All my cousins steal things. Theyre just a bunch of thieves. My whole family is like that. You put something down for a second, and they steal it. You never see it again.

The early part of my career was the 1990s, and I was living in New York working as an actor. It was the world I was in. A lot of companies had a great deal of money.

Theres plenty of great independent films to do, but you cant support yourself making independent film as an actress.

When people are struggling, thats a painful place to be in, to not know who you are and where you belong and what you desire.

I was never that famous, but I do think going to college and really getting away from the business and taking a true break is incredibly, incredibly important if you start acting at a young age.

I know that the emotional narrative will work in the end, and I just have to play each moment honestly even if the getting from A to B doesn't totally make sense initially.

I don't think people should do things that they're not comfortable with, unless they want to stretch themselves in that way and challenge themselves.

That's something that rationally and logically I can't try to figure out, how somebody "transitions" so rapidly and so drastically, but I don't worry about it now.

I got into cooking and I went and cooked in Italy. I became a doula for a while. I built stone walls one summer, and I read a lot, and I swam a lot, and I spent a lot of time thinking.

I don't think there is anybody who's watching television right now who wants to see something because it looks good rather than feel something because it feels right or familiar or new or whatever.

Looking at somebody looking good is so... boring.

Belief and faith have nothing to do with each other. Beliefs are the manifestation of fear whereas faith comes from courage.

Whoever said “Success is 80% Joy and 20% Hardwork” must have chased the latter 20% not ignoring the first 80%. Follow the Joy route and the power is already lost.

I'm old, but I'm not good enough to be jaded.

Each of us has a tongue and a voice. These instruments of speech can be used destructively or employed constructively.

Treat your fiends as you do your picture and place them in their best light.

I think war is based in greed and there are huge karmic retributions that will follow. I think war is never the answer to solving any problems. The best way to solve problems is to not have enemies.

I'm not religious. I do have a baby - a four-month old girl - and that's a religion in itself.

Kourtney [Kardashian] is so freaking cute, she can wear everything.

Chastity works better if you don't keep testing it.

I am Jewish and proud of this culturally and ethnically - the ways in which I was born this way and am happy with whom I am.
