I think I'm good at looking moody. I'm not much good at analysing myself, but I tend to fit the strange and tortured characters.
I think I've been really good at surrounding myself with really talented people. I've picked the right coattails to ride on.
The whole goal for me with my career is just follow good projects and good parts and challenge myself as much as I can.
I always have the feeling in these low states that something good is about to happen. That's when I feel the fullest, the rawest, the closest to myself.
There's something grounded about 'Ugly Americans,' so I think it's good that I'm playing a version of myself in these elevated cartoon circumstances.
I have a wonderfully hedonistic appetite, and if I wasn't really strict with myself, I'd weigh 300 pounds. I'm not good with moderation.
I pinch myself daily at the good fortune of my life, you know, in many ways.
I've deliberately tried to calm myself down because eventually I want to be a good role model to my kids.
When I started acting, I was told over and over again, 'You're no good.' But I said to myself, 'You've got to keep it up.'
I was not a good student. I did not spend much time at college; I was too busy enjoying myself.

It's good for me to do things outside my comfort zone and push myself.
I see myself being a great-grandmother at my great-grandson's graduation from a school that has my name on it.
During the election in 1989, there was the first Soviet election with alternative candidates to local government. I myself arranged special training for them.
People don't get through to the essence of you right away - it's always the famous 'girl' or the famous 'girlfriend'. I'd rather be known for myself.
I always wanted to be honest with myself and to those who have had faith in me.
The funny thing is, I don't actually think of myself as fat at all. I don't think I am. Not really.
When I was in high school I used to sit by myself in the cafeteria - not necessarily by choice - but I thought it was funny to talk to people that weren't there.
I try and reduce myself to an almost blank slate and hope to God that I am creative.
I've been praying to God to show me how to forgive myself. Because... maybe... that's the thing I've been searching for.
It was my mother's idea. Her feeling was that I didn't have the intelligence to pick a trade myself.
