One of the central memories of my childhood is of hunting - not well; I am a terrible shot - quail and dove and grouse on a farm on the Tennessee River.
Doing the show was like painting the George Washington Bridge. As soon as you finished one end, you started right in on the other.
curling leaves and twining branches outside my bay window look like a Van Gogh in the starlight - there is a river out there somewhere
My mother giving birth to me was just like Lady Sybil giving birth, except that there wasn't such a tragic ending.
We must begin thinking like a river if we are to leave a legacy of beauty and life for future generations.
Certainly, my manager Gary Ungar was the first person to give me any attention and hustle for me. This was back in 2009.
She says that I wore some pretty sexy leather pants to that first meeting, but I don't remember.
Dicen que si tienes un amor lo dejes libre y si regresa es tuyo, pero qué pasa cuando nunca lo fue... Y se llevó algo tuyo, tu corazón, como regresa...

I think this can be a championship team. But we do have to take it one game at a time. You can't look at the end of the road before you get the next foot in.

I made 22 million in 14 years... with taxes, and travel and everything else, it gets blown out the window... which is why I still need to work.
Thanksgiving was always a favorite holiday for me. The preparation was fun! My grandma and I would walk to the butcher on Jamaica Avenue in Queens, order the bird, and buy all the fixings at the market.
Thanksgiving is one of my favorite American traditions. I quickly picked it up when I moved to the U.S. from Sweden.
The hardest thing is for me to let the work go and let myself just live. Every actor is different; they each have their own strengths and weaknesses; trust and ease are mine.
If you get too attached to how you want it to come out the other side, you freeze. I try to trust that it will work out in the end.
