I'd always felt very strongly in the power of vocation.
I always hear I have the voice-over voice.
I was always quite good with accents - I always had quite a good ear - so from the age of about 13, I used to do a lot of voiceover and dubbing for foreign films.
Same job, whether it's comedy or drama. Regardless of the weight of the role, I feel like the job is always kind of the same. Who is this person? What's this guy here, and how is he playing with this thing, and what's he trying to say? And what's the volley with all these other people around him?
I've always loved being active, and I used to do sports - basketball, soccer, volleyball - growing up.
My mentality has always been, If I'm not the best at something, then I might as well be the best at something else. I realized that I wasn't going to be an Olympic volleyball player, but I knew I could model at that level.
I practiced law for 10 years, and I always admired the lawyers who were not afraid to take unpopular cases. And I never had the guts to do that. I was playing it safe. I was trying to make a living. And I just never volunteered for a really tough case, and there were some of them I should've taken. And I admired the lawyers who did.
I love Lars von Trier. 'Dogville' is my favourite movie of the last 20 years. 'Nymphomaniac' and 'Melancholia' aren't quite as exciting as 'The Kingdom', 'Breaking the Waves', or 'The Idiots', but I'll always love him for being him.
My father and my mother and my sister and I have always voted Republican, always.
What gets lost is that the Republican Party has always been the party of civil rights and voting rights.
When I moved to New York City from Texas at 22, amateur hour was over. As a newly grown-up person, I vowed I would wear dresses and skirts, wool trousers occasionally, and heels always.
Always end the name of your child with a vowel, so that when you yell the name will carry.
I'm house obsessed, a house voyeur. Always have been.
I've always been kind of a voyeur.
There's always some potential vulnerabilities in any system.
Putting a wig on and a costume and doing a wacky character is always fun.
Once a waitress, always a waitress.
I've never had to do anything I didn't believe in. Sometimes that meant being poor and waitressing a while longer, but I've always stuck with it.
It's always a wake-up call to get beaten.
I've always wanted to work for Walt Disney. That's what I thought I was going to do when I grew up.
