I continue to be very shy. I think a lot of actors and performers are really weird, shy people working it out onstage. I don't know why that is.

If you get mad about how your voice sounds when it comes out of your own mouth, it's not really my fault. Go ahead and be yourself.

There's always going to be someone who hates you. There's always going to be people who love you. It's a risk in either direction.

When you can agree on one thing, you should have no expectation that suddenly a person is converted to your way of thinking. You have to be willing to be frustrated constantly.

I've been a performer in the public eye for many years now and it's much darker. It feels so worse now. It feels heavy; it's difficult to deal with. The hatred is unbelievable, but I actually feel a lot more compassion for the journalists and people who aren't used to that. At least on some level, it's been a part of my world for a long time, so I can handle it. I'm not going to say that I'm used to it, because I'm not. I think it's really difficult for people who are just doing journalism and receiving death threats on a very consistent basis.

It's great when you have people who will speak passionately and honestly about what they are doing.

It is so expensive to take care of my hair and keep it looking like I was born with it, when my real hair is the color of rat fur.
