Lazy thinking is not creative or productive.

We have to band together, but the thing in America is that people are terrified of losing their jobs... Maybe California needs to secede. The only thing that'll make any difference is the money... Tax dollars and losing that amount of money. It's one of the most economically powerful states, isn't it? That's where it hurts.

Well, I've never looked upon myself as being a beauty, per se.

Mind the gap - it's the distance between life as you dream it and life as it is.

To those who voted for me, thank you. And to those who didn't, better luck next year!

It's interesting when you get those roles, which seem like nothing on the page, and you kind of subvert them. It's hard to say no.

If I had my way, if I was lucky enough, if I could be on the brink my entire life - that great sense of expectation and excitement without the disappointment - that would be the perfect state.
