In my life, I've never really listened to when people start forming opinions on how you should be doing things.

I seize all opportunities with two hands. Everything that's happened to me has taught me to live in the moment as much as possible.

I wanted to become an artist because it meant endless possibilities. Art was a way of reinventing myself.

I often joke that I straddle psychosis and neurosis, and that being an artist keeps me in the middle, so I can work between the two.

I love karaoke. I love maudlin country ballads. In another life I'd be Loretta Lynn.

I find that I put my body in my work when I am at a particularly difficult or joyous point because I want to feel that moment.

I never thought of having cancer as something that was unfair. I just braced myself and tried to get through it.

I've made lots of big decisions in my life that have shocked people.

I've always lived my life fearlessly, and what I want to do with my life, I do.

I took on cancer like I take on everything - like a mission and a job to accomplish.

Daniel Day-Lewis is one of the greatest actors of our age; he's like Olivier. He's one of those people who can take you into a place where no one else can take you.

Some people, no matter how easy the path they are given on the walk of life, will find a way to mess it all up. Ray Levine was one of those people.

DON'T DIE FOR ANYONE!!! You should rather live to love someone than die to prove it.

Oh my Father if it be possible let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will but as thou wilt.

When the Christian faith becomes defined by who we are and what we do and not by who Christ is and what he did for us, we miss the gospel - and we, ironically, become more disobedient.

Grace is free, but when once you take it, you are bound forever to the Giver and bound to catch the spirit of the Giver.

The tragic element in poetry is like Saturn in alchemy, — the Malevolent, the Destroyer of Nature ; but without it no true Aurum Potabile, or Elixir of Life, can be made.

I am very clear that when I work with a director what he or she says is the last word.

I call myself a Peaceful Warrior... because the battles we fight are on the inside.

A woman's fitness comes by fits.

You have made some mistakes and you may not be where you want to be, but that has nothing to do with your future.
