“We live in a world where losing your phone is more dramatic than losing your virginity”

I like reading books that provide you with knowledge that you previously didn’t have. And books you have a chance to grow as a human being after reading them.

My biggest regret is that I’ve assisted the media in making me into a cartoon character. I don’t regret what has happened to me, but I regret the way I have dealt with it.

It’s an immense amount of pressure, celebrity itself.

I would really love to go on an archaeological dig.

Don’t let loneliness drive you back into the arms of someone who doesn’t give a damn about you.

I have to feel like I’m in control of my body.

I could go days, weeks, without talking to another human being.

And you know, the people who hate kids and don’t want kids always end up having 50 of them.

I would like to uncover the secrets of the universe.

I married my husband who is thirteen years older, so I will always be a trophy wife for him.

I am not just sitting and reading everything because honestly sometimes the scripts that appeal to me are projects that are not good projects, but I just really like the script or the characters.

I haven’t gone completely insane, but it might happen soon.

Even when I’m trying to be straightforward and honest and my comments are innocent, inevitably they get turned into something sort of salacious.

There are the people who really, really enjoy being celebrities, and then there are the people who came by it maybe by accident.

Sarcasm doesn’t translate in print at all.

I try to live with the idea that karma is a very real thing. So I put out what I want to get back.

There’s nothing like a good conservatory drama school to really get you ready for the work force.

I don’t remember a drama on TV that had shown a couple could be married but still love each other very much, spend every day as if they were still on their honeymoon, be sensuous, and have fun together.

I grew up in the theatre. It’s where I got my start. Writing a television drama with theatrical dialogue about the theatre is beyond perfection.

Film music should have the same relationship to the film drama that somebody’s piano playing in my living room has on the book I am reading.

I’d like to do more family dramas.

The worst hatred is that of relatives.

Be assured those will be thy worst enemies, not to whom thou hast done evil, but who have done evil to thee. And those will be thy best friends, not to whom thou hast done good, but who have done good to thee.

Man is lyrical, woman epic, marriage dramatic.
