I believe that luck is opportunity meeting preparation.

Different things work for different people. One thing I've realized, though, is that the work that I've done on myself outside of my work as an actress has really allowed me to open up my mind. I think I understand my emotional state and my complexities now in a much clearer way, and I can put them to rest in a way that there's almost a catharsis that happens through the work, where I can do it and then find myself again.

It's important for people to figure out their own lives before involving someone else - to gauge where you are and work on your own issues.

There is nothing strange, creepy, or inappropriate about John Travolta .

There are people in America who are absolutely desperate right now, who have no means to support their families, who have no opportunities to better themselves or their education - and they're not that different from the farmers and working-class people that I visited when I went to Kenya with Oxfam.

I'm all about fashion, cheeseburgers and bright-red lipstick.

I love musicals, I started acting because I wanted to be in a musical.
