You are only as pretty as you are nice and smart.
I just felt as though I would never be happy again, and as if I had fallen into a big black hole.
Have faith in your own thoughts.
At Princeton I gained a great deal of pleasure from success in my classes. knowing that I could accomplish those things, and I realized that my success was directly proportionate to the work I put in.
I could never, ever have an abortion.
I have a place in the Broadway community that can only be earned.
People say, 'I love my wrinkles.' I don't love my wrinkles - come on!
I'm just starting to realize the type of work that I want to do. Not everyone can fit into the sitcom world because it's so fast-paced, but it feels comfortable to me.
I've never been naturally fashion conscious. I'm the kind of person who sees a whole outfit in a magazine, runs out and buys it but looks like a clown.
Depression is so smart - it uses all your references and patterns.
I look back at myself, this innocent person, and I think, 'Gosh, she's okay.' I handled a lot, and I'm still here.
I'm a hands-on mum and I'm lucky to be able to be that. I can remember the things my mum used to do with me and that time together is so important.
I have always liked lionesses. Female lions have always seemed like the best. They were really strong and took care of their babies and are beautiful.
