“For me, the sexiest men don't know they're sexy.”

“I love to go to the movies and I love to watch movies.”

“I think a lot of times it's not money that's the primary motivation for choosing a job - it's the professional growth.”

“I was a professional dancer before I was an actress, and I'm a lifelong student.”

“I grew up in a very small town where it was tough to dream big.”

“My approach to acting is the same now, when I'm 51, as it was when I was 17. It's about the curiosity of what it is to be human.”

“I think that we all have a story to tell, and I think that all of our stories are important.”

“I am really interested in the human mind and the human condition.”

“I really respond to diversity, so I love maids, and I love glamazons.”

“As an actor, you're always trying to find a new way to express something.”

“I think that the best thing that I can be is a good human being, and if I'm a good human being, then I'll be a good actress.”

“You cannot be a good writer without being a good reader.”

“I think it's important to be able to laugh at yourself.”

“I'm always looking for a story that's about a human being. I don't care about the genre.”
