“I’m the most uncoordinated clumsy, klutzy person. I always had a bruise, I always tripped and fell.”

We are all human beings, part of the human race, and we need to be compassionate and giving and kind with one another.

I’m really proud of myself because I’ve pared my beauty regimen down to a cream blush and berry-tinted lip balm, which has saved me so much time.

I’ve created a chaotic life, and then I get on edge because of it.

I look back at my twenties and see that I was much less confident.

My mother is a great source of advice and wisdom and consolation for me.

I pride myself on being kind.

I decided I was sick of trying to figure out what everybody else wanted, and I should just decide what I want, and be honest, and not spend all my time guessing.

I still love the theology of the Mormon religion and think it is a wonderful way to grow up.

When I do get pregnant, I highly doubt I’ll be one of those women who don’t look pregnant from behind – I’ll be that chick who looks pregnant from her ankles up!

My worst habit used to be smoking but I quit.

My good friends are Mormon, some of the best people I know.

Obviously my career’s important to me and I’m really, really passionate about trying to keep it.

I haven’t been to rehab, I don’t do anything eccentric – I’m really boring.

I’m not out burning bras, but I’m very opinionated about women owning their power.

I just like to shake things up, and your hair is one way to do it.

I was putting so much time and energy into just my work, but I was raised to believe that family comes first.

I think for me with theater, I need to take a break and then fall in love with it again. And then go do it again.

You have to be able to love yourself because that’s when things fall into place.

Do not be so open-minded that your brains fall out.

My mother pretty much used to go along with my dad in that she wanted me to get an education so that if this incredible dream I had didn’t work out, I would have something to fall back on.

The transfinite numbers are in a sense the new irrationalities they stand or fall with the finite irrational numbers.

Risk the fall to know how it feels to fly.

I’m satisfied and proud of the things I did – even the bumps and the bruises that I’ve had on the way. You fall down, you get up, you brush yourself off and you keep going. And that’s what we’re doing.

When was the first time you fell in love? When I started writing about beautiful things.
