I am a huge Leonard Cohen person.

I don't know what my version of a relationship or marriage is yet, because the typical model seems a little broken to me.

I like to do weird things in the shower, like drink my coffee, brush my teeth and drink a smoothie. It's good time management.

I don't believe that life is linear. I think of it as circles - concentric circles that connect.

I want to be like water. I want to slip through fingers, but hold up a ship.

Everything's connected, and everything has meaning if you look for it.

There was a weird, innate kind of understanding between me and Christina (Ricci). A psychic told us we were sisters in a past life.

Listen, I've always been very headstrong.

Is there anything better than making a kid laugh?

I love things that are old and beautiful and tell a story, even if it's a sad one.

There was a sense of being taken on a journey by the grandmaster of the road trip. You feel this weird angel taking you somewhere. You don't know where, but you trust him.

To live life as anything less than love is not to live life at all.

Man's many desires are like the small metal coins he carries about in his pocket. The more he has the more they weight him down.

It was an amazing adventure, it was my dream to be in an American musical... I really hope you are going to love what you are going to see.

I am personally convinced of the great power and deep significance of Christianity, and I won't allow any other religion to be promoted.

I'm not in a contest. I make movies. I'm not a racehorse.

In love, 'tis no other than frantic desire for that which flies from us.

But alas for the dreams that round us play! / For the plans of mortal making! / And alas for the false and fickle day / That looked so fair at waking!

Respect is how to treat everyone, not just those you want to impress.

A woman seldom writes her mind but in her postscript

I scrolled on down to the obituaries. I usually read the obituaries first as there is always the happy chance that one of them will make my day.
