I regret that I wasn't the kind of person who could enjoy celebrity. It embarrassed me too much.

It's quite hard for me being an actress because I actually don't like attention

I basically put myself into directors' hands and let them tell me what to do, and the more they told me what to do, the more I liked it.

Happiness is the absence of suffering. I think it's an interesting way of looking at it. I think the absence of suffering exists very rarely in the world we live in.

The status quo and the media is doing everything it can to fry children's brains and make them grow up maladjusted.

Some people enjoy celebrity. I admire those who do, because if you're going to go through it, you might as well enjoy it.

I was born with a need to be the center of attention, and, of course, you're the center of the world when you're acting

I craved to make my faith as real as possible, which meant being recklessly honest in His presence.

It's all connected you know

Every time you shift a blame on what you could have taken responsibility for, you deny yourself an opportunity to learn and grow.

In school all I wanted to do was build technology. That's what I loved.

America’s one of the finest countries anyone ever stole.

The trouble with modern education is you never know how ignorant they are.

Miracles have a purpose. Miracles help people believe in enlightenment. The real miracle is the transformation of consciousness from limitation and pain to enlightenment and ecstasy.

Your soul can fly outward, stringed to your ribcage like a shimmering kite in the shape of an open hand. Be still and listen to the evidence of your own holiness.

No dream ever entirely disappears. Somewhere it troubles some unfortunate person and some day, when that person has been sufficiently troubled, it will be reproduced on the lot.

I have an ugly day every month; pimples on my face, I'm fat and in a bad mood. It's more like an ugly week!
