I do have friends that are Republicans, and we have very spirited conversations on a whole range of issues. I am often baffled by why they are Republicans, but I enjoy the dialogue and can move beyond politics to find common ground in my personal relationships.

The dream - you never achieve it. The excitement of life lies in the hope, in the striving for something rather than the attainment.

I need instant gratification.

You don't ask a man, 'Do you want to be in control [of your job]?' You assume he wants control. Why would a woman be any different?

I arrived in Hollywood without having my nose fixed, my teeth capped, or my name changed. That is very gratifying to me.

You know, I can't remember my good reviews. I remember negative ones. They stay in my mind.

I don't read music. Not even essentially. Not even nonessentially.
