I modeled myself after Deborah Kerr for her romantic, untouched quality; Ingrid Bergman for her strength; and Kay Kendall for her wonderful sense of humor.

I haven't ever seen 'Lost'... I'm sorry.

I'm a character actress, plain and simple... Who can worry about a career? Have a life. Movie stars have careers - actors work, and then they don't work, and then they work again.

I became a minister of the Eucharist when I was 17. My parents aren't very strict Catholics, but for some reason I decided this is what I want to do, and I have kept it up.

The quality of films out there depends on how much responsibility we're willing to take. I try to play women who are positive and heroic.

What we really wanted to call it was 'I Rhoda Book.'

The 'Housewives' has helped me find my voice. I was always a people-pleaser, and coming into a show like this, you end up losing that.

In films and TV, actors get chosen based on their capabilities, charisma and the image they carry.

I've been acting since I was six years old, but not professionally.

I love accents - I wish I could find an accent for every one of my characters. It makes it so much easier when I don't have to hear my own voice.

I had to be different in order to be interesting because audience always wants something fresh and new.

It's a wild thing, that people have the ability to help each other by just relating to one another.

I just want to do some movies that my children and my grandchildren would be proud of. That's my yardstick.

Nepotism exists everywhere.

An ounce of performance is worth pounds of promises.

Young people think that nothing bad will ever happen to them.

We spend so many hours a day - even if we're not physically in the office - working, thinking about work, and planning and setting up and organizing with work, even with our families.

People look to 'Dear White People' as an encyclopedia of our culture. But it's also art, and there are characters with different perspectives.

I don't think that independent or off-beat films are not commercial, nor do I want to categorise them. At the end of the day, what matters is how much you compromise to please the masses. But, I am...

I used to get these as a kid all the time - Doritos, Cheetos, Funions... and Andy Capp's Hot Fries. I have a crunch fetish.

I've played pretty much every single-player RPG there is, has been, ever will be. But as far as the MMOs go, especially with the voice chat, it becomes like hanging out with your friends in a chat...

If you are a 5-year-old, you just go ahead and try something. You don't think about it. You are just a little kid.

I think change is always good.

I'm not a runner. I do not like running. I love to swim. I love to surf. I do not like to run.

I'm in control of my social media, I can shut it off when I want to and when it gets to in my head, and I can interact with the fans when I want to, too.

My dad still collects newspaper clippings about me.

Yes, I faced the camera for the first time for '18th Cross.' It was a great experience for me to be part of a film after working in some television serials.

Men stop trying after a while and get lazy.

I was really into 'Cocktail' when I was younger - probably the most - followed by 'Top Gun.'

Things can change on a daily basis in television. You can be introduced to aspects of your character that you had no idea existed because they didn't exist a week before. The next week it might be...
