Quotes
# | Quote |
---|---|
1 | Television is a lot of fun. It's faster-paced. The schedule is really desirable, I guess. But as far as films go, and I've only done a couple; film is like a definitive beginning, middle and end. You know your character's arch. |
2 | Going to the gym and looking for a specific result is a short-lived existence, as opposed to going to the gym and adopting it as a lifestyle. Develop a routine, because it's much harder to break it if you have one. If you have no routine, you have nothing to break, so discipline goes out the window. |
3 | I don't know if there's any change more significant that a human being can make than that of a woman becoming a mother. There's no change more dramatic. |
4 | I go eat a sandwich for lunch and have a milk shake and miss going to the gym for 10 days, and somebody snaps a picture of me on the beach, and all of a sudden, I've lost it. Why do I need to be perfect all the time? |
5 | I make really good chicken soup, sort of from scratch. I don't make my own stock. I just use a base like a chicken stock, but everything else, all the ingredients, I do on my own. |
6 | I'm a goal setter, but in broad strokes. I don't have a by-October-2009-I-want-to-be-here plan. All I do is work with an element of challenge and an element of enjoyment. With that, anything can happen. |
7 | The action genre is not always the most synonymous with character development. |
8 | On 'Grey's Anatomy,' I didn't have to move too much. I think I ran through the hospital three times. |
9 | I couldn't comprehend a 35-year-old woman gravitating toward a 70-year-old man. |
10 | Never ask a woman when she's due unless you know for a fact she's expecting. |
11 | I'm out of bed before the alarm goes off. |
12 | Some of the greatest actors on the planet are the most insecure people. Now I don't know if that insecurity necessarily equates to a lack of confidence. Some people are just very shy individuals. You give them a character to play and a script, and you put them in front of a camera or on a stage, and they just go. |
13 | With a pilot, there's a lot of information that gets packed into 46 minutes or whatever it is. Usually what happens is that, throughout the season, you get to spend a little more quality time with the characters and get to know them a bit better, whether it's based on circumstance or relationships they've created with other characters. |
14 | I do like to cook. But I only cook a few things, but those few things I do really well. |
15 | Sometimes I feel like I'm lacking a playfulness. I envy guys who are consistently able to maintain a playful, optimistic perspective on things. |
16 | My skin is very sensitive. |
