I feel like I'm playing more of a role walking down the red carpet than when I'm playing an ordinary woman covered in sweat.

It doesn't matter how old you are, or what you do in your life, you never stop needing your mom.

If being crazy means living life as if it matters, then I don't mind being completely insane.

Ultimately, you just have one life. You never know unless you try. And you never get anywhere unless you ask.

I wouldn't dream of working on something that didn't make my gut rumble and my heart want to explode.

Femininity for me means happiness and freedom...freedom of being who you are in whatever shape or size you come in.

Loving someone is setting them free, letting them go.

I'd much rather be known as some curvy Kate than as some skinny stick.

Because of the person I am I won't be knocked down — ever. They can say I'm fat, I'm thin, I'm whatever, and I'll never stop. I just won't. I've got too much to do. I've too much to be happy about.

I have no regrets. If you regret things, you're sort of stepping backwards. I'm a believer in going forwards.

Life is short, and it is here to be lived.

There are no shortcuts because there is no end

There's always been anger in the making of music or literature or dance.

If you see everything through hovercams and feed stories, you wind up blind to what's right in front of you.

I haven't really written my plays and books - I've heard them. The stories are there already, singing in your genes and in your blood.

We are all in a race for dear life: that is to say, we are fugitives from death.
