I was born in Sherman Oaks, California.

I am a creature of habit.

There are no regrets in life, just lessons.

I love that feeling of being in love, the effect of having butterflies when you wake up in the morning. That is special.

I feel sexy in my jeans and wearing my boyfriend's T-shirt.

My dad became a soap opera actor, and I was an extra in a skating rink scene on the soap. I didn't audition. It was nepotism all the way.

People who do comedy are always underrated because they make it look so easy.

I guess we'd be living in a boring, perfect world if everybody wished everybody else well.

Marriage brings up all the things I pushed to the back burner - the fears, the mistrust, the doubts, the insecurities. It's like opening Pandora's box.

The greater your capacity to love, the greater your capacity to feel the pain.

Once you figure out who you are and what you love about yourself, I think it all kinda falls into place.

No one is too old to begin again.

The fates lead her who will

When I first was offered the role on Rise [of the Planet of the Apes], I always played Caesar as a human being within ape skin.

My music is simple stuff. Anybody can sit down, look at a set of symbols and produce sounds the music represents.

It is possible for love to grow and multiply if you work at it.

I simply want to reach a level where I will never cease to make progress...so that, even on the bad evenings, I may never be bad enough to despair.

I have an idea of how the book will finish up, but it very rarely finishes up the way that I think it's going to.

Small things done consistently, though undramatic, yield more than the large and sporadic.

And if you're horrible to me I'm going to write a song about you and you are not going to like it. That's how I operate.

The purpose of dharma is to help your mind to expand, to grow, to clarify. It should uphold us and create an inner sense of peace, joy, and clarity.
