I can't even open my eyes underwater.

My grandmother used to say, "Sometimes the loudest person in the room doesn't know what they're talking about." Or isn't secure enough in his or her own views to be able to listen to others.

I didn't understand how much senators and members of the House are not able to represent the people because they're too busy fundraising to maintain their seat in office. I hope we as a country start looking at how we can change that.

I spent a lot of the last five years on a set, and every once in a while you take stock of your life and look at what you're doing.

I think both nature and grace live within everyone, and I always strive to be in a world of grace and compassion.

An actress friend of mine shared a great trick. She told me to stick my tongue behind my teeth when I smile to keep from over-smiling. If you smile without doing it, sometimes your gums show a little too much. It's an actor's trick!

We need more points of view from women and we need more support for female directors and writers in the industry.
