As I grow up, the lessons I learn in love and relationships and how we treat each other are hopefully maturing - hopefully.

I'm captivated by you, baby, like a firework show.

you're an expert at sorry and keeping the lines blurry

You are the only one who gets to decide what you will be remembered for.

Believe in everything you do. Believe in your mistakes and grow from them.

No matter how bad your day is, just be grateful this day is added to your life.

I still love writing in my journal and wearing sparkly dresses and looking at old chandeliers.

My job is to bring out in people what they wouldn't dare do themselves.

I do not wear my emotions on my sleeve. I was once described by my own son Stephen as an emotional ostrich.

If a man would follow, today, the teachings of the Old Testament, he would be a criminal. If he would follow strictly the teachings of the New, he would be insane.

As you get older, you suffer fools less easily. That's why there's all those cranky character actors. I'm an exception. I'm a sweetheart.
