I'm trying to make it cool to be a good girl.

I take the kids to church and Sunday school. They love it. I really think it's important for a child to feel that there are things that are bigger than your life out there.

My sheets are monogrammed, so is my silverware and pretty much everything else I own. My rule is, if it's not moving -- monogram it!

We’re more than just our dresses.

It's funny that it all becomes about clothes. It's bizarre. You work your butt off and then you win an award and it's all about your dress. You can't get away from it.

I love to cook comfort food. I'll make fish and vegetables or meat and vegetables and potatoes or rice. The ritual of it is fun for me, and the creativity of it.

Confidence is everything in this business.

As an artist, I feel more strongly than ever that my job on earth is to tell the stories of the invisibles, and women have been invisible on film for a long time.

My rule is, if it's not moving-monogram it!

If you're not yelling at your kids, you're not spending enough time with them.

Every day you have to choose and cultivate your own happiness.

How then did it work out, all this? How did one judge people, think of them? How did one add up this and that and conclude that it is liking one felt, or disliking?

The struggle to learn to listen to and respect our own intuitive inner promptings is the greatest challenge of all.

Morality which is based on ideas, or on an ideal, is an unmitigated evil.

Sometimes the archaism of the language when it's spoken is why we are all in love with the Irish today.

I don't tap dance, and I don't think you can learn to tap dance in three weeks at my ripe old age.

I'm someone who'd never base how happy I am on how much money I have, or how good a restaurant is because of how posh it is.

The less I understand life, the more I live it!

If Blake said that, said Father Brian, he never lived in Dublin.

Little old lady got mutilated late last night, werewolves of London, again.

God will answer all our questions in one way and one way only. Namely, by showing us more of his Son.
