I try really hard to give my kids as much independence as I can, caring mostly about their character: Are they kind? Generous? Do they work hard?

I don't have high expectations anymore. Maybe they've just been beaten out of me.

It would be really wonderful if people connected to the loneliness of what it means to be a human being in the world today.

When you get into your 40s, it's all about lighting. It's hard. You have to face whether the way you look is your self-worth or not. Once you get beyond that, it's all about what's in your heart.

I feel like my first conversation with someone, I really get a good feeling about who that person is and mainly about how open they are.

I became disconnected from the childlike play that art could be. I spent so much time fearing I wasn't good enough that I lost the sense that my artistic expression was worthy.

I really love 'Soapdish.' I wish 'Soapdish' had more of a moment because I felt that that is a really strong, funny movie. Kevin Kline is hilarious in that movie.

I bow to no beast.

My favorite place in the world is next to you.

Care less for your harvest than for how it is shared and your life will have meaning and your heart will have peace.

I just love Rome. It really does cast a spell on you.

Two of the cruelest, most primitive punishments our town deals out to those who have fallen from favor are the empty mailbox and the silent telephone.

To serve grand ideas with a major work is not bad, nor is it all there's to art.

I thought I had a type but I don't really have a type anymore. I just look for a girl who doesn't take herself too seriously.
