People who avoid the brick walls - all power to ya, but we all have to hit them sometimes in order to push through to the next level, to evolve.

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.

Tree is tree.

Are you green and growing or ripe and rotting?

You are the illusion, be anything you want to be!

Look! Why want anything more marvellous than what is.

In sum, one of the primary things I learned was how to kill time. I learned also to wish away my life. I learned to give myself away.

What nourishes me also destroys me.

When I began writing, I didn't read any other children's poets... I didn't want to be influenced until I'd found my own voice. Now I read them all.

Truths open to everyone, and the claims aren't all staked yet.

We are here to influence the world rather than to be influenced by the world.

Future system busters will always seem like problem children. But the truth is, they just can't be compacted into any system, and can detect the flaws in them all.
