Blood doesn't make a family.

My experiences have taught me a lot and I'm happy with my learnings, if not with what I went through to learn.

When you grow up, your heart dies.

Hollywood is the definition of sexual discrimination.

I have the desire to work as an actress, but I have no ambition to be a star.

The fact is, I can have any experience of life I want. I don't have to choose any one thing or act in any one way to define myself as a woman now. I am one.

But the fact is, nobody gets off drugs unless they really want to, and I really wanted to.

It is worth it to me to know I have succeeded based on my abilities and not on my looks or any 'connections.' I've tried not to embody destructive female images in my work.

I think everybody has the ability to fall in love with a man or with a woman or a white person or a black person or a Jewish person or a Protestant person or whatever.

I think that acting involves doing your job so well that you are able to help the viewer identify with the character.

Everybody likes to gossip. But it can be a little scary to have people knowing secrets about me when I don't know anything about them. It's not exactly a two-way street there.

Livvy and me together in an elevator for four hours..and we're good. To some eyes the fact that we're both alive could be viewed as a minor miracle.

What good are images if people understand them?

When you get performance slots for award shows - that's a big deal for me.

The grass isn't always greener on the other side. I start off kind of in love and then I leave love and I'm single.

The fundamental reason why Medicare is failing is why the Soviet Union failed - socialism doesn't work.

All of the great geniuses of the world were inspired and driven by their desire to enrich the lives of others.

If we love Jesus, we shall be loved in return by Him, and that is perfect happiness.

What you think is the summit is only a step up

I do believe that Christians - I don't identify as a Christian. I believe in God.
