I know I'm funny, because I'm eccentric, I'm odd. I'm not what you expect.

I almost never go to the theatre without seeing someone I've taught or known at Juilliard.

I think of myself as only being an actress when I'm acting, but my friends will say I act all the time.

What people don't understand about Sarah Palin is that she is a rancher's wife. From Alberta down to Texas I've known women like that: good common sense, bright and vilified by city people.

It took me realizing that a broken heart has never actually killed anyone to find the courage to ask for what I want, in just about every situation. That was part of my own growing up.

It is good to be in front of the lens to appreciate more being behind the lens.
