Diets are a fool's errand.

What I wanted originally was six kids.

I actually find flying therapeutic.

As a filmmaker, you have to understand the essence of the book and tell the story you want to see on the screen, and hopefully please yourself - because you can't possibly please everyone.

A month and a half after my first audition, I won the role on 'Lost.'

I'm an actress, but I'm not stupid.

I was fortunate enough to be one of those stories where I was scouted on the street by somebody and actually refused to go to the agency, and was approached on different occasions and finally kind of caved and said, 'OK, I'll try it and see what happens.'

I love getting older!

Even if you're unhappy, just pretend that you're happy. Eventually, your smile will be contagious to yourself. I had to learn that. I used to think, 'I'm being fake,' but you know what? Better to be fake and happy than real and miserable.

I just like short hair on women; I think it's cool.
