I had dreams, but I didn't have the sense that they would necessarily work out. They seemed very far-fetched.

We would go down to Riverside, California, which is very poor now, but that's where my grandfather grew up. He grew up during the Depression in Riverside.

I didn't know the city at all, but I was so happy to be in New York I cried. I was so excited.

I like movies about women behaving badly, because women behave badly just like men, and we're not always adorable and cute about it.

You keep learning how to let go and to live the life that you actually have, as opposed to the life you thought you were going to have.

I've never had a plan, I've always done things from instinct.

I like things that look like mistakes.

Nothing is more powerful than custom or habit.

I believe [filibustering judicial nominees] is in violation of the Constitution

I see the psychedelic experience as a birthright, and we can't have a free society until people are free to explore their own mind.
