It's part of the celebrity process but my life has never been as interesting or as wild as what's been printed about me.

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 am not a person who can really sit around and think about regrets because with every bad experience that you have, there is weirdly something good that comes from it.

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

Nothing stands still, except in our memory.

I believe that tomorrow never exist, until we make a day called today.

As a Humanist, I love science. I hate superstition, which could never have given us A-bombs.

There's nothing better than finishing something and looking at it. Whether it be a script or a movie, it's this complete little thing that now exists and is hopefully immortal.

The nature of the South is changing faster than the stereotypes are. Much of the South now looks like San Jose. Is it still southern?

My horses understand me tolerably well; I converse with them at least four hours every day. They are strangers to bridle or saddle; they live in great amity with me, and friendship of each other.

I just want some space to myself every now and then. Every time I’m with you I have this sense that you want something from me.

The "end of history" has been proclaimed many times, always falsely.

Painting is not made to decorate apartments. It's an offensive and defensive weapon against the enemy. (about Guernica).

There are not many English novels which deserve to be called great: Parade's End is one of them.
