I think every human being has a level of melancholy in life and in general.
-
Composing means you have a beginning, middle and end and a fluidity to what you're doing.
-
Nothing makes me happier than dancing. It transforms me. It's the only time I let out what is inside and I feel completely sensual and sexy and alive.
-
I realized that being an actor was something I never owned up to, in a weird way. I would be a hostess or a waitress or a house restorer before I would consider myself an actor, because I never thought I was good enough.
-
I don't want to not enjoy where I am at this very moment. So, every time I plan something the exact opposite happens. I hope that I'm always satisfied and content like I am right at this very moment.
-
I used to be an optimist, but now I know that nothing is going to turn out as I expect.
-
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.

Usually comedy is only available to us ladies in the romantic comedy. That's why I hate romantic comedies.
-
My life changes dramatically every time I get up out of bed. After my proposal life changed in that I wasn't asked to change. I always thought that marriage meant someone was going to ask you to stop being who you were. And I met someone who not only wants me to be who I am but likes it. So, my life changed in that my views towards marriage stopped being morbid. I found I was ready to be a good partner where I don't think I was a very good partner to people before. I stepped up my game.

Latinos, Asians, African-Americans, women - we're all trying to find our place in this world of cinema and television and theater. And the great thing with comedy is that most of the time, you could be orange. It doesn't matter, as long you're funny.
-
I was raised in Washington, DC in a household where one parent was a Republican and the other was a Democrat, so I got both sides.
-
The thing I remember the most was not understanding why, if you were doing the right thing, then why did people want to kill you? I remember asking my parents, 'Why is it when people are trying to help other people then they're dying?'
-
Ironing is comfort. It's control. I'm a nutty person who likes to make sure everything is in its place.
-
Uniqueness was something my mother pounded into me.
-
Makeup is scary. When I do it myself, it's just mascara, and sometimes I forget even to do that.
-
I would say if you are going to party, show up on time to work.
-
I mean, yeah, Anne Fletcher was a choreographer, but she was born to be a director. You need to have the ability to figure out people's rhythms. It all starts from the script.
-
I basically became a cheerleader because I had a very strict mom. That was my way of being a bad girl.
-
Every single second of every single day... I don't know if I feel like a bad mom, but at the end of the day I'm always plagued with, 'Did I do enough? Should I go in a different direction?'
-
I realize that once I stopped fighting the technical process of how to move my body, I made it choreography.
-
I have these big piano-playing hands. I feel like I should be picking potatoes.
-
I love people in elements that they're not used to.
-
Poop humor is fun. If you do the toilet scenes well and commit to them, they can be really, really powerful.
-
I would love to be on 'Top Gear' as a star in a reasonably priced car.
