I have like two dreams a week that I have to write a paper that I'm late with or that I've gone back to high school and have to do that in addition to my current job.

How we handle our fears will determine where we go with the rest of our lives.

Let children read whatever they want and then talk about it with them. If parents and kids can talk together, we won't have as much censorship because we won't have as much fear.

My only advice is to stay aware, listen carefully, and yell for help if you need it.

Believe in yourself and you can achieve greatness in your life.

our finger prints dont fade from the lives we touch

Having the freedom to read and the freedom to choose is one of the best gifts my parents ever gave me.

Librarians save lives by handing the right book at the right time to a kid in need.

We are friends for life. When we’re together the years fall away. Isn’t that what matters? To have someone who can remember with you? To have someone who remembers how far you’ve come?

The truth will make you odd.

Things change…things happen…things you can’t even imagine when you’re young and full of hope.

The size of your dreams must always exceed your current capacity to achieve them. If your dreams do not scare you, they are not big enough.

I think almost always that what gets me going with a story is the atmosphere, the visual imagery, and then I people it with characters, not the other way around.

I don't write any of my material down. I like to improvise and be spontaneous.

You should laugh everywhere you can find even the slightest glimmer of humour.

To-day is the parent of to-morrow. The present casts its shadow far into the future.

Academics were not a challenge when I was fifteen in college. The challenge was figuring out how to fit in socially.

I love being challenged physically, as an actress.

I ended up meeting my manager because my sister was a receptionist at a management company. My manager is actually my same manager that I have today. That's how it started. I worked my way.

I think love resides in all of the songs, even when they are overtly sexual.

Money's a very serious thing - especially when you haven't got any.
