Sophia Quoted"I love boxing. There's something fierce about using your body's force that way."
"I want to play everything. I really want to do it all."
"I get to experiment with a lot of looks with my character so that's really fun for me. It's like getting to paint a new canvas everyday."
"Samaire (Armstrong) and I spent a lot of time shopping together and just running around town. She's such a great girl. She's an artist and has a really creative mind. I loved it when they sent me the Stay Alive (2006) script. Mc G called and said `listen, read this role and tell me what you think'. She's so different from anybody I've gotten to play which was what drew me to it. Aside from the fact that the script is great, original and creepy as hell, the character is very, very cool. She's such a bad ass. She's a rough around the edge girl and fits into this sect that is of New Orleans".
"I think what's exceptional about that is typically in the sociology of our culture, we're so used to those gender roles of the women being supported and it's wonderful when you see that that's really not how it is. Because sorry to say, women run the house. They run the family. They hold things up. I mean, it's like you don't ever see your mom get sick because she handles everything. And it's kind of amazing I think to show people just how strong women are. And people enjoy it. And I think people want to see women that reflect women in their lives that they know now." [In reference to the portrayal of strong women in cinema]
"People care about my personal life. But really I'm dorky! I drink beer and go to football games. And ya know, sit in my house in a t-shirt on the weekends and play with my dog!"
"Getting wasted is only OK when you're young enough to not know better." "Brooke and I share some similarities. We're both passionate, fiercely loyal people. But she is far more outlandish than I'd ever be, particularly with her body and her sexuality. Brooke has made herself weak for men - she only gained self-confidence from their attention."
"I was a total education geek. I loved school. I loved learning. I loved doing homework. All of my books and notebooks from high school are underlined and highlighted and there are notes all over the margins. And you know, I was a theater kid too. I was all over the place."
"I'm not a celebrity. I don't call myself a celebrity. I'm an actor."
"I get to do what I love every day. I get to crawl into someone else's head and I love that."
"Life throws some curveballs at you and you go where it takes you."
"Me, I’d prefer to have a good reputation rather than getting press for being scandalous, getting drunk in public, staying out late and so on."
"I'd rather hang out with five people that I love than with 400 strangers at a club who are all doing the up-and-down inspection thing. They appraise everybody from head to toe - the outfit, the handbag, the shoes, how much they weigh...I can't stand it!"
"I enjoy getting riled up, and nothing's gonna do that for you like a good scary movie."
"Life is too short, and I'm Italian. I'd much rather eat pasta and drink wine than be a size 0."
"I own four copies of Robin WIlliams's Live on Broadway comedy special for HBO. One in Wilmington, one in L.A., one in my trailer, and one at my parents' house. I can watch it over and over again and it never gets old. He is the funniest, wittiest man on the planet!"
"To be happy, it first takes being comfortable being in your own shoes. The rest can work up from there."
"Mystery makes movie stars! If you see someone on the cover of the weeklies all the time, why would you want to pay to see them in a movie?"
"Oh! That's my all-time favorite. I met the cast last year. When Richard Belzer shook my hand and I looked him in the eye, I was having heart palpitations. I said, "I'm sorry, I can't breathe. I'll be fine in a second." And he said, "Over us? Really?" I have every episode of every season TiVo'd. I freaked out."
"We have normal lives. We're not getting big egos out here like those people who are constantly chauffered around and going to parties every night. A lot of people in this business seem to think their entitled to extra-special treatment."
"As a strong woman, there are things I would never put up with."
"I have walked away from friendships when I've realized that someone smiles to someone's face and talks about them the minute they walk out of a room. I have no room in my life for that kind of negative energy anymore."
"People say 'Oh, it must be so nice being able to kiss your own husband on the show', but really, it's not. It's so awkward being intimate with your husband with hundreds of people watching and a camera present". [On starring with her husband on "One Tree Hill"]
"I've turned into a total insomniac. Chad will wake up for a 4 a.m. snack, and I will have completely redecorated a room in our house!"
