As the years pass, the more life reaffirms to me that being a strong woman is the right choice.
Curiosity may have killed the cat, but I'm very curious. I always ask tons and tons of questions.
Everyone has a devil and angel on their shoulder, tempting them to do something.
God forgot to give me the jealous bone.
"Happy Feet" is a great story about penguins with a lot of humanity in it, and audiences can follow a species we don't know that well.
Have a sense of humor about life.
I always envisioned her looking like a spindly blonde, but she looked like me.
I always had a wealth of respect for journalists. It actually really blows my mind.
I can play any instrument if you give me 20 minutes.
I consider myself a character actor.
I don't even take myself seriously, so how could I possibly take Hollywood seriously?
I don't talk about relationships in print any more. That's one great thing I learned.
I don't think Hollywood per se is supposed to be taken seriously, otherwise, dear Lord, that would be frightening.
I dont read the script a zillion times, I don't like to analyze things and my mind can go there very easily.
I find this life so interesting.
I just love gaining wisdom, any bit where I can get it. Unfortunately, it takes most of the time.
I think anybody would be lying if they say they didn't try to control something at some point or another.
I think they should take everyone who works for The National Enquirer and the Star, and everyone who works for Us Weekly, and put them all to work looking for terrorists. I think they would find the terrorists. All of them. It would be genius!
I'd like to be very, very, very, very old. With all the technology we're inventing and what they're coming up with scientifically, people are having longer lifetimes.
I'd love to be a man for a day, just to see what it's like.
I'm a Christian. I go to church when I can. I was raised Baptist. I went to a Lutheran school. I'm a nondenominational practicing Christian. I have a lot of faith.
I'm an actor. It's my job.
I'm not a wealth of knowledge. I've had four and a half boyfriends in my life and I've gone on two dates.
I'm really happy with what I'm doing with my life.
I'm tardy sometimes. I would like to be more orderly and timely.
I've always seen myself as one of those 'show people.' My earliest memories are wanting and needing to entertain people, like a gypsy traveler who goes from place to place, city to city, performing for audiences and reaching people.
I've always wanted to be really tall for a day. That's kind of a superficial thing. I'm 5'3", but for one day I'd love to be 5'9" and tower over everybody.
I've been trained in dancing and I used to be quite good, though I am a bit rusty right now. But I could probably brush up in a couple of months.
I've never had to gain weight for a role. Everybody says that's a difficult thing to do, to gain and then lose. But I've never had to go through that.
I've noticed there are alter egos within what I've been writing, so I don't know if it's life affecting art or art affecting life.
If I could be a third of the woman that my mom is and have a third of the strength that she has, then I will have done good by this life.
If I was ever to pursue singing professionally, it would be on my own terms with no creative compromise.
Individuality is vitally important. When people start to lose their individuality, they start to lose themselves.
It's good to play all types of personalities. Embracing individuality is one of the greatest things you can do.
My sense of history is not very good.
Once you're working, you get in the dirt of things. You get your feet dirty - that's part of the job, so no dirt makeup under the nails. It was real.
Singing is such a joy. I was never formally trained in acting or singing. I've been singing since I was born.
Some secrets should remain secrets, but I'm not sure I can think of myself that way.
Sticking to your values, listening to your instincts, making your own choices is so important.
The character I play is purely fictional.
The most joy that I could possibly get in life is being around my eight nieces and nephews and my family.
The older I get, the more I embrace my own idiosyncrasies.
This whole physical comedy thing is far more me than a lot of other roles that I've played before. It's more truly me than the person that my family has to deal with, the klutz idiot.
Tired is not a word in my vocabulary.
Voice work still requires a strong sense of character.
When I was 14 I could have veered off in two different directions and done one or the other, acting or music. I chose acting and continued writing and doing music for myself.
When I was younger, I had a mature-sounding voice, and the things the music companies wanted me to do were not what I wanted to do.
You actually can make it, no matter what. I truly am a firm believer in that. Eminem's living proof.
