• Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This) - Maria Bello
• I Can't Make You Love Me - Maria Bello

Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
I travel the world
And the seven seas--
Everybody's looking for something.
Some of them want to use you
Some of them want to get used by you
Some of them want to abuse you

Turn down the lights, turn down the bed
Turn down these voices inside my head
Lay down with me, tell me no lies
Just hold me close, dont patronize - dont patronize me
Chorus: cause I cant make you love me if you dont
You cant make your heart feel something it wont
Here in the dark, in these lonely hours
I will lay down my heart and Ill feel the power
But you wont, no you wont
cause I cant make you love me, if you dont
Ill close my eyes, then I wont see
The love you dont feel when youre holding me
Morning will come and Ill do whats right
Just give me till then to give up this fight
And I will give up this fight
Chorus: cause I cant make you love me if you dont
You cant make your heart feel something it wont
Here in the dark, in these lonely hours
I will lay down my heart and Ill feel the power
But you wont, no you wont

Famous quotes by Maria Bello:

"Sexuality is so much less provocative than everyone makes it out to be. What's really underneath it? That's what [the story] is about."

"You know, we knew that from the first day we started shooting,"

"I was surprised that he was such a sweet guy. I thought he was going to be strange. But he could be just the most down-to-earth, lovely family guy you've ever met."

"It's so different. Don't even read it."

"because all I want to do is puke."

"There's no nudity in those sex scenes, but they were the most emotionally draining ones I've ever done,"

"He allows his actors freedom to explore,"

"Violet: Look, I've had a rough couple of days, are you really the owner? Cuz the last think I need is a waitress on a power trip wasting my time."

"At first I didn't know if I wanted to do TV again. I can get bored quickly."

"There is always one person on the set who has a lot of anxiety, an actor who is really intense and has to stay in character and holds himself away from the rest of us."

"I'm not afraid to play my age. I never was. I've never been an ingenue. I like getting older."

"I always wanted the fairy tale, but now I want someone who is a great partner."

"I want to do more action adventures and more romantic comedies."

"I was always anti-marriage. I didn't understand monogamy. I couldn't figure out how that could last. And then I met Bryn and I started to understand the beauty of constancy and history and change and going on the roller coaster with someone - of having a partner in life."

"I'm a girl who loves fashion. I'm such a Cinderella - I love to put on a great dress and heels. It's fun!"

"So many actors wear wigs nowadays. Besides, if someone is hiring me because of how I wear my hair, I don't want to work with them anyway."

"I'm interested in people who have lived, who are searching and questioning."

"I remember listening to 'Maniac' and running around and thinking I'm going to be somebody someday."

"When I do Pilates, or when I do work out, I feel better all day. Yet I still struggle to keep it on my schedule."

"My biggest dream since I was a kid was to be the woman sneaking on the pirate ship dressed like a man, who was this great sword fighter, and the captain fell in love with her."
