“I remain on SVU because it is an incredible opportunity.”

As an actor, I have casting issues. I’m a minority. I don’t have trouble making a living, but as far as being on the food chain of the pecking order of actors, I’m not at the top of it. With the jobs that I do, there are always control issues with directors and producers.

I have a hard time watching films and not thinking how I would play any part, whether its a man or a woman.

[My kitten’s] gambols are not to be described, and would be incredible, if they could.

I am driven by great work and seeing people do incredible things and having a part in that.

GaGa is one of my favourites. Her voice is incredible and she’s fearless and she’s ahead of the game. She’s ahead of the entire game, and I admire that.

It will be proved that it extends everywhere, most fluid and simple, and nowhere presents obstacles as was formerly held, the circuits of the Planets being wholly free and without the labour and whirling round of any real spheres at all, being divinely governed under a given law.

Towards midnight the rain ceased and the clouds drifted away, so that the sky was scattered once more with the incredible lamps of stars.

I think baking is an incredible thing; cooking in general is an incredible thing.

No I changed my mind. I’ll go up on the other side.’ He’s just incredible.

You need an incredible amount of self-confidence to go digging around in someone’s brain.
