I sometimes truly despair at ever being meaningfully altered and affected by the things I claim are so important to me.

God is not something I think about but something I experience as an energy, a Presence. I do find it easier to pray to a female Presence or an androgynous Presence.

Well, you know what they say: if you don't have anything nice to say about anybody, come sit by me!

My husband is a fall-away Catholic, but with a vengeance. He's actually more of a feminist than I am.

Thankfully, it became clear to me that when I compete, I lose my connection to the passion I have for my work.

Winning is everything in Hollywood.

When I was a kid, I'd kneel down at the side of my bed every night before I went to sleep, and my mother and I would say a Greek prayer to the Virgin Mary.

Follow your heart, your instincts. People might try to dissuade you from your passion, but no one can live your life but you.

What you don't know about women is alot.

I think it's because most of us talk one way and live another. There are a few people who truly, truly walk the talk.

I think we're socialized out of being women, and then we have to find our way back to it. That's hard to do.

All this electromagnetic pollution in the air from the Internet and cell phones, it cuts you off from God.

You learn who your friends are when you find out who will lie for you.

I find that it takes a lot of years of living, and many more of reckoning, to come up with one worthwhile paragraph. And when a deadline looms, prayer doesnt hurt, either.

It was easy enough to despise the world, but decidedly difficult to find any other habitable region.

I think its nice to be able to make a product, put it out there and let other people decide what they think.

Nobody had told me I was common.

We can be lonely together

They know they're going to look beautiful, and I don't think women should look like costumes. They shouldn't look like fashion victims.

A hyperactive stock market is the pickpocket of enterprise.

A ministering angel shall my sister be.
