Both my mother and father were very supportive of any career move any of us wanted to make.

I'm an actor... I do a job and I go home. Why are you interested in me? You don't ask a truck driver about his job.

I like dark places.

Good writing will bring you to places you don't even expect sometimes.

I joke about it being a millstone, but it never hurts to have a name that sticks out.

After spending 460 days as a hostage, I did emerge a fundamentally changed person. But I think, like everyone does as they grow older and probably wiser, I can look back at my earlier life - my history, my mistakes, the joy I felt as a young woman traveling the world - with some objectivity and even some humor.

I remember certain people in the audience laughing and I wanted to ask: 'What are you laughing at? This isn't funny.' Now I realize that laughter can come from insecurity. They don't know how they should be feeling.

Humor that is edgy is never squeaky clean.
