One of the things I love about acting is that it reveals a certain something about yourself, but it doesn't reveal your own personal story.

I never felt like I belonged in Minnesota when I was growing up there. That's why I was out the door as soon as I turned 18.

The natural state of motherhood is unselfishness. When you become a mother, you are no longer the center of your own universe. You relinquish that position to your children.

When you learn not to want things so badly, life comes to you.

I regret those times when I've chosen the dark side. I've wasted enough time not being happy.

Moments of pure happiness...come upon you unexpectedly. Don't be too preoccupied to experience them.

Everything is transient. Everything is constantly changing. The only thing we have is now.

Don't be absent from your own life.

I've never been a sunny personality. I've never been outgoing. I'm a solitary person.

Acceptance and tolerance and forgiveness, those are life-altering lessons.

I am tortured when I am away from my family, from my children. I am horribly guilt-ridden.

I have spent my entire lifetime trying to figure out how to connect work and passion. When I finally figured it out, life became so much more beautiful!

Each generation becomes more addicted to the sedatives of life, to dull the pain of living.

Night is the sleep of seven wax mothsDawn is the singing of five mermaidsNoon is the scratching of three field miceDusk is the shadow of a crow

Well I wouldn't say that I was in the 'great' class but I had a great time while I was trying to be great.

There's an ease that I have living in Australia. The best things about Sydney are free: the sunshine's free, and the harbour's free, and the beach is free.

Everyone wants to work in America. Maybe not blockbusters or Terminator, but to have the choice.

My clothes have always been expensive. Even though I have had a few lower-priced lines over the years, little by little everything I do tends toward the luxury market.

Be guided by feeling alone. We are only simple mortals, subject to error...

Every single act of one who would lead a life of purity should be in the nature of yajna.

Love what you do...Don't settle
