I’ve never had my heart broken.

Sometimes you trust someone who turns out not to be honest. There are a lot of things that happen in life that don’t turn out the way you’re given the impression that they will. And...

I have always been interested in politics. I was in the student union before, very active.

I never know how much of what I say is true.

I might not agree with myself in a year.

And for anyone who ever thought that Ellen and I broke it off because of sexuality, you couldn’t be more mistaken. And for anyone who thought my mother’s prayers had anything to do with me...

When we had the infamous mealtime scenes, food fights would inevitably develop.

I swear I want to be a food model.

I dress for women and I undress for men.

There’s no magazine you open, unless its AARP, that shows a woman over the age of 45 in any other light, other than having to buy Depends or Viagra.

Lenny Bruce is a very moral man trying to improve the world and trying to make audiences think.

We share responsibility. It’s important to have a good spouse; that’s where I sympathize with single parents.

Like going to my favorite restaurant, it can sometimes get hard. I just can’t go to the mall.

I don’t go to places where I’m going to get mobbed.

All these horror movies are slasher film now. I like them, they’re fun, but they wink at the audience and you’re really not terrified through the movie.

He was just trying to tease me-I knew that later-but he said he’d have to leave because it wasn’t fair to have anyone in the room who was going to make fun of what he...

I would rather be loved by somebody who respected me.

One of the networks sent me a TV set to watch. I didn’t care for the medium. It depressed me.

You are at the mercies of the dailies. With an indie you don’t have that.

Brian really kicked back on his own when Amanda was a baby. We had a long talk about it, and he was spending a lot of time in California working there and he didn’t really...

When you can’t remember why you’re hurt, that’s when you’re healed.

My husband travels a lot with his job, so we have a lot of frequent flyer miles so we can hop on a plane with no notice. That’s a nice luxury and he is very...

The only way I can be there and really get into the character is if I’m her.

I needed to be accepted, not humored. I intended to act.

When I met Jack Kennedy, he was a serious young man with a dream. He was not a womanizer, not as I understood the term.

If only I could find a guy who wasn’t in his 70s to talk to me about white cranes, I’d be madly in love.

I have a healthy body, free of the chemicals that once controlled it.

The world fell apart. Sirhan Sirhan shot Bobby Kennedy. Why were people shooting all the Kennedys? Had the country gone mad?

I make a good living and I’ve never looked at myself as being an artiste.

In 1962 I was diagnosed with this incurable disease.

We wanted to do a woman on a reality show because that’s what’s happening right now-it’s part of our culture.

My vintage Levi’s are my favorite on the show, ’cause they really fit.

I made a movie where I played a girl that just got out of prison and we shot it very very quickly but very intensely-that took me a long time to get over.

You can’t start worrying about what’s going to happen. You get spastic enough worrying about what’s happening now.

Like, to do a pilot, you don’t know what’s going to happen with it.

No, no, no. Your accent is so beautiful.

I’ve played a heroin addict and a speed freak and dark characters throughout my career.

I have too much respect for the characters I play to make them anything but as real as they can possibly be. I have a great deal of respect for all of them, otherwise I...

But Angela had at least 30% more viewers on the same night at the same time. I mean, she wiped everybody out. But the sponsors don’t care when she had the most people. They only...

You have so much to share, you have so much to tell, you have so much you want to expose, so much that’s inside that you’ve learned from that life period. There are really very...

Weird people follow you in the streets, you can’t sit alone in a restaurant or a cafe and read a book in peace, and I think everybody values those moments of being alone.

I’m sort of a slob.

My mother was there every day of the production. You know what? My mother and I are so close, she really understands the fact that I am 18 and I am maturing. I guess I...

I just let the character speak to me and things appear.

When I first saw myself in American Pie, I cringed. I hate the way I look here, the way I sound there, but that’s because I’m my own worst critic.

One of the themes of Butterfly is incest. Before now, I don’t think people could deal with the subject. Now that there have been exposes in major magazines and on television shows, and several films,...

The idea is that they wouldn’t want to deal with militant Islam but an Islam and Muslims who are committed to progress, committed to development, who like peace and are moderate in their ways. So...

I have never experienced racism in the feminist movement, so it concerned me to think that I was unable to see the subject clearly because I came from white, middle-class privilege.

I can’t change the world. I have to fix me.
