“I've seen 'Silence of the Lambs,' like, fifty or sixty times. That's my favorite movie of all time.”

“Don't get me wrong, I love watching episodes of my favorite shows on Hulu and reading the daily trash on PageSix, but I also embrace the opportunity to settle down with a good book and let m...”

“People ask me about fighting in real life and, honestly, it wouldn't look as graceful as it does in film and TV.”

“I think that being read to every night is the reason why I was plowing through volume after volume of 'Nancy Drew' books all by myself by the time I reached the first grade. I loved stories....”

“I love Bridget Fonda.”

“Nothing says, 'I pay attention to detail!' like footwear flattery from a boy.”

“I definitely try to eat a healthy diet, but I am the first person to say I love unhealthy food. I would never tell you I don't. I love fried chicken or mac and cheese. Do I order them all th...”

“There's something so soothing about the hum of Grand Central Station.”

“Short boots are cool, in my humble opinion. They say, 'Hey! Winter is over, but summer hasn't yet arrived - so enjoy this halfway point!'”

“I've always driven big SUVs. I'm from Maine, and there's a point to driving a big SUV in Maine. I don't really need a 4WD in L.A., but on the 405, people are crazy, and you need a tank. I li...”

“I love the smell of freshly cut grass. It takes me back to summers in Maine.”

“Sometimes, when full and in fear that I will continue to eat unwanted food just because it's staring at me, I will place my napkin over the remaining portion. This is what I frequently refer...”

“I am a night owl. I always have been... and I'd like to think I always will be, although surely having children will put a stop to my nightly affairs with myself.”

“I'd like to think, if I was ever in a fight, I'd win, although I'd probably run in the opposite direction.”

“I'm not one of those people that wears something once and tosses it aside. I wear my shoes until they beg to be thrown away. Parting is such sweet sorrow - and then it's onto the next pair.”
