I've overcome neglect and deprivation, abandonment and abuse.

I never dreamed that shooting a film would be so hard. There was less regulation then of child actors' hours. Even the concept of acting confused me.

I was punished for blowing the whistle on my father's lifestyle.

The more love I craved, the more distant and abusive he grew. The role I longed to play was never written into Ryan's script: daughter.

I've purged myself of bitterness and anger and remained open to love.

When someone was hitting me, or like sexually molesting me, it just seemed normal to continue to do that to myself.

Things with my dad were pretty good until I won an Academy Award. He was really loving to me until I got more attention than he did. Then he hated me.

I've triumphed over addiction.

I've overcome physical and mental brutality - and fought back.

Griffin, my brother, 11 months younger, was sometimes the victim of my father's fury - once Ryan famously knocked out his teeth.

Things get so sloppy when you're under the influence.

With a well-organized life, you have a higher chance of success and excellence in your area of calling and whatever you find yourself doing.

Journeys end in lovers meeting.

When you throw everything up in the air anything becomes possible.

As for an authentic villain the real thing the absolute the artist one rarely meets him even once in a lifetime. The ordinary bad hat is always in part a decent fellow.

Donald Trump is doing remarkably badly among non-white voters and there are lots of them in Arizona.

You know, what's interesting about Washington...It's the kind of place where second-guessing has become second-nature.

I find myself for whatever reason unable to live in the apartment I renovate and have to sell.

Girls are removing pubic hair before fully having it. They would say I feel cleaner, it's for me, but then they'd say if a boy saw pubic hair down there they'd head for the hills.

Everything that man esteems Endures a moment or a day. Love's pleasure drives his love away, The painter's brush consumes his dreams.
