I was 11 when I first said I wanted to become an actress, and everyone looked at me as if I had said I wanted to go to the moon.

My ambition is to be happy.

You cannot live your life looking at yourself from someone else's point of view.

My definition of beauty is without rules. It can be the face of a beautiful 90-year-old woman that is full of stories and emotion. Beauty is what somebody's eyes communicate.

All those cliches, those things you hear about having a baby and motherhood - all of them are true. And all of them are the most beautiful things you will ever experience.

We need to stop the dying and start the living; stop the hunger and start the hoping.

I came to Los Angeles for the first time in 1994. I spoke no English. I only knew how to say two sentences: "How are you?" and "I want to work with Johnny Depp."

Every relationship ends, until maybe you find one that lasts forever.

To have my hopes raised and dashed again, it's like cold steel twisting in my gut.

They (religions) dread the advance of science as witches do the approach of daylight and scowl on the fatal harbinger announcing the subversions of the duperies on which they live.

We must pray without tiring, for the salvation of mankind does not depend upon material success . . . but on Jesus alone.

When one has been threatened with a great injustice, one accepts a smaller as a favour.

My latest found, Heaven's last, best gift, my ever new delight!

Let us ask Mary to help us fix our eyes intently on Jesus, to follow him always, even when this is demanding.
