I don't really get recognized.

I never get to wear a suit in my life, much less a tuxedo. It's kind of really fun to get to dress up, because you take yourself a little more seriously if you dress nice in a starched shirt.

I’m a pretty gentle person so I don’t really have much of a thing of being a badass.

I'd forgotten it's an important thing to give thought to your morality and how you intend to live your life.

Not even my excellent training at Juilliard prepared me for my first movie role, where I played a transsexual who falls in love with a military guy in 'Soldier's Girl.

A month before graduation I got an off-Broadway job. Then I did some commercials, including one for MCI. You can only see half of me, but it paid well. Thank God for commercials.

I should probably never describe myself as adorable.

I picked up reading late because I grew up dyslexic. When I went to college, a friend who was a big reader got me started on a number of writers, including Hemingway.

I tried surfing once in Brazil, but I'm kind of clumsy.

Faith is receiving a blessing before you have seen it.Wisdom is taking care of the blessing once you have received it.

To be content is to count your blessings.

Passion can’t be planned

Make your choice, adventurous Stranger, Strike the bell and bide the danger, Or wonder, till it drives you mad, What would have followed if you had.

Beyond the deepest tragedy there is laughter; even in the midst of tragedy there is always the possibility for laughter.

The message of love is self-acceptance in the smaller sense and self-acceptance in the large sense - the Self as eternity.

If you can't trust me with a choice, how can you trust me with a child?

Things just evolve. I sort of have no control over what happens with the songs. Sometimes I'm afraid I might wake up one morning with an entire record of polka songs.

You're young and dumb and quick at the tongue.

Meditation is that exercise of the mind by which it recalls a known truth,-as some kinds of creatures do their food; to be ruminated upon.
