I love books and going to bookstores. My favorite sound is the sound of the needle hitting the record.

When you finally accept that it's OK not to have answers and it's OK not to be perfect, you realize that feeling confused is a normal part of what it is to be a human being.

You go through spells where you feel that maybe you're too sensitive for this world. I certainly felt that.

Crazy isn't being broken, or swallowing a dark secret. It's you or me, amplified.

I was very depressed after breaking off my engagement with Johnny ten years ago. I was embarrassingly dramatic at the time, but you have to remember I was only 19 years old.

There was a time when I was 19 when I really, really, really thought I was going crazy. I was exhausted and going through a terrible depression.

I've learned that it's OK to be flawed, that life can be messy, that some days you glide and some days you fall, but most important, that there are no secret answers out there.

You have good days and bad days, and depression's something that, you know, is always with you.

You can't pay enough money to... cure that feeling of being broken and confused.

I am not a person who can really sit around and think about regrets because with every bad experience that you have, there is weirdly something good that comes from it.

I was inspired by lots of people, certainly in acting and in writing and stuff, but I never wanted to be somebody else.

To be evil at all, Satan needs good things he can abuse, things like intelligence, power and will. Those good things come from God.

I had never seen a woman in such despair before. It was worse than death, it was a constant longing for death and a constant rejection of life. She lived like darkness in her own day.

Water shines under the sun. But the sun dries it. (Eau brille sous soleil - Qui pourtant l’assèche.)

I'm psyched about what I can contribute that can be meaningful to myself and to others.

Happiness and virtue rest upon each other; the best are not only the happiest, but the happiest are usually the best.

Trust me, there are as many ways of living as there are men, and one is no more fit to lead another, than a bird to lead a fish, or a fish a quadruped.

I want people to take pride in Spanish Harlem. These are people that everyone in the community could relate to... people who mean something special to us.

A king, realizing his incompetence, can either delegate or abdicate his duties. A father can do neither. If only sons could see the paradox, they would understand the dilemma.

We all know fear. But passion makes us fearless.

We all have hearts.... If you have a heart, love somebody. If you have enough heart, love everybody.
