I don't want to be the ingenue anymore. It's nice to be glamorous, but I don't want to always be an object of desire. Because it doesn't last.

I'm just a big believer in 'you must love yourself before you can love anybody else,' and I think for me that breeds the most inspired relationships.

When we live our lives everyday, we're met by opportunities, and most of us don't even recognize them.

If you feel glamorous, you definitely look glamorous.

There is nothing strange, creepy, or inappropriate about John Travolta .

I still eat a burger at a counter with ketchup dripping down my face.

I don't do damsel in distress very well. It's hard for me to play a victim.

I'm happiest when I have something to focus my energy on.

I'm very comfortable with my sexuality, my body, my face - well, sometimes I'm not comfortable with my face, but it's stuck there and there's nothing I can do about it.

I find beauty in unusual things, like hanging your head out the window or sitting on a fire escape.

It is important to remind young people that peace is the only victory.

The problem with escaping is that we leave behind us, even among those we love, different versions of the truth and everything we couldn’t bring ourselves to say.

The map of what we call reality is an ever-shifting mosaic of ideas.

Communication is an issue where we can improve, and if I can do anything to help, I am happy to.

Every morning I tell myself, 'Today has to be productive' - and then something happens that prevents me from writing.

Cooking is one of the oldest arts and one which has rendered us the most important service in civic life.

If there is any God in this world, He lives in a theatre.

Only by art can we get outside ourselves, instead of seeing only one world, our own, we see it under multiple forms.

There are these painterly things that happen while I'm working.

For a living I write stuff that I know is gonna sell to a studio and make a lot of money at the multiplex.

Even at this late date, I go into my studio, and I think 'Is this going to be it? Is it the end?' You see, nearly everything terrorizes me. When an artist loses that terror, he's through.
