I love comedy; so you want to make them happy, make them laugh.

And then, I do love my shopping, but actually, lounging is the big thing.

I don't like to be labeled as lonely just because I am alone.

And we live in a French Quarter a lot of the time, in New Orleans. And the camaraderie of everybody there. Everybody takes care of each other.

Youre supposed to remember, and still forgive.

And sometimes, when you feel low on yourself, that's just when you have to go out there and be photographed or do a scene where you're hot stuff. You're always working on it.

I rode fire trucks, slid down fire poles, wore a lot of red, and made a lot of appearances. I've always had a special place in my heart for fire fighters.

For a while I was living in New Orleans for like 4, 5 years. I had just come back to town.

I went through all my twenties thinking that I wasn't good enough.

I wanted to be an actress, and I wanted to be a model.

For me, it's like biking around the neighborhood, the walks and stuff, because I have never enjoyed the gym. Or I'll do, since I used to dance a lot, all the old dance exercises.

You know, it's hard work to write a book. I can't tell you how many times I really get going on an idea, then my quill breaks. Or I spill ink all over my writing tunic.

I have never been brought up a Catholic - I mean, a Roman Catholic - we're all Catholics, aren't we? We're Protestant Catholics, whether we're from Methodist or Baptist or what.

The local church is the hope of the world.

Everything I do, I do infinite percent.

Animistic savages prostrating themselves before a painted stone have always seemed to me to be nearer the truth than any Einstein or Bertrand Russell.

The past is good (as we all know), twenty, thirty years back everything was good, anyone can tell you that.

Life is beautiful, enjoy every moment of it.

All the history of human life has been a struggle between wisdom and stupidity.

Life is not about discovering our talents; it is about pushing our talents to the limit and discovering our genius.

Carefully avoid in yourself those things which distrub you in others.
