I love when I'm writing and I'm cringing because I know I'm doing something right.

I wouldn't say that I was an actress. I tried to be an actress. I really didn't have the gift.

In a way I'm lucky because when people suggest I won't be able to do something I have no choice but to show them they are wrong. If I say I'm doing it, I'm doing it. No matter how hard it is.

When you create, it comes from this deep part of you, and your job is you, and so when you don't get heard it can feel bad and frustrating and you have to somehow keep the confidence up.

Work very very hard. This business is no joke. Make sure you know what you want or you might be taking someone else's view instead of your own.

I'm pretty sure a lot of directors would be thrilled to cast age appropriate roles. I am.

Actresses feel immense pressure to keep up. Nobody wants someone who doesn't know how to market themselves.

I work hard and support myself.

If you were to love, love not for the lust that you yearn but the rather the pain that you earn with it.

When you come to a detour, take it.

I have an issue with others ordering for me, and I spend far too long haranguing people that my choices are the best. I apologize for the amount of conversations I have ruined with this attitude.

The concept of psychic energy is easy for most people to imagine. After all, it's just one step beyond intuition - and almost everyone is comfortable with the idea of intuition.

Everybody dies. Some just need a little help.

Never worry about anything. Live in the present. Live now. Be happy.

The air itself was ebony, like the denial, the refutation, of the idea of light.

Humility is practical application of knowledge.

I had a job at a movie theater for like a year and a half and then a job at a health food store for like two years. Those were the only two jobs I ever had.

There are some Christians who totally disengage from politics and set their minds on heaven so much that their faith is so heavenly minded that it is no earthly good.
