I miss the anonymity that comes with New York because everyone around you is so immersed in their own journey.
Women always want to be what they're not: If you're the pretty girl, you want to be the quirky girl. If you're the smart girl, you want to be the pretty girl.
I like having a routine, because everything else is so unpredictable.
I like action more than anything touchy-feely.
My dream car would be a Maserati. That would be amazing.
People spend so much time in their cars, and it's a legal way to have fun by speeding a little bit or testing yourself a little bit, and you get to invest in your car. For some people, it becomes their baby.
I've always been kind of picky because I've always been interested in lots of different things. I chose to take three years off and go to school, and that helped keep me sane. Hollywood can make you crazy, if all you're thinking about is your next job.
I'd love to be a Bond girl. I mean, if you're going to be stereotyped, there are worse things to be stereotyped as.
I think escapism is really important.
When I do my own makeup, I keep things pretty simple.
I love working out, but I need my brain to be someplace else as my body does the work.
There was one day when I just didn't feel like I could do weight training after my cardio, so I didn't. You do have to know when to stop, or you can hurt yourself.
I meditate, which I really like. Just 20 minutes twice a day and that really helps.
Paul [Walker]’s kindness was pure. He never asked for credit of glory. He was just a really good guy.
I once owned a really, really ugly pair of white leather boots. They were so bad. It was back in the '80s! It was just a really tacky fashion choice when I was in middle school, and I thought it was cool. I'm really embarrassed.
I like working consistently. I like working for four months at a time, which is why cable was so attractive. You work for four months, and then you get to do something else, whether it's doing a movie or just being at home with your husband and eventually having a family.
When you're doing a movie, you're in and out of there in three months. If you hated the experience, it's all good because you can take the paycheck and leave. But, on a television show, you have to love your character and you have to love the experience because you could be there for awhile, fingers crossed.
What I love about New York is that everyone is in their own world. It's the opposite of L.A. - there, everyone is looking outside of themselves to see who's next to them. What's great about New York is that you get to be anonymous.
I will not go on a blind date.
I think that unless you grew up in New York or Chicago or Los Angeles, you're sheltered.
Well, I was lucky in that my being an actress totally overshadowed my having some kind of a... legacy at Yale, so that was kind of great.
Also, when you think about a show that you used to watch as a kid or as a teenager, you look at it through sort of rose colored glasses when you remember it.
I think movies should illuminate and teach, but that's for a certain genre.
I work out with a trainer five days a week.
I feel like directing is an innate talent.
