To experience life you have to kind of face a lot of fears.

For me, the biggest thing is someone who's kind. I'm not into the bad-boy thing.

After 'The Matrix,' I cannot wear sunglasses. As soon as I put them on, people recognize me.

Nobody sets the rules but you. You can design your own life.

Are you gonna fuel your faith or fuel your fear? I'm all about fueling my faith, especially when it's hard to do so.

Where it gets clear for me about the privacy issue is with my kids because they didn't choose this kind of life. I'm an incredibly open person, though - I'll tell anyone anything.

I was 30 when I did 'The Matrix.' When you turn 30, your life and your world view change. I remember feeling relieved - it was like I was seeing things in a deeper way.

I'm a very simple person. I don't use computers.

The writers are so smart, I can only imagine. I would love to be in that room. I love the creative process.

I don't believe in being typecast. If I believed it, it probably would have happened to me. You attract what you make.

Sometimes words are not enough. There are some circumstances so utterly wretched that I cannot describe them in sentences or paragraphs or even a whole series of books.

To some of us, hunger was more academic than real, but we must try to develop the ability to feel the urgency of such a situation.

Vitality is a woman is a blind fury of creation.

First come, first served.

If we want the most effective fighting force, we need to pick the most qualified capable man for the job, even if it's a woman.

Our goal, as Christians, is to dominate society

It is the act of a coward to wish for death.

And in that moment, I swear we were infinite.

This early piece of the morning is mine.
