I have imbibed such a love for money that I keep some sequins in a drawer to count, and cry over them once a week.
I never stop. I don't want to stop acting because I'm afraid it'll all end, so I never say no.
I didn't understand the reasons why I was there in the Lost episode - the mysteries of the island. I just instead made my own little reality, made it as simple as possible. I figured I was a crazy woman, just a little screw loose. I don't know how I got on that island. No one could tell me how I got there either, so I just assumed I got there on a shipwreck, and I went a little nutty.
Don't ever underestimate the power of mentoring someone, or helping some young actor, doing a favor for them, or introducing- everyone needs somebody to help them along when they're first starting out.
One out of forty American men wears women's clothing. We've had more than forty presidents. One of these guys has been dancing around the Oval Office in a prom dress.
I think one of my big skills is making unlikable characters likable or real in some way. No matter how hateful people are, there's always something vulnerable about them, or something that you can understand or relate to. I think that's my job as an actress - to find those.
One of the things I love about acting is other actors, looking into their eyes, and working off them, and listening and responding to them.
Laugh, and the world laughs with you. Weep, an' it keeps on laughin'.
No philosopher's stone of a constitution can produce golden conduct from leaden instincts.
Our stories can set us free. When we set them free.
Wherever you are, whatever your circumstances may be, whatever misfortune you may have suffered, the music of your life has not gone. It's inside you - if you listen to it, you can play it.
