If something brilliant comes along but I really feel like it's too old for me - that I'm not gonna have the experience it takes - I'm not gonna do it. Even if it's "a big mistake for my career".

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

It is no loss to mankind when one writer decides to call it a day. When a tree falls in the forest, who cares but the monkeys?

I just want a friend who “gets” me and then wants to keep me—flaws and all.

Lady Bracknell, I hate to seem inquisitive, but would you kindly inform me who I am?

You and me, " I said, "we both got the same kind of hurt inside us."She nodded, and suddenly, just like that, I knew I could trust her with my life.

Careful had never really been her style.

We know what we are, but know not what we may be.

In the 21st century, I believe the mission of the United Nations will be defined by a new, more profound awareness of the sanctity and dignity of every human life, regardless of race or religion.

I think guitarists are really over-admired and over-revered.

Take the time to discover how African-Americans have had a great impact on this country. In science, education, literature, art, and politics.

Everybody who is an actor has been acting since they were three.
