I just didn't work that much while the kids were growing up.

I wasn't very good about juggling family and my career. I was interested in who was coming to the children's birthday party, what my son was writing. I was thinking about Legos.

I like to run, to go down the stairs, I'm one of those kind of people.

I came from dinner, went downtown with my friends, the elevator was down, I ran down the hall toward my room at 10 at night, having had two glasses of wine.

I want to be an actress, not a personality.

I don't like sitting around in my dressing room very much. It feels a lot like theater.

Well, this would be nice if it worked out, but I'm not selling the farm.

People always seem to see echoes of their own lives in my films.

What bugs me is that movies don't reflect how interesting and vibrant women are. We don't treasure women as they get older.

You [as a president] have to have a strong team around you. You have to have respect for institutions and the process to make good decisions because you are inherently reliant on other folks.

And who am I? That's one secret I'll never tell...You know you love me. XOXO, Gossip Girl

We're all ordinary in a way. We can all be hurt. We can all be unbalanced. We all have feelings. Life can treat us harshly, even shockingly sometimes.

When God overcomes our difficulties for us, we have the assurance that we are engaged in His work and not our own

To be looked upon as a fool by an idiot is a true connoisseur's delight.

In spiritual maturity, the opposite of injustice is not justice but compassion.

When you finish reading a script and you realise that you didn't think of anything else, that you were just focusing on the script and were caught up in the story, then that's when I am amazed.

Psychological breakdowns are actually breakthroughs to enlightenment.
