I think I really scored with my parents. All of my friends pretty much came from broken homes, and my parents are still together, but not only that, they're still in love and still write together.

When you finally accept that it's OK not to have answers and it's OK not to be perfect, you realize that feeling confused is a normal part of what it is to be a human being.

You go through spells where you feel that maybe you're too sensitive for this world. I certainly felt that.

Crazy isn't being broken, or swallowing a dark secret. It's you or me, amplified.

I was very depressed after breaking off my engagement with Johnny ten years ago. I was embarrassingly dramatic at the time, but you have to remember I was only 19 years old.

There was a time when I was 19 when I really, really, really thought I was going crazy. I was exhausted and going through a terrible depression.

I've learned that it's OK to be flawed, that life can be messy, that some days you glide and some days you fall, but most important, that there are no secret answers out there.

You have good days and bad days, and depression's something that, you know, is always with you.

You can't pay enough money to... cure that feeling of being broken and confused.

I am not a person who can really sit around and think about regrets because with every bad experience that you have, there is weirdly something good that comes from it.

I was inspired by lots of people, certainly in acting and in writing and stuff, but I never wanted to be somebody else.

You only become truly rich the day you possess something that money cannot buy.

You rang my heart like a church bell at midnight. Trembling, I awoke to the sweet sound of love.

You can't answer violence with counter violence ... The answer is love. The best sabotage is love.

Nothing gets you to mend your heart quicker than throwing yourself into work.

Pride is essentially competitive in nature. We pit our will against God's.

Whoever has character also has his typical experience, which returns over and over again.

I believe that there's no improvement if you have an inferiority complex and victim mentality.

A mother is the portal by which you enter the world.

I've always had a lot of respect from the people I respected.
