Bette Davis in All About Eve was huge for me. Her acting was staggering.

When you finally accept that it's OK not to have answers and it's OK not to be perfect, you realize that feeling confused is a normal part of what it is to be a human being.

You go through spells where you feel that maybe you're too sensitive for this world. I certainly felt that.

Crazy isn't being broken, or swallowing a dark secret. It's you or me, amplified.

I was very depressed after breaking off my engagement with Johnny ten years ago. I was embarrassingly dramatic at the time, but you have to remember I was only 19 years old.

There was a time when I was 19 when I really, really, really thought I was going crazy. I was exhausted and going through a terrible depression.

I've learned that it's OK to be flawed, that life can be messy, that some days you glide and some days you fall, but most important, that there are no secret answers out there.

You have good days and bad days, and depression's something that, you know, is always with you.

You can't pay enough money to... cure that feeling of being broken and confused.

I am not a person who can really sit around and think about regrets because with every bad experience that you have, there is weirdly something good that comes from it.

I was inspired by lots of people, certainly in acting and in writing and stuff, but I never wanted to be somebody else.

Where you see yourself is more important than where you actually are!

Write bylaws in a simple language—no one needs an advanced degree to understand them.

Nothing of worthy or weight can be achieved with half a mind with a faint heart and with a lame endeavor.

I believe that we're in an ideological struggle; I believe the only way to marginalize those who murder the innocent, to achieve our ideological objectives, is to spread democracy and freedom.

Catching people doing things right is a powerful management concept.

The leader is the servant who removes the obstacles that prevent people from doing their jobs.

It is certain that most who concentrate upon achievement miss life.

I guess I should have forgotten about it ages ago, but forgetting isn't something I'm very good at.

If there's one thing I've learned about women, which I try to pass on to my boys, it's listening. Listen to the other side of the story first.

Nothing on this planet is permanent, and this is why I believe there can be no such thing as possession.
