I can remember crying on the set of Beverly Hills 90210 after being released from the show a few years ago

The truth is, after Boys Don't Cry, I realized how few and far between the great roles are. I am beyond thankful for finding Million Dollar Baby.

This is my one and only life and it's a great and terrible and short and endless thing and none of us come out of it alive.

I grew up in a trailer park in Bellingham, Washington.

My biggest growth has been sitting with things that are uncomfortable and dealing with them.

I had teachers who I could tell didn't want to be there. And I just couldn't get inspired by someone who didn't want to be there.

I don't think people should have boundaries put on them, by themselves or society or another gender, because it's our birthright to experience life in whatever way we feel best suits us.

You can change your fate. You can sit back, or you can go after your life and all that you want it to be.

You only have one life and if you're not doing what you love, what's the point?

Few people know this about me, but I love baking pies.

There's no negatives. You just have to trust that what's happening in your life is unfolding in exactly the right way.

The walls that caged me were not of this world, but were within my mind.

One more drink and I'd have been under the host.

if you worry about yesterdays moments, you are loosing your moments to live today!!

Ranger fans are the rudest and they're proud of it, I'm sure.

If you cannot trust God for the temporal, how dare you trust him for the eternal?

This is about safety. This has nothing to do with religion.

You really have to get out of an actor's head to write because actors only care about their part and it revolves around their part so "This is the important part because this is the part where..." .

We must believe in free will - we have no choice.

People who prefer e-books...think that books merely take up space. This is true, but so do your children and Prague and the Sistine Chapel.

Love is a spendthrift, leaves it arithmetic at home, is always in the red.
