I knew that I always wanted to be a filmmaker, an actor, a writer and a director, that was always my plan.

Breastfeeding should not be taboo - and bottle feeding should not be judged - it's ALL fun for the whole family.

I think that's what's great about being an actress is you get to learn so many different things like that, like learning a little bit of Tibetan here, learning a Southern accent there.

If we all just took a moment to be a little more thankful and kind to people, or smile at people, it could really change someone's day.

I think the most important manner is just general kindness. When you go to big cities, sometimes people forget to just say, "Good morning," or "How are you?"

I'm not a big heel person anyways, I'll wear them on the red carpet, but I've always been the one who loves loafers and brogues.

I felt like the dark hair added like a toughness to my face also, which was really important.

But the funny thing is, I broke my finger not on set doing kung fu. I broke my finger when I fell down the stairs prior to going on set.

I like doing accents and I like learning as much as I can learn.

I'm not a big shopper. I'm very very picky about what it is that I buy, I prefer to buy vintage and then I prefer to be very selective.

It's really the artist in me that loves the idea of an image and an image that provokes an emotion.

Because without our language, we have lost ourselves. Who are we without our words?

Successful people are always looking for opportunities to help others. Unsuccessful idiots are always asking, "What's in it for me"?

We ought all to make an effort to act on our first thoughts and let our unspoken gratitude find expression. Then there will be more sunshine in the world, and more power to work for what is good.

The American dream is not a sprint or even a marathon but a relay.

I was lucky enough not to face any required summer reading lists until I went to college. So I still think of summer as the best time to read for fun.

We must reserve a back shop all our own entirely free, in which to establish our real liberty and our principal retreat and solitude.

I just want to keep pushing things and growing, and we'll see what happens.

In many cases your imagination is much more effective than what can be shown. It primes you to know something is about to happen - the anticipation and anxiety is worse than what ends up happening.

Your mind has some clearness and capacity for right thinking; it opens towards the heights, but for its own sake, - to receive light from above for its own activity.

Matter and force are the two names of the one artist who fashions the living as well as the lifeless.
