I'm going to be 58, and I'm a woman. In this business, that seems to be a bigger crime than being mentally ill

My recovery from manic depression has been an evolution, not a sudden miracle.

Reality is hard. It is no walk in the park, this thing called life.

I've come to believe that whoever I am didn't start on December 14, 1946, and isn't going to end on whatever that mysterious date is in the future

I can't tell you what I had for breakfast, but I can sing every single word of rock and roll

From the moment we walk out the door until we come back home our sensibilities are so assaulted by the world that we have to soak up as much love as we can get, simply to arm ourselves.

I tell people to monitor their self-pity. Self-pity is very unattractive.

When I'm 80 and sitting in a rocking chair listening to the Rolling Stones, there is absolutely no way I'm going to feel old or forget my younger days.

I still have highs and lows, just like any other person. What's missing is the lack of control over the super highs, which became destructive, and the super lows, which are immediately destructive.

My body was a machine, plain and simple. I worked it to stay strong; I fed it to keep it running.

The best remedy for what ails me is being with you here under the sun.

I think even lying on my bed I can still do something.

This truth must be recognized as a dogma and assume the validity of an axiom in the general understanding of painting

There was a time, when I blamed my companion if his religion did not resemble mine. Now, however, my heart accepts every form....Love alone is my religion.

The deeper your belief, the deeper your pockets.

I'm blessed. I have a 13-year-old girl's eye and a 14 year-old boy's eye. I've been given the gift of sight by people who decided to donate organs. I try to do as much organ-donor work as I can.

I'm a Canadian citizen. But I always want to feel at home in Sri Lanka. I'm a member of both countries.

Personally I find there is just as much if not more creativity among game makers as there is among feature filmmakers.

Failure doesn't mean you are a failure... it just means you haven't succeeded yet. Failure is a detour, not a dead-end street.
