're in for ten minutes, you're in for two hours.

My mom and dad met at UCLA when he as a captain in the Air Force and she was in her junior year.

My dad was born in Chicago in 1908... his parents came from Russia. They settled in Chicago, where they lived in a little tiny grocery store with eight or nine children - in the backroom all together - and my grandmother got the idea to go into the movie business.

Mom and Dad would stay in bed on Sunday morning, but the kids would have to go to church.

My dad was dean of fine arts at the university. I was casting bronzes in the school foundry. I was using the university as a playground.

I have to remind my dad, 'Journalists - no matter how many cigars they smoke with you - are not your friends, so don't talk to them.'

We came from a family where we ran our own small business. Our dad made his own products. We made our own sausages, our own meatloafs, our own pickles. Dad had to do everything himself. He had to figure out how to finance his business.

My dad was a carpenter and I would work with him during the summer and umpire on the nights I wasn't playing.

It was sort of just a family sport. My mom and dad were pretty keen golfers when I was young and so were my grandparents, and I just sort of tagged along with them.

My dad takes care of me as a manager and as a dad. That's his job, you know, to take care of me. He has my best interests at heart.

My mom and dad are both in stand-up comedy, so that's where I started, that's where I got everything. My roots are holding the mic.
