“It’s a surreal experience.”

So everyone making sure that I’m OK has turned what could’ve been a very scary, nerve-racking and lonely experience into a supportive environment.

The reason why I found acting is because my father passed away.

She’s been doing Trip to Bountiful for four months, and it still feels real.

At the end of the day, if I can say that I had a career where I was able to play all different kinds of characters and I’m known as someone who is well-respected for my approach to the craft, that would be a beautiful life.

I would come to L.A. for a job, but I love New York.

For everything Obama stands for and the things he’s said in the past in his books, especially with the Trayvon Martin thing

So you do things to make them proud and accept you.

And you don’t want them to look at you in a negative light.

I just find it hard to believe that anyone would stop me to share how much they loved something that I was a part of.

My intention is to do more films.

I had to say something. Kelly’s nomination would go against who President Obama is.

I assume Obama knows about stop and frisk, so this is not the person that should be the head of homeland security.

I was going to go to med school. My father’s dream was that all of his kids become doctors.

You look up to your parents and you want them to accept you,

Life is too short to do something you don’t want to do.

I’m in awe of how grounded Ms. Tyson is and how her performances can be different but the same.

If we’re going to be considered horror filmmakers, we have to prove it not only to ourselves, but to the audience that we can actually make something scary.

“Firewall” seems both scary and protective at the same time. And how often does that happen within one word besides “military” and “government?”

Like, I don’t think I’d go off the road for long now, for life with a guy no matter how good. Yeah, it’s the truth. Scary thing to say though, isn’t it?

We fear violence less than our own feelings. Personal, private, solitary pain is more terrifying than what anyone else can inflict.

[Castellani’s testimony] clearly illustrates the concern we have that there is no way to separate the efforts to proselytize from the efforts to reform people.

We have to confront the very scary fact that the president is a moron. He’s really dumb.

From time to time, people fall apart into pieces. Falling apart is synonymous with falling into places but it sounds scarier to those who don’t know how to be patient.

I am trying my hardest to stay away from the horror movies just because I feel like people are thinking that’s what I do, that I’m a scream queen. I’d like to stay away from that.
