If you're the head of a business, there's a protocol that people have to follow.
The best part of shooting 'House of Cards' in Baltimore is eating lots of soft-shell crab.
No nude scenes. No sex-symbol parts. I want people to recognize me for my work, not just for being pretty.
I can't imagine having long hair anymore; it's weird.
I can't stop moving. I'm like this weird insect. I can't sit still in real life.
You're never going to be able to delve into the character traits of a Michelle Obama or Hillary Clinton.
We viewed this as a very clear case of theft.
Sean's movies are provocative and challenging without being slick.
Sean's a better person when he's directing. He becomes a queen when he's an actor. And he's so unhappy when he's acting.
Now that my kids are out of the house, I'm finally able to get to the classics I never read: Emily Bronte, Dylan Thomas, Joseph Heller's 'Catch-22.' It's endless. They're all in this gigantic pile next to my bed.
Learning what you don't want is how you know what you do want.
Famous is celebrityism, and I don't want that... I know that I'm not that. Everybody knows who you are. I can't imagine living that life, but I don't think I consider myself famous.
I think the inception of my interest in arts was when I was around 9 or 10 and I started dancing. I was really convinced that I was going to go to New York and be onstage in 'A Chorus Line.'
Hollywood is difficult to navigate if you have integrity, so I opted not to work if there wasn't enough to do in a role, which doesn't have to do with the role's size.
