I've always been, with acting, very hesitant to get myself into situations where I would be accused of nepotism.
Nepotism has always existed in Bollywood.
I had always been the theater nerd at Northwestern University. I knew I wanted to do acting, but I hated the idea of being this cliche - a girl from L.A. who decides to be an actress.
I'm someone who loves romance. I always have loved it. Most people who grew up as nerds, as I was, surprisingly, have loved romance.
The description of my character in the first few movies I did was always 'nerdy,' but I liked that; it was way more interesting.
I've been nervous a number of times. Your first start. Playing in the Super Bowl. Your first Super Bowl. Very nerve-racking. The one thing that you can always fall back on is that you know what you are doing. You know how to play the game.
I always got nervous the nights we played in the World Series. First pitch, I was nervous. Then after that, forget it; I'd start playing.
I used to get so nervous and upset at stuff... I'd always be angry.
I'm so nervous. I've always been nervous, ever since I was a kid.
I stress, worry, get nervous and I start to over-think about a lot of things, but I think a little bit of doubt and nervousness always keeps me on my feet.
I want my opponents to look at me across the net and just not want to play me because I look so fit and amazing and strong. So that's always my goal.
I'd always thought that 'NYPD Blue' really would open those doors. While I think it created a much broader template for cable, I don't think it really did that much for network television.
I always was irritated doing network television... You're in love, you make love. That happens.
By staying neutral, I end up being somebody that everybody can trust. Even if they don't always agree with my decisions, they know I'm not working against them.
Maybe it's the music that enables them to function like that, to always take everything as it comes and never complain about the misery, hardship or injustice.
As an artist, you always want to never forget where you come from.
For a surfer, it's never-ending. There's always some wave you want to surf.
The pleasure of writing fiction is that you are always spotting some new approach, an alternative way of telling a story and manipulating characters; the novel is such a wonderfully flexible form.
There's always a new challenge to keep you motivated.
I always want to do better; I always want to find a new challenge.
