If you just think Donnie Darkos a weird movie, you don't want to think. You don't want to feel your feelings. So yeah, I do want to shake 'em up.

I love smoking. I miss it every day of my life. If I found out that it didn't cause cancer, I would go out and buy, like, eight cartons right now.

The Coens both give you direction, and then it's up to you to kind of figure out the music of what they're saying.

As much as I love being an artist, I love being a mom even more.

I built a career on my archetype, and I'm grateful, but I'm trying to stretch.

I'm ready to do some classics. Maybe I wasn't in the beginning. I weighed 179 pounds when I got to New York, and I had that thick Southern accent. I still talk Southern, but I can do without it.

At Rain Man, I was 38. And before that, I had really just started working when I was 36. I was very late. So I've got time, right? As long as I stay healthy and eat right.

I've died so many times in so many movies. What is it about my face that people want to kill it? I'm sure they would've killed Kitty Farmer if they could've!

There's always that key to every character that lets you go to those places you need to go to. No matter how much you might hate the character, it makes you understand it.

Stop giving meaningless praise and start giving meaningful action.

One chance missing, makes losing more chances.

The kingdom comes when Jesus becomes king of your life. But it has to be your life.

My ideas were confused. In a peculiar way, the unreality of the outer world appeared to be an extension of my own disturbed state of mind.

Luck relies on chance, labor on character.

Of course the law's not racist.

His mind was indeed my library, and whenever it was opened to me, I entered bliss.

To me, I learned along the way, you know, culture is behavior. That's all it is; culture is people's behaviors.

Vaccines save lives; fear endangers them. It's a simple message parents need to keep hearing.
