I have to meditate before I go to bed, always. I have to let the day go and let the eternal in.

You gotta love yourself, because when you're hurting - you never know who's gonna be around to do the lovin' for ya. You gotta love yourself through the pain.

I think true beauty is everywhere. Be it. See it. Notice it. Love it. Be grateful for it. Marvel at it. It's everywhere. It's all around us all the time.

There's a lot of life on the planet that needs love, wants love, deserves love, in whatever capacity we are able.

Nothing is all good or all bad, nothing is black or white, everything is just messy and human and difficult.

I have to welcome the pain like I welcome the joy.

I feel it is a blessing, a duty, an honor, that we give the love that we have, and we share the lives that we have with our fullest heart.

If I'm feeling hurt, sad, lonely, depressed, and then I shame myself for feeling that, then that's a black hole for me. I really have worked a lot to meet pain with both gratitude and gentleness.

'Notorious' is a masterwork. I can watch it every day.

When I am holding a water balloon, so many things look so unnecessarily dry.

When there's nothing to do, you do nothing slowly and intently.

Acting is actually private.

You didn't realize emotion could be a weapon? Have you not read the poetry of Jewel?

Everything comes at a price. Everthing in your life. The question you have to ask yourself is, what price are you willing to pay?

Train people well enough so they can leave, treat them well enough so they don't want to.

I believe, in my prime, I could have fought with anybody alive.
