IN MY NERVOUSNESS FOR THIS SPEECH AND MY MOMENTS OF DOUBT, I'VE TOLD MYSELF FIRMLY, 'IF NOT ME, WHO? IF NOT NOW, WHEN?'

IT IS TIME THAT WE ALL SEE GENDER AS A SPECTRUM INSTEAD OF TWO SETS OF OPPOSING IDEALS.

There's nothing wrong with being afraid. It's not the absence of fear, it's overcoming it. Sometimes you've got to blast through and have faith.

Both men and women should feel free to be sensitive. Both men and women should feel free to be strong... It is time that we all perceive gender on a spectrum not as two opposing sets of ideals.

Gender equality, historically has been predominantly a women's movement for women. But I think the impact of gender inequality and how it's affecting men hasn't really been addressed.

My idea of sexy is that less is more. The less you reveal the more people can wonder.

Hermione uses all these big long tongue twister words. I don't know what she's going on about half the time!

I have collections of quirky things from places I've been to, like a set of Russian dolls.

I don't have makeup on all the time, but when I want, I have fun with my friends choosing clothes and putting nail polish on.

Feeling beautiful has nothing to do with what you look like. I promise.

All I can do is follow my instincts, because I'll never please everyone.

Faith and doubt cannot exist in the same mind at the same time, for one will dispel the other.

When once thy foot enters the church, be bare. God is more there than thou: for thou art there Only by his permission. Then beware, That leads from earth to heaven.

Happiness can be thought, taught and caught... but not bought.

I write all my sermons.

What's the point in being alive if you don't at least try to do something remarkable? How very odd, to believe God gave you life, and yet not think that life asks more of you than watching TV.

I wanted to make a record that people could put on year after year after year, and it would never feel dated.

our culture is definitely the eighth grade. It's run by eighth-grade boys, and the way these boys show a girl they like her is by humiliating her and making her cry.

I don't give a damn about the civilians.

If you wish to fear nothing, consider that everything is to be feared.

If cows and horses had hands and could draw, cows would draw gods that look like cows and horses would draw gods that look like horses.
