I am so blessed to be able to get up in the morning and go to a job I love, with fantastic people around me.

I used to see Jim [Carrey] in comedy clubs and tell him 'This isn't going to get you anywhere. What you're good at is that nice Jimmy Stewart stuff.' Thank God he never listened.

I don't have time to worry about looking cool.

I used to wear makeup all the time when I was younger. Now I go out and I don't care.

I wish James Dean would never have died. Then he'd be fat and acting on Dynasty or something. There wouldn't be this whiny-boy act that's so prevalent everywhere.

Before I met my husband, I was just about to look into adoption.

A busy schedule can be difficult, but I have the best husband on the planet. He supports my endeavors, and we work as a team.

I admire my mother. She raised four kids and worked and had no help.

Wolves go after a wounded deer, it is the nature of the beast.

If I could dwell where Israfel hath dwelt and he where I he might not sing so wildly well a mortal melody while a bolder note then this might swell from my lyre in the sky.

I grew up on a farm - it was a lovely life; we'd make tree houses all day - and my parents worked from home.

I depart from life as from an inn, and not as from my home. [Lat., Ex vita discedo, tanquam ex hospitio, non tanquam ex domo.]

It's not about what I can get, it's what I can give.

Will we act upon life, or will we merely be acted upon?

Rich people take advice from people who are richer than they are. Poor people take advice from their friends, who are just as broke as they are.

I just like a great song. I just wanted to be this true reflection of what is in my heart and it ended up becoming my life which was kind of surreal, but I do enjoy writing for other people.

Anything can become excusable when seen from the standpoint of the result
