[Sexual abuse] is such a sharp, potent topic that we really should have discussions about more openly and more often.

I tend not to wear accessories. I'm not one of those gals with a drawerful of amazing jewelry. I don't even have my ears pierced! But I have one bracelet that never comes off my wrist.

We live in a world of instant gratification, the world of the quick fix.

An inspiring word for me is to think of myself as limitless.

I can see my ghost trying to get that Academy Award, forever stuck in a casting office. Can you imagine? I've spent enough time in audition rooms. I don't want to be doing that in my afterlife.

I know what I want, I want things for myself, but I think the key to life is somebody to love, something to do and something to look forward to. I don't think it's complicated.

You don’t know what a trial it is to be —like me. I've got to keep my face like steel in the street to keep men from winking at me.

I did not tell you it would be okay because I never believed it would be okay.

Everything is false, everything is possible, everything is doubtful.

We should never desire to be over others. Instead, we ought to be servants who are submissive to every human being for God's sake.

My body is a projection of my consciousness.

I've been out all over the world tranquilizing animals.

Reputation is only a candle, of wavering and uncertain flame, and easily blown out, but it is the light by which the world looks for and finds merit.

The films that I really liked and the ones that really blew my mind when I was younger were independent films. They're like great records to me.

Cake baking has to be, however innocently, one of the great culinary scams: it implies effort, it implies domestic prowess; but believe me, it's easy.

Even with the help of anti-Russian propaganda in the mass media, Germany has not succeeded in damaging this sympathy.
