I am happy as happiness goes for a woman who has so many memories and who lives the lonely life of an actress.

I never wanted to become an actress because I'd read great literature or seen great Shakespeare. It was more just wanting to understand what the people were really like why they said all the strange things they did.

Show me a great actor and I'll show you a lousy husband. Show me a great actress and you've seen the devil.

I once wanted to prove myself by being a great actress. Now I want to prove that I'm a person. Then maybe I'll be a great actress.

I don't know where I'm going to be in three years. Because I have the feeling that the future is so full of possibilities to stop being an actress to do something else... for me the future is just a huge bunch of discoveries.

The last person they expected to connect with a screenplay was the comedic blonde actress with the funny voice.

I think it's actually a misperception that I am a comedic actress. I do more drama than comedy but very little of it has been seen. When you are in big funny movies and they do well and your little part in it kind of explodes people perceive you as a comedian.

I have an older sister named Haley and she wanted to be an actress. So I wanted to be an actress. It's really funny the way that some people don't give kids enough credit for like really being driven and really wanting to do things so badly.

My mother was against me being an actress - until I introduced her to Frank Sinatra.

The impetus behind going to graduate school was a year after graduating from college spent in Dallas working at the dog food factory and Bank America and not having met success in my chosen field which at that point was being an actress.
