I'm a woman trying to balance family, work and friends like so many others out there.

One thing leads to the other. Deforestation leads to climate change, which leads to ecosystem losses, which negatively impacts our livelihoods - it's a vicious cycle.

The more you trust your intuition, the more empowered you become, the stronger you become, and the happier you become.

I'm one of these people that likes adrenaline and new things, like extreme sports. It makes me feel alive.

My dream was to be either a volleyball player or a veterinarian.

I believe in taking chances and living your life. Sometimes doors open and others close and you have to figure out which one you're going to take. I'm always for the one that's challenging.

If you are happy, you can give happiness. If you don't love yourself and if you are unhappy with yourself, you can't give anything else but that.

It was my first scene. My first day. We could have started with me drinking a beer, something a little less than having Barbies touching each other. But they started with that.

Beauty is something inside of us. If you love yourself and accept yourself, that shows on the outside. Beauty is an act-it's how you carry yourself.

I'm a very private person. I like staying home and doing my stuff. I hate people invading on my privacy. I hate talking about my private life.

When I was a teenager, I had pimples - oh, God, every time someone looked at my face I thought they were looking at my pimples. I put mud on my face to dry them out, and it worked.

We have our Arts so we won't die of Truth

Passion is the fuel that will keep us joyfully fulfilling our purpose.

No great power is ever satisfied with its sphere of influence. They never are.

One of the trials of life is that we do not usually receive immediately the full blessing for righteousness or the full cursing for wickedness.

It surprises me how much children like me, you know? If they look at me as an example, I have a big responsibility.

I think that most of the candidates [for presidency] can't run the railroad, and I still worry that whoever gets elected will have policies designed for political rather than practical reasons.

There's just this for consolation: an hour here or there when our lives seem, against all odds and expectations, to burst open and give us everything we've ever imagined.

If you really wanted to settle down the Middle East, if what you wanted was change in the Middle East, it is perfectly obvious that the first step is resolving the Israeli/Palestinian conflict.

I am the least jealous person I have ever met.

I'm kind of the boss. I could fire myself if I ever got out of line, and I can hire myself too which is a good thing. It gives me a responsibility to the financial realities.
