If you have yet to be called an incorrigable, defiant woman, don't worry, there is still time

If you have never been called a defiant, incorrigible, impossible woman… have faith. There is yet time.

To be ourselves causes us to be exiled by many others, and yet to comply with what others want causes us to be exiled from ourselves.

Within every woman there is a wild and natural creature, a powerful force, filled with good instincts, passionate creativity, and ageless knowing.

All that you are seeking is also seeking you. If you lie still, sit still, it will find you. It has been waiting for you a long time.

People who don't respect the time you spent with them, don't know they have lost the gift of good memories.

Come back, true love! Sweet youth, return!— But time goes on, and will, unheeding, Though hands will reach, and eyes will yearn, And the wild days set true hearts bleeding.

Growing up, Paul Newman seemed like the ultimate manly actor. And then, I got to work with him and we became friends, so that was nice.

Whatever trips you make, you must still have nature in your eye.

Nothing is falser than people's preconceptions and ready-made opinions; nothing is sillier than their sham morality.

You're never happy with a tie you're trying to win. The reality is we have to come back and play tomorrow, and whatever the outcome tomorrow is, we have to come back and play again.

I want to be a freaking feminist and wear a freaking Peter Pan collar. So freaking what?
