I am determined and ready to be a commodity that fulfills everyone's fantasies.

What one person sees as degrading and disgusting and bad for women might make some women feel empowered and beautiful and strong.

We do have a distorted view of our fantasies in society, but that's because we don't talk about them enough.

I don't believe in a God. I don't believe in any of that stuff to determine my life or my goals or my direction. I just depend on myself.

I am an actor. I am an artist. I am a daughter. I am a sister. I am a partner. I have a past that some people may not agree with, but it does not define who I am.

A shiny ring isn't romantic to me. I think thought and love into what you do for the person you're in love with - that's romance.

Rejection just motivates me to keep trying and to try to do better.

I think there are very few people, in my generation at least, that are that passionate about what they do.

People don't really absorb everything they read or hear. They just look at it quickly, and then they choose to remember what they want to remember.

I'd like to think of myself as somebody who has a voice for liberating female sexuality.

I am selective, but at the same time, I want to be out there as an actor and show people my range.

Any experience, which is not written, will be lost in time. Rich literature is lost forever.

He stood and stepped up behind her. Why not? It's the truth. I like spending time with you. You're strong, beautiful and brave. What more could a man ask for?

Ladies' hearts are like china on a mantelpiece. There are so many of them, and it is so easy to break them without noticing.

People whine, 'I haven't succeeded because I haven't had the breaks.' You create your own breaks.

The mad rarely know that they are mad. It's the rest of the world, I think, that seems insane to them.

Reading and thoughtfulness and openness are the best way, I should think, to begin to address the richness that is in each of us.

Fear dims when you learn things.

There is no doubt in the sanctity of Mecca, but a donkey won't become a Hajj pilgrim by just going through the motions.

Any parting could be forever, and we don't know.

I just eat life... I engage in life.
