I've had a lot of fear in my life, from fear of flying to fear of making a speech in front of a lot of people.

You can't give up! If you give up, you're like everybody else.

I love hiking in the mountains in Aspen. Breathing the clean, fresh air is great. Plus, it gives me a cardiovascular workout and firms my legs.

I didn't want to be famous. I just wanted to earn enough money to have a nice life and enjoy acting.

Fiction is the thing I esteem most in my own work; I feel that, even if it's no good, only I could have written those books.

It's good to like yourself, and that only comes from hard work, from doing. But vanity is dangerous; it can trip you badly.
