I almost envy people who say whatever they want.

At the time, when you're being dissected and judged it's pretty brutal, but in hindsight it's great and - it sounds cliched - you do come out the other side better and stronger.

I hold theatre acting in such high esteem that it scares me.

I can't deal with someone flashy. That's so not me.

I keep everything that's private private.

You have to have confidence. You can't be someone who's so insecure that she's a basket case.

It's so different when you change your hair color, you're treated so differently. It's a very funny experience. It's fun, I love changing up my hair.

That's the funniest thing about portraying certain things on screen, sitting next to your parents and they get to see this glimpse of me kissing another guy.

It's sort of interesting how, when you get older, things that were once so important sort of fall away.

You promote your films; it's part of your job. You do the magazine covers and stuff, and then I try to live a really normal life. I definitely don't try to make it into any more craziness than it is.

I like somebody who's not so crazy but likes to have a good time... and who is thoughtful and kind and easy to laugh with. Somebody you can just be yourself with one hundred and fifty percent.

We must be content to grow slowly. Most of us will still barely be at the beginning of our recovery by the time we die. But that is better than killing ourselves pretending to be healthy.

Keep reminding yourself that literature is one of the saddest roads that leads to everything.

We were two throats and one eye and we had no price.

The sanctification of political power by Christianity is blasphemy

It could be said that going to church will not make one a Christian. But . . . refusing to fellowship with believers will not make you one either.

One truth discovered one pang of regret at not being able to express it is better than all the fluency and flippancy in the world.

Life is never fair, and perhaps it is a good thing for most of us that it is not.

I always think in life passion supersedes everything.

I practice self-control and staying active. Running round the kitchen keeps me moving.
