I'm very much a hippie from Northern California.

I can't even open my eyes underwater.

I always say I am a realist, and my mom says, "No, you just have anxiety."

If you don't fully take every moment and love every moment and every person that you're with, your life will be over before you realise.

I feel like the bigger risks that I take, the more I learn. I know that I learn more from my failures than successes.

You know, it's recently come into focus for me why I want to be an actor: It's because of the connection I feel to people.

We need more points of view from women and we need more support for female directors and writers in the industry.

I think that with any emotion - fear, love, nervousness - if the actor's feeling it, then the audience feels it.

I think both nature and grace live within everyone, and I always strive to be in a world of grace and compassion.

If someone does something bad to you, you do something worse to them so they never mess with you again.

Put others before yourself, unselfish love, do unto others as you would have done to you.

True love is not in possessions or obsessions

Because that which was new was almost always temporary. And that which was temporary broke your heart.

Learn to commit every situation to God, and trust Him for the outcome. God's love for you never changes, no matter what problems you face or how unsettled life becomes.

I have three daughters. I wanted them to be raised where there are real seasons and where everyone their age wasn't trying to get into movies.

The Israeli people must be free to live in peace and security.

Surefire things are deadening to the human spirit.

Why talk when you can paint?

It doesn't matter who you are or where you come from - if you put quality work out there, it will be appreciated.

I believe that being dependent makes you more vulnerable. I believe work is the greatest gift you will ever receive.

It is not known precisely where angels dwell whether in the air, the void, or the planets. It has not been God's pleasure that we should be informed of their abode.
