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

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.

By disgracing and degrading the presidency of the United States, by fleeing the White House like a diseased cur, Richard Nixon broke the heart of the American Dream.

When governments run on petro dollars or petro revenue instead of taxes, then they kind of sever the link between taxation and representation, and if you're not being taxed, then you're not being represented.

I dont have any tricky plays Id rather have tricky players.

Gossip is sometimes referred to as halitosis of the mind.

And not only that but... when the station is completed, there will be an international crew made of astronauts coming from different cultural experiences, speaking different languages, but working together for a common goal.

I grew up on films.

A scientist who cannot prove what he has accomplished, has accomplished nothing.

I grew up in Brooklyn, N.Y. For part of my life, I was living in Detroit, and I remember a friend of mine commenting she could always tell when I had been speaking to my mother because my New York accent had come back.

If you want to find God, hang out in the space between your thoughts.

I don't try to be somebody I'm not.

My parents started a business out of the living room of our home and, 30-plus years later, it was a multimillion dollar company. So, President Obama, with all due respect, don't tell me that my parents didn't build their business.

Men and women are equally intelligent, but separate factors, such as the abilities to focus, be collaborative and take other people's views into account, allow you to be successful.

Avoiding things that drain you is more important than gaining energy.

I think there's a fear of difference in American cinema.

I've definitely had my share of calls where I just laugh. Someone came to me once and wanted to do a signature Hawk cologne. I was like, 'Of what? Sweaty pads? Am I wringing out my pads into a little perfume bottle?'

In a sense, the music business and I haven't always been the best of bedfellows. Artists often have to fight their corner. Your music goes through these filters of record labels and media, and you're hoping you'll find someone who'll help you get your work into the world.
