Above all ELSE, DEEP in my SOUL, I'm a TOUGH Irishwoman.

When I was a GIRL, there wasn't ANYTHING in SPANISH in the MOVIES until you SAW it on DVD.

I LOVE commuting between LANGUAGES just LIKE I love commuting between CULTURES and CITIES.

Just as the Supreme COURT has said that WOMEN have the RIGHT to choose whether or not to be PARENTS, men should also have that right.

My mother told me never EXPLAIN, never complain. Even as a YOUNG ACTRESS, I determined I would never GIVE PERSONAL interviews, since they made me so uncomfortable.

I do sometimes PLAY characters that are a BIT ambiguous. You've got to be brave about that sort of stuff. I like the sense of PEOPLE not feeling too secure, not immediately knowing what they have in front of them.

In FRONT of millions of people that paid to see you at your best, who EXPECT you to be in action-figure shape and condition on that particular NIGHT for that moment, you've GOT to DELIVER.

I don't BLAME other people for the rap that CHRISTIANS have. A lot of Christians are just MENTAL. A lot of Christians are more concerned with telling you where you're gonna go when you DIE than what you can have while you're here.

If my FATHER had hugged me EVEN once, I'd be an ACCOUNTANT RIGHT now.

I PLAY SAD bastard MUSIC. For the MONEY.

When we started, we KNEW the show was going to be HIT or MISS, and we needed to FIND a core audience to really make us survive. And I think we've been ABLE to do that.

We do, and there is a law in the United States - the TORTURE Convention - that prohibits the United States from deporting an individual to a COUNTRY where there is a reasonable EXPECTATION that he will be subjected to torture - physical, mental or otherwise.

I'm an ORDINARY GUY with an EXTRAORDINARY JOB.
