I love the role of Ripley.

When you're young, there's so much that you can't take in. It's pouring over you like a waterfall. When you're older, it's less intense, but you're able to reach out and drink it. I love being older.

There's a lot of conning as part of our society, I think.

Never burn bridges. Today's junior jerk, tomorrow's senior partner.

Here's a vice: I say yes to too many things. I wish I had the guilty pleasure of saying no. My goal is to try to do less, but more fully.

Most people think that animals are third-class citizens. Very few people really see animals as "the others" with whom we inhabit this planet. They have equal rights with us.

Don't depend on other people's encouragement. It's never enough and never when you need it.

I'd rather have a small part in a movie I love than a bigger part in one I don't care about.

Usually it's the guys that don't follow you around, who you're attracted to!

It's rare when you have everything going perfectly all at the same time.

If we people become more helpful to others, there will be much less tragedy in the world!

I stand in philosophy exactly where I stand in daily life

On the one hand, I'm a kind of crazy anarchist-sympathizer with a hippie background, so this sounds pretty good to me. Make something for the love of it! But the reality is so much more complicated.

I call animals "guardians of Being," especially animals that live with humans. Because, for many humans, it's through their contact with animals they get in touch with that level of being.

Need nothing. Enjoy everything. Love all.

I got the swag and it's pumping out my ovaries

You always really have to remain consistent in your beliefs and philosophy.

If you ask, who has the chance to move into the city and get a good job out in the developing world? It's a man. Who's left to care for the kids back at home? The woman is.

My grandfather was an engineer who invented the automatic pilot for airplanes.

Finally, in 1954 [Ho Chi Minh] agreed to the Geneva Agreement, which divided the country temporarily into two zones, in the hope that national elections might unify the country under his leadership.
