I'm very glad that [the death penalty] hasn't existed for many years in the U.K.

The truth is, after Boys Don't Cry, I realized how few and far between the great roles are. I am beyond thankful for finding Million Dollar Baby.

This is my one and only life and it's a great and terrible and short and endless thing and none of us come out of it alive.

I grew up in a trailer park in Bellingham, Washington.

My biggest growth has been sitting with things that are uncomfortable and dealing with them.

I had teachers who I could tell didn't want to be there. And I just couldn't get inspired by someone who didn't want to be there.

I don't think people should have boundaries put on them, by themselves or society or another gender, because it's our birthright to experience life in whatever way we feel best suits us.

You can change your fate. You can sit back, or you can go after your life and all that you want it to be.

You only have one life and if you're not doing what you love, what's the point?

Few people know this about me, but I love baking pies.

There's no negatives. You just have to trust that what's happening in your life is unfolding in exactly the right way.

Having high resilience does not mean it doesn't sometimes sting.

There, in the Levantine crossroads between Europe, Africa, and Asia, the sovereign nation of Israel would exemplify what right looks like.

If you are willing to take the punishment you're halfway through the battle. That the issues may be trivial the battle ugly is another point.

If Christ be anything he must be everything. O rest not till love and faith in Jesus be the master passions of your soul!

I can't remember any regrets, to be honest with you.

After a lot of struggling and sort of reflection I realized that the time you have to give is now, regardless of how old you are.

If $85 million is not enough to take care of my family and other generations of my family, then you’re stupid.

Any information is valuable to the degree that you can use it.

When you change yourself to win someone's heart, you better be prepared to accept that this will now be your way of life forever.

So many suffer so much while so few sacrifice so little.
