I grew up believing my sister was from the planet Neptune and had been sent down to Earth to kill me.

I love telling stories. I think of myself as a storyteller, and I don't feel bound by being just a singer or an actress. First, I'm a storyteller, and history is stories - the most compelling stories. There is a lot you can find out about yourself through knowing about history. I have always been attracted to things that are old. I have just always found such things interesting and compelling.

I’m just being myself. There is not an ounce of me that believes any of that crap that they say. We can’t be feminine and be feminists and be successful? I want to be a f-king feminist and wear a f-king Peter Pan collar. So f-king what?

I don't know how to explain how, probably to my detriment, unselfpromoting I am. I used to have a cabaret act and I didn't even like to tell me people about that. I really hate selling myself.

Love is individual to each person and I don’t think you can define it before experiencing it because it isn’t going to be the same for everybody.

If I were to work with my mom, I probably would not want her to play my mom. That would get too real.

I finally figured out how to read origami directions.
