It's a real gift when you find someone to share your life with.

I am a creature of habit.

There are no regrets in life, just lessons.

I love that feeling of being in love, the effect of having butterflies when you wake up in the morning. That is special.

I feel sexy in my jeans and wearing my boyfriend's T-shirt.

My dad became a soap opera actor, and I was an extra in a skating rink scene on the soap. I didn't audition. It was nepotism all the way.

People who do comedy are always underrated because they make it look so easy.

I guess we'd be living in a boring, perfect world if everybody wished everybody else well.

Marriage brings up all the things I pushed to the back burner - the fears, the mistrust, the doubts, the insecurities. It's like opening Pandora's box.

The greater your capacity to love, the greater your capacity to feel the pain.

Once you figure out who you are and what you love about yourself, I think it all kinda falls into place.

Life is but a prayer.

Pedestals aren't safe...one wrong move and a nasty tumble is sure to follow. Humility is a great grounding tool.

I never sat down and said, 'I'm going to write historical fiction with strong romantic elements.' It was just the way the stories went.

We have to achieve what we can, and if we haven't yet learned that we are not always going to get our way this could be frustrating.

There are always risks in challenging excessive police power, but the risks of not challenging it are more dangerous, even fatal.

Even as we continue to carry the banner of civil rights and environmental justice, we've also got to focus on many, many people - for them, life starts with a good job.

making final judgements about poets, cities or regions on the basis of an anthology is always dangerous: anthologies are mirages created, finally, by their editors.

I'm wary of a certain human nature. More than anything, I fear treason.

We are the buffoons of our children.

I want to look good, obviously. I don't want to look at the screen and go, Oh, my skin looks terrible, or, I look exhausted. That's why I take care of myself when I work.
