I'll see a celadon green room in an 18th century New Hampshire house and just fall in love. Colors stay in my head.

Why is it men are permitted to be obsessed about their work, but women are only permitted to be obsessed about men?

I must have got my detailed, obsessive streak from my father, who was an English teacher, because my mother wasn't like me at all.

I hated singing. I wanted to be an actress. But I don't think I'd have made it any other way.

I can take any truth; just don't lie to me.
