“There's something so soothing about the hum of Grand Central Station.”
“How come I love having an episode of deja vu? It's akin to an out-of-body experience, I would think. It sits with me, happily, begging me to delve into my memory to find its match point.”
“I love to personalize things. I love to make things my own. I like to name everything - from cars to iPhones to the socks I just lost.”
“I don't care what size you are or how old you are - once you see the results brought to you by regular exercise, you'll wonder how you survived without it.”
“I love having wine with my meals. And if I splurge, I'm going to splurge big, because if I deny my cravings, it just ends up backfiring on me, you know?”

“What woman doesn't want to go out there and kick some butt? I did it with a sword in 'Conan,' I did it with a crossbow in 'G.I. Joe,' and I've got my multi-tool and my super-suit in 'Continuum.' It's really a release, and it's quite cool.”

“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 like the visibility factor.”
