I've never been speed dating! I sort of wish I had, just for the experience of it.
In Australia, I can just say to my mom, 'I'm going down the street.' And I can walk around pretty much all the places I know.
I think I just get excited by music, and, like, singing is a very physical thing. It releases endorphins in your body. You're using almost muscle in there, and I think that adrenaline really helps to kind of make the songs fresh every time.
Ultimately you want to do something in life that people will remember. And with Buffy, I did that. I don't feel like I need to achieve something. I just do it because it's fun. And that takes the pressure off.
The worst part about pregnancy would definitely have to be my nausea. I don't know why it's just called morning sickness because morning sickness never just happened in the morning for me and it's not happening just in the morning for my sister.
Finland had a civil war less than 100 years ago, just like in Ireland. If you look at the history of newly independent nations, civil war is almost every time present, even in the United States.
When you break a sweat you just feel great. You've got your endorphins going. You feel better. You look better. And if you aren't able to get a workout in, try to find a steam room somewhere. You just look and feel so much better after a sweat.
I want to go to the Maldives before they sink, but just because it's the most beautiful place on earth.
When I left Maine, I always wanted to be a working actor. I never cared too much about being the star. I just wanted to do the work and get on with it.
But I certainly know a lot of people that existed at that level and are always kind of pining for more, always thinking that the next big break, the next opportunity, the big role are just around the corner of the next audition.
In this country we're just obsessed with making people celebrities before they've even done anything, which I think is just shocking.
When I first got into the entertainment industry, I would always watch Rihanna and all those people, so I was like, 'Ooh, I have to be this.' So my mom was like, 'Just be yourself.'
I believe family first. Blood is thicker than water. I grew up like that, and I want to continue to keep that goal in my heart. Just family first! Just honesty, integrity, and respect. All of that. I live by the code of those things. If you do that you'll be fine.
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.
It just doesn't mean anything to me, the high-profile, big money side of things. I just want enough to live on, and to be able to get on with what I do, and hang around my friends.
I just kind of understood it, and I threw my love for others and love for life into the character, and was having a blast. I loved playing Dharma. I loved it!
My days, if they start in the morning with a cuddle from my son, are just so much more glorious than they were prior to that.
Really you just gotta keep chugging along and keep a positive attitude and get through all the problems. You gotta face them, otherwise you don't get through.
Many nations are like rebellious teenagers who try to figure out just how many times they can kick us in the teeth while still taking our money.
Here's what I just realized: A world in which sport at its best is not seen as some kind of art is a world that doesn't deserve any art.
Being a mom has made me a better person. It's made me more compassionate. It's just awesome. I think I was put here to be a mom.
I wouldn't want to make the same record over and over again or look the same or be the same. I think that's just human life in general, though.
I try to keep a low profile in general. Not with my art, but just as a person.
I always ask myself, would I want someone to do something that wasn't comfortable for them just to please me? And the answer is no.
It's the lie of evolution that all man are just evolved and that they're all equal, and that all creatures are equal.
When I die, just keep playing the records.
I'm Irish, so I'm used to odd stews. I can take it. Just throw a lot of carrots and onions in there and I'll call it dinner.
I like hearing fiddles, steel guitar, acoustics up loud - really rock & roll stuff but with a country sound behind it. That's just who I am. I'm not trying to prove a point; I am just doing what I like. But I don't have any problems with any other artist coming in and doing their own thing.
With the hugely talented women I've worked with or observed, it's not a question about temperament or ego; it's a question about getting it right. If they've got a reputation for being difficult it's usually because they just don't suffer fools.
Fighting the ageing process just doesn't work. I think that actresses, ultimately, are responsible for the faces we give to women.
I think every film actor secretly wants to be a rock star as well; just that part of the job which requires the extrovert in you. Even if you've become an actor because it's your way of hiding in plain sight, there's still part of you which has that craving.
I just like to do covers, every once in a while. If someone pays me to go into the studio, I'll do it.
We all press buttons in relationships, in our dealings with people, without thinking what it really means. We all knock along without questioning what kind of situation we're in. We may often be in a very good one, but we don't even appreciate the good situations. We're lazy. Or we're scared. Or we just don't notice.
Zhang is a friend of mine: he said forget about acting and just do normal things in the movie.
Sometimes it is a great joy just to listen to someone we love talking.
Every day, you try something new. So I just try to keep myself healthy physically and nutritionally.
