As you get older you learn some balance and mediation in your life - that's where I am right now. I feel pretty comfortable about things.

Work is my hobby, staying sober is my job.

I took a lot of time off after Mobsters and although I did something I had never done before, which was to direct a play, The Laughter Epidemic, it felt like a vacation.

I've calmed down, certainly, from the days of being 18, but I'm still having a good time.

After I did Untamed Heart I wanted to do a film that was outrageous. I really wanted to do, you know, a performance. I don't want to allow my image to rule the choices that I make.

If you can help guide somebody through a challenging moment because you've been there, that ends up becoming a great gift.

By making sad ones happy, we find our happiness!

With the first record (2008’s Ladyhawke) I was quite naive, but very excited and happy.

It must be that evil communications corrupt good dispositions.

History has shown us that 'Get Things Done' is mindless liberal code for passing ineffective legislation and expanding government for government's sake.

You can't be a person and a lady. If you're a person, you can open the damned door yourself.

We do not view 2005 to be a clean operating year, and the positives of beating expectations are offset by guidance moving around.

It's better to get lost in the passion than to lose the passion
