I grew up loving TV so much. It was such an integral part of my youth, and I was completely an Emmy geek.

On the stage you develop a character that's different from yourself. In a film they're always saying, 'Walk over here. Say this line. Be you.'

I try to save being angry for the really important moments - for special occasions.

I can't imagine Jon Cryer performing with the New York Philharmonic isn't one of the signs of apocalypse.

Happiness is like a cat, If you try to coax it or call it, it will avoid you; it will never come. But if you pay not attention to it and go about your business, you'll find it rubbing against your legs and jumping into your lap.

When you take out individual initiative, individual responsibility, and the hope that every individual is born with, to better their lives, to climb the economic ladder, to pursue happiness, that is, in fact, a neoslavery.

A mother's happiness is like a beacon, lighting up the future but reflected also on the past in the guise of fond memories.

If something really gave me immense happiness, I will remember it for the rest of my life in vivid detail. But if something bothered me, or I regretted it deeply, I will move ahead from it and forget.
