I feel like writing songs is cheating on acting. It's weird.

I'm young. You can't just sit there and be satisfied.

I don't really start writing until later in the night. I'm a night owl.

Acting becomes my real job, writing becomes my second job, and then when I turn 50, I think I'm going to open up an interior decorating company.

I have a thing - I call it magic - but I feel like I can write stuff down in the middle of the night and wake up and it happens. I write what I want in my journal.

I'm going to become a real professional actress.

I'm not looking to be an artist to make money. I'm looking to be an artist.

I'm more than a songwriter. I'm a creative person. Some people you just always see. I won't allow you to see me unless it makes sense. There's a reason to see me.

I try to reach for the stars because if you say you want something small and it happens, you don't believe it. So I try to say something wild and crazy.

I just like to stay creative. Anything that can keep my mind going.

I'm a songwriter who just wants to bring people great songs.

The most demanding part of living a lifetime as an artist is the strict discipline of forcing oneself to work steadfastly along the nerve of one’s own most intimate sensitivity.

I love it when people are able to interpret thoughts and feelings on fabric or some kind of material.

Things happen to you they happen. They dont ask first. They dont require your permission.

The death of a single human being is too heavy a price for the vindication of any principle, however sacred.

Sometimes I write what I can't paint, and I paint what I can't write. I use a different part of the brain.

I would not take for granted that my personal life - because I knew better than anybody - that it was just a life. It was surprisingly an ordinary life.

I love planting bulbs. It is making promises with tomorrow, believing in next year and the future.

Relativity theory forced the abandonment, in principle, of absolute space and absolute time.

This is the risk: the primary word can only be spoken with the whole being. He who gives himself to it may withhold nothing of himself.

I watched Someone to Watch Over Me the other night. I thought it was a really good movie. It's a great movie.
