What does it take to be the first female anything? It takes grit, and it takes grace.

I have a very clear understanding of what my voice is. It's like a B voice. It hovers around B-minus, B-plus. I have great friends who are wonderful singers, and I know I'll never be able to do that. But singing through a character is something I can do.

My job is usually to express emotion as freely as possible.

It is well that the earth is round that we do not see too far ahead.

The U.S.S. George H. W. Bush is a great thing in my life. It's amazing. A great honor.

A friend is someone who can help you with your career.

I am very active on the Internet. In 2007, I made one film every day and posted it on my website. That was a 365-day project, really exhausting, but I still put a lot of stuff on - from life, friends, my own life.

That wasn't because of money, it was because I had a job for the next two days and wanted to work. So I faked a test. That was over two years ago. Why has there been no issue about it since then?
