I live my life because I dare. I dare to show up when everyone else might hide their faces and hide their bodies in shame.

Personally, it’s rude. You got three kids with the lady, she just did 17 years for you and you’re not gonna leave your...whatever!

If they hadn’t tried to break me down, I wouldn’t know that I’m unbreakable.

It doesn't have anything to do with how the world perceives you. What matters is what you see.

I didn't want to be an actress at all, or famous even. I certainly enjoy acting now, absolutely. Time will tell whether or not I enjoy fame.

I don't know any teenager with a positive attitude.

I learned to love myself, because I sleep with myself every night and I wake up with myself every morning, and if I don't like myself, there's no reason to even live the life.

My beauty is dark chocolate and it's delicious and it's sweet.

One day I decided that I was beautiful, and so I carried out my life as if I was a beautiful girl.

One day I had to sit down with myself and decide that I loved myself no matter what my body looked like and what other people thought about my body. I got tired of hating myself.

I was born to stand out. I don't care whether or not people will find me attractive on screen. That's not why I became an actor. I know that more and more with each new role.

Atheism is a lack of belief...what about the powers of darkness, and that of light, will you trace both to nothing? Then you must have created yourself.

Well, the wonderful thing about making movies, oddly enough, is that they're sort of highly motivated graduate studies in one or another field.

My mother was sarcastic and delightful and, trust me, quite remarkable.

The difference between screwing around and science is writing it down.

I'd quite like to have one place where I stay put. And I don't like living in cities all the time. In order to have ideas, you have to have some peace and quiet.

I just think everyone needs their own private space.

All numbers are multiples of one, all sciences converge to a common point, all wisdom comes out of one center, and the number of wisdom is one.

A wise man's heart directs him toward the right, but a foolish man's heart directs him toward the left.

The mightier any is in the word, the more mighty he will be in prayer.
