“I did some soul-searching, took a break and decided I was going to live my life only for me.”

My main goal as an actor, with my craft or whatever poncy way you want to say it, is to always take the audience with me.

The most important thing to me is my work, and reaching people through my work.

You can be born with a title, but not respect. You have to earn that.

It’s so important to me. It’s my passion.

I don’t really watch a lot of TV, to be honest. I’m more of a movie girl, or I Netflix stuff.

A bit of a crisis of faith, I suppose.

I want to touch people’s lives, and bring them along with me.

The worst reaction someone can have is, “eh.”

Nobody wants to watch perfect people.

I love it when you like a character, and then she does something you don’t like

Just being an actor is extremely bizarre, but I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Auditioning is extremely bizarre.

And you hate her for a while – then you love her again.

I’d like to see her have unlikable moments that the audience understands and sympathizes with.

To make them feel for me, or to make them hate me, I want a reaction. I want their emotions.

I had a moment a few years ago where I wasn’t sure if I was acting for myself or because people expected it of me.

Sometimes we get caught up in trying to glorify God by praising what He can do and we lose sight of the practical point of what He actually does do.

Every man, however wise, needs the advice of some sagacious friend in the affairs of life.

Therefore there is not anything which returns to nothing, but all things return dissolved into their elements.

If you think about the times in life when you’ve been the most deeply fulfilled, they’re the times that you’ve felt love. Whether it’s watching a sunset, spending time with a pet or being with a partner with whom you feel an intensely deep connection.

O goddess, bestow on my words an immortal charm.

Patriotism is not a short and frenzied outburst of emotion but the tranquil and steady dedication of a lifetime.

Man’s fortune is usually changed at once; life is changeable.

We, peopling the void air, make gods to whom we impute the ills we ought to bear.
