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.

When something happens, I always check myself and know it's going to go away. So be prepared for it. This is a tough business for actors who are sensitive. If you try to hold on to things, you'll go crazy.

Every time you fail, you learn more.

I don't really drink, and I've never been to a rave. I used to cut school to read Shakespeare, not to make out in the park.

Someone doesn't think immediately, "I want to be a lobbyist."

It takes me a long time to make a big purchase...
