I came from dinner, went downtown with my friends, the elevator was down, I ran down the hall toward my room at 10 at night, having had two glasses of wine.

I wasn't very good about juggling family and my career. I was interested in who was coming to the children's birthday party, what my son was writing. I was thinking about Legos.

I like to run, to go down the stairs, I'm one of those kind of people.

I want to be an actress, not a personality.

I just didn't work that much while the kids were growing up.

I don't like sitting around in my dressing room very much. It feels a lot like theater.

Well, this would be nice if it worked out, but I'm not selling the farm.

People always seem to see echoes of their own lives in my films.

What bugs me is that movies don't reflect how interesting and vibrant women are. We don't treasure women as they get older.

I notice now, whatever character in whatever movie youre watching, they have these toned arms and muscles.

There's something about soft, unstructured arms that's very beautiful.

Everything in the universe is nothing but consciousness. Which makes us all ONE!

when we were eleven, say, we really weren't interested in each other's poems at all. . . . But we didn't know a thing about poetry. We didn't care about it.

When we start to feel anxious or depressed, instead of asking, "What do I need to get to be happy?" The question becomes, "What am I doing to disturb the inner peace that I already have?"

Nothing is constant but change! All existence is a perpetual flux of "being and becoming!" That is the broad lesson of the evolution of the world.

I don't really believe in 'directions' in art; the rope twists as you follow it, that's all.

I'm training two-and-a-half hours a day, pushing my body beyond its normal limits, putting on a lot of muscle mass and just making myself look like Superman.

We all know fear. But passion makes us fearless.

I’ve always said to people, "I don’t care what you call me as long as the checks don’t bounce and the family gets fed." But I never saw myself that way. I just saw myself as a novelist.

I'm still ready to go to the moon, if they'll take me.

The march to our duty here, not merely to ourselves, but to our surroundings, must proceed. God wills it.
