The worst is when I talk myself into something. Sometimes you take things because you want to work with a certain actor, or you want to work with a director, even if the script or the part's not that great.

Acceptance and tolerance and forgiveness, those are life-altering lessons.

It's easy to judge, to think we know for certain the right thing to do. Sometimes, it just isn't so clear.

One of the things I love about acting is that it reveals a certain something about yourself, but it doesn't reveal your own personal story.

I take a jazz class and I also take just a regular exercise class with a man who gives me acupressure treatments. It's just stretching and elongating the muscles.

It [military action on Iraq] makes me feel ashamed to come from the United States. It is humiliating.

I do love acting. But to work as a photojournalist would have been extraordinary.
