I don't want to put a pause on the rest of my life; I'm really enjoying getting older and the wisdom that comes from that.

In real life, I don't fall in love with the guy who wines and dines me, I fall in love with the flaws and the humanity.

I like exploring both the light parts and the dark parts of a single person. And all of those shades tend to come out most acutely in stories about families.

I kind of moved out of the town I grew up in as quick as I could. I left right after high school.

I'm always studying something or trying to learn something, keep myself creatively occupied, because I think that energy can get kind of destructive if it doesn't have somewhere to go.

We have our whole lives to try and get a glimpse of what that could be, in our own life. It's so exciting.

And I think a lot of us have fantasies of going back to where we're from, or when we do go back we're so nostalgic about it.

I read something about, "Why do actresses get plastic surgery," we like to look at pretty people, but I don't. I like to look at all faces, young, old.

Actors are always weird about acting with their spouse or their boyfriend or girlfriend, but more because they think audiences will find it boring.

I feel lucky to be an actor because you always learn something from each part you play.

You will know those who love you, when you are in need.

Where do we record the passing of wildlife? Who mourns the silent deaths of the small?

To regain her lost power the Church must see heaven opened and have a transforming vision of God.

How hard it is to have the beautiful interdependence of marriage and yet be strong in oneself alone.

I think baseball has moved on in many ways and the focus on the competitions on the field is really what the game is all about. It seems to be healthy. It seems more people are watching it.

If the Church is a living body united to the same head, governed by the same laws, and pervaded by the same Spirit, it is impossible that one part should be independent of all the rest.

The past is only so heroic as we see it. It is the canvas on which our idea of heroism is painted, and so, in one sense, the dim prospectus of our future field.

America has a critical place to play in the end of extreme poverty.

The truth I know for sure is that god is the creator of all things. And to not take ourselves too seriously.

Love is more powerful, love gives life, love makes hope blossom in the wilderness.
