I think we all suffer from acute blindness at times. Life is a constant journey of trying to open your eyes. I'm just beginning my journey, and my eyes aren't fully open yet.

Sometimes in my life I feel like a bit of a sorceress who can't totally control all their power. I'm a Libra, so... Libra women are pretty magical.

Any filmmaking, any film is a collaborative process. There's always a lot of people working on things together.

I can say I love working with women. Film is a man's world, and I really appreciate the opportunity to collaborate with women, especially young women.

The difference between film and theater is that in film, an actor is sort of under a magnifying glass and everything that they do, just the smallest movement, is very detectible.

The older I get and the longer I live in New York City, the more I have the desire to go elsewhere and be surrounded by nature.

I'm such a homebody. I don't party. I don't drink. That may be because I got it out all out of my system before I was 18.

I didn't have an incredibly active social life as a teenager. I always wished it was a little bit more exciting than it was.

But I loved doing the physical stuff for 'Dredd.' I have to give a shout-out to the stunt team that I worked with.

I trained in Shakespeare, and that's all comedy, even when it's tragedy.

I'm not an eye-candy kind of girl.

My children taught me the true meaning of unconditional love.

You ought to learn as best as you can.

I hasten to laugh at everything for fear of being obliged to weep.

Many talk much, and indeed well, of what Christ has done for us: but how little is spoken of what he is to do in us! and yet all that he has done for us is in reference to what he is to do in us.

Without hope of reward Provide help to others. Bear suffering alone, And share your pleasures with beggars.

If you have a dream, dont wait.Act

I try to find nice chord changes, that's how I love to start, and then I start trying to knock it into a song, knock it into shape.

What evidence do we have that states are incapable of further exercising an authority they have exercised successfully for over 200 years?

I am not given to exaggeration, and when I say a thing I mean it.

Anything that makes you happy can make you sad.
