I was on Stealing Beauty in 1996 and then I started feeling acting was something I wanted to do forever. It made me feel like I'll still be looking for parts when I'm 70 years old.

I cried on my 18th birthday. I thought 17 was such a nice age. You're young enough to get away with things, but you're old enough, too.

There is no definition of beauty, but when you can see someone's spirit coming through, something unexplainable, that's beautiful to me.

Oh, my God, this amazing cool breeze is coming through my window and the sun is shining. I'm happy.

I love my dad, although I'm definitely critical of him sometimes, like when his pants are too tight. But I love him so much and I try to be really supportive of him.

Beauty comes from the happiness within.

I love to go shopping at Target. They have so much stuff there, you can buy almost anything, it's really amazing.

I would rather share one lifetime with you than face all the ages of this world alone.

Solitude has its own very strange beauty to it.

I've sung my whole life. I've taken lots of voice lessons and I love to sing. But I've never really sung professionally at all.

Hopefully, I can continue to do anything I want. I just want to do things that I'm passionate about in this life.

I am not convinced within myself that to its core and as a whole, humanity has, as some like to assume, progressed a great deal over the millennia. Human technology? Of course. Human beings? Hardly.

I was born a strong, powerful woman, but was raised to be a victim.

I have hardly anything in common with myself and should stand very quietly in a corner, content that I can breathe.

I don't think Michael Bloomberg would say that his greatest skill is delivering the speech. He would say he's more of a nuts-and-bolts mayor-picking up the trash, dealing with the school system.

But there's a big difference between, say, reporting on a story and simply making up a story.

Waiting and hoping are the whole of life, and as soon as a dream is realized it is destroyed.

If you give a man a hammer, he thinks he can solve all problems by pounding. Well, God gave men penises.

I had to smile at the man. I mean, you have to smile at idiots and children.

We read fine things but never feel them to the full until we have gone the same steps as the author.

There are no unbeatable odds, there are no believable gods.
