When I'm working I don't have room to think about myself and my own issues. It's really freeing. There is no room for me, which is really nice.

I'd love to get pajamas. Good, nice and warm flannel ones.

I don't think you can create anything interesting from a comfort zone. You have to work from a place of fear and failure.

If they ever do my life story, whoever plays me needs lots of hair color and high heels.

I think, like many women, I was judgmental toward women as they aged.

I don't believe in charmed lives. I think that tragedy is part of the lesson you learn to lift yourself up, to pick yourself up and to move on.

When a person lives a very happy life they become beautiful.

I love being a woman and I love being feminine.

We all understand situations where it's swim or drown. Sometimes we surprise ourselves when we start swimming and see how well we can do it.

You choose the life you want for yourself, and then you just shut up and go about it. That's how I've lived my life.

What I know in my heart is that women and girls on the ground are powerful and that they are leaders.

Wise men, when in doubt whether to speak or to keep quiet, give themselves the benefit of the doubt, and remain silent.

The pleasures of living is loving!

Did you stand there in shock at the sight of that black smoke risin' against that blue sky? Did you shout out in anger, in fear of your neighbor or did you just sit down and cry?..

Unlike a lot of actors, my father encouraged all his kids to go into show business.

There was no time for bitterness now: eat bitterness, and bitterness eats you.

A Rick Santorum presidency would be very, very dangerous for America.

I want to be fulfilled in myself, rather than try to follow exactly in my father's footsteps.
