I played a lawyer in a movie so many times I think I am a lawyer. And clearly I'm not a lawyer, because I got arrested.

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.

I hope to depart in no other way than looking back with love and wistfulness and thinking, oh paintings that I would have made..

The worst thing about knowing that Gary Fairchild had been dead for a month was seeing him every day at work.

Liberation for who does not have a shack and freedom for who does not know how to live is fatal.

Science "knows" it doesn't know everything, otherwise it would stop.

The more thankful you are, the happier you will be!

If we can't express what we know in the form of numbers, we really don't know much about it.

Integrity is never painless.

When I do things with people it's not with the hopes of them coming back because that would be a selfish reason for me to do anything.

I've never been able to learn from other people's mistakes - I'm not that smart - so I usually learn by trial by fire.

My desolation does begin to make A better life.
