Personal quotes
"I love it when women come up to me and tell me
I'm a positive influence on their lives and the lives
of their young daughters. That's a great feeling."
"I am
more spontaneous than my character..."
"Fame
is complicated and definitely overrated. There are perks
to it that are unfathomable. But the other aspect is
there's little to no privacy at all - being anywhere
at any time and knowing that somebody you cannot see
is probably taking a picture of you, which has happened
hundreds of times. I look around and cannot see anyone
and a couple of weeks later I see a photo of me looking
around." (Movieline interview, Dec. 1998)"
"Be
of service. Whether you make yourself available to a
friend or co-worker, or you make time every month to
do volunteer work, there is nothing that harvests more
of a feeling of empowerment than being of service to
someone in need."
"I truly
believe that we can overcome any hurdle that lies before
us and create the life we want to live. I have seen
it happen time and time again."
"Just
remember, you can do anything you set your mind to,
but it takes action, perseverance, and facing your fears."
"People
generally treat me like I'm very intelligent and really,
I'm much less intelligent than she is. Scully is insanely
intelligent."
"So
much of this world is based on illusion, temporariness,
and disposability that I think it's essential that our
closest relationships reflect what is real."
