I always thought after 2002 that I'd hang up my skates and turn professional and just go on tour and do shows. But I don't know when it is enough. I mean, I still enjoy it. I'm the luckiest girl alive that I get to perform in front of thousands of people, do what I love doing.
I'm kind of a nerd. A square. And I'm terrible at telling jokes. I always forget the punch line.
Since being a wee boy, I've wanted to be on the pitch at Hampden. I don't know why. I love all the international games and such but I've never been that partisan. But I've always wanted to stand on that pitch.
My father was overbearing. Very controlling. He was always the way he is, even before my success. He was not always a good person. He'd play mind games to make sure I knew my place.

I think it's really amazing to have a big family. I've always wanted one.
It's always too early to quit.

Music has always gotten me through life, particularly honest, real music.
That was my fear, which is why when I was took over a book, I was always trying to tweak it a little bit so that it looked like I was trying to add something instead of keeping the status quo.

The best teachers that I had were always the ones I never wanted to disappoint.

Always remember that you are absolutely unique. Just like everyone else.
Hollywood is always about Hollywood.
I've always found it not only easy, but enjoyable. It's necessary for us to reach out and I'm speaking for myself here. I certainly have a sense of responsibility to reach out to these people in the theatre who might look to someone like me for some guidance.
I think the truth is always interesting, but with politicians, you don't get to see much of that.
Because I've always been a fairly nervous person.

There is something that happens when you are grateful: You continue to keep receiving blessings. So I will always be grateful.

I've always been very stubborn, had a very clear will of what I want to do.
I cry watching 'Camille' with Greta Garbo. I have to say that - while it might sound weird - it will be weird, but there is one movie I always laugh in, and at the end of the movie, I always cry, and I saw it, like, 10 times. It's 'Step Brothers.'
I think in any form of acting, you're always well served if you've done theater.
The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, and wiser people so full of doubts.
I always challenge myself. I get out in deep water and I always try to get back. But I get hung up. The audience never knows, but that's when I smile the most, when I show the most ivory.
