“I would love to do anything from a really gritty, interesting, indie type film, to that commercial, bigger stuff.”

My parents always told me if I believed something was wrong, I should try to fix it.

You have to take care of yourself so you can manage the workload of a very, very full plate.

My mother was a free-spirited clinical therapist, and I had the most hard-working father, a television lighting director by trade. My mum raised me to be a global citizen, with eyes open to sometimes harsh realities.

I grew up with that farm-to-table dining before it was sweeping the nation. I do think there’s some value to really throwing yourself into food and embracing where it comes from.

Once you develop a comfort level with someone, that translates on camera.

I never want to lose touch with reality. I won’t push $100 candles just because. I realized that I could create a hub of positivity and affirmation.

I think the biggest part of being a girl boss in the office, at home, or anywhere you go is just knowing your value.

I’m really big on day dates. If you go for a stroll, have a picnic or lunch with a glass of wine – it doesn’t get better than that.

Catty is not cool. I can’t think of anything less becoming than a man who talks about people behind their backs.

I was not a girl who grew up buying $100 candles. I was the girl who ran out of gas on her way to an audition.

If you have an Ina Garten-level roasted-chicken recipe, it’s a game changer. I bring that to dinner parties and make a lot of friends.

I love connecting with the fan base and sharing my experiences.

It was the late ’70s when my parents met. My dad was a lighting director for a soap opera, and my mom was a temp at the studio. They moved into a house in The Valley in L.A., to a neighborhood that was leafy and affordable.

Food makes travel so exceptional, because you get to taste what it’s actually supposed to taste like. To eat the real Pad Thai or finally have a proper curry is something pretty amazing.

While my life shifts from refugee camps to red carpets, I choose them both because these worlds can, in fact, coexist. And for me, they must.

I’m an actress, a writer, the editor-in-chief of my lifestyle brand ‘The Tig’, a pretty good cook, and a firm believer in handwritten notes.

The causes of events are ever more interesting than the events themselves.

She had just enough madness to make her interesting.

Every birth has its significant lifetime miracles. We are supposed to forget all but we are also supposed to remember again. The veil of oblivion exists to make it more interesting to discover ourselves again.

Of all things, I do like a Conspiracy! It’s so interesting!

I think 2-D animation disappeared from Disney because they made so many uninteresting films.

Man is more interesting than men. God made him and not them in his image. Each one is more precious than all.

It’s more interesting for me to figure out how to be superior in areas where I’m naive, where I’m a novice.

Give me something interesting to play and I’m happy.
