“The rule is you have to dance a little bit in the morning before you leave the house because it changes the way you walk out in the world.”
“I’ve learned that success comes in a very prickly package. Whether you choose to accept it or not is up to you. It’s what you choose to do with it, the people you choose to surround yourself with. Always choose people that are better than you. Always choose people that challenge you and are smarter than you. Always be the student. Once you find yourself to be the teacher, you’ve lost it.”
“I realized that conforming didn’t accomplish anything. Do your own thing. As long as you learn that, you’re cool.”

“We all grow into the beautiful person that we’re supposed to be, some earlier, some later.”
“True beauty isn’t something that will wash off in the shower at the end of the day. It’s something that’s still there, before you go to bed and wake up in the morning. And, you know, they always say that’s inner beauty, but it is.”
“Every day is amazing, even when it’s awful, because everything is for a reason. I know that this horrible thing that’s happening today is going to bring something so amazing.”
“I haven’t always acted or reacted in a way that made me proud, but I didn’t make that same mistake twice, and I think that’s what I love about adversity is that it always reminds me of what’s really valuable in life.”
“It’s just too much if you make your career everything. It is everything when you’re doing it. But you have to find things you love just as much.”

“I’m always in this shape, that shape, whatever shape you like the most. I am always in various stages of shapes. If the woman needs to be more soft I’ll gain weight and then I’ll lose weight for another film that I did where I wanted her to be more wiry. I enjoy using my body as something that helps me get to a character.”
“When I was a struggling actress in New York in my 20s I worked in a burger joint called Diane’s Uptown. I actually loved waiting tables. I still keep who I was in my mind and never take anything for granted.”
“I was always incredibly driven and found it impossible to relax. I felt that if I slacked off for a minute to enjoy myself, then so many things would be missed.”
“All the knowledge that I have doesn’t necessarily make me brilliant, but I love acquiring knowledge and then sharing it with everybody else.”
“Picking roles, my way of choosing them is vastly different now than it was a long time ago, but I can only be that way now because of what I’ve learned from the past. So I’m choosing now not to choose any work, because when you’ve had such a nice ride – unexpected rides and fulfilling rides – you really don’t want to take a step backwards. It’s really made me satisfied in a way that I wasn’t looking for, but I was blessed with it and now I feel really full, in a good way, where I don’t need to rush out and go find something.”
