I couldn’t have gotten this far without my beautiful parents. I’m also very lucky to have the best friends that I do.

Math just wasn’t my favorite. I didn’t get how important math is and how it relates to real life. That’s why I think I was turned off to it.

Two women? God, man. Well, I’m still living. So clearly I must’ve gotten away with it, when I did do it. But I don’t think it’s time to blow my cover now.

I’ve made music since I was a kid so I’ve always gotten joy out of that.

Because of the feminist perspective, we have gotten a view of the world that is distorted.
I do like to drive fast and I have gotten pulled over in the past. I use my skills to get out of tickets.
Awards are not something that I measure my work by. I’ve been so fortunate and I’ve gotten to do such terrific things that it seems petty to look back and say, ‘Oh, I should have gotten that prize.’ I don’t look at it that way.
Over the last couple of years I have gotten an average of 2,000 letters a week from fans.

I think that nerds, if you want to call them that, have only gotten more hip and assimilated into the culture.

The hardest thing about movie acting is that if you’re playing a character who changes within the movie, you’ve got to do that, but you’ve got to do it out of sequence, because we never have gotten to shoot in sequence, and that’s really, really tough.
I don’t feel typecast almost at all, and it could just be because I’m insensitive, but I doubt it. I think most of my roles I’ve gotten have very little to do with my ethnicity. I don’t feel that’s a limiting factor for my career.
You have to ask what is going to happen to a lot of companies when there is not a lot more money to be gotten. That changes everybody’s perspective, I think.

You know who my gods are, who I believe in fervently? Herman Melville, Emily Dickinson – she’s probably the top – Mozart, Shakespeare, Keats. These are wonderful gods who have gotten me through the narrow straits of life.
