Making a movie is, for me, like painting. I just enjoy the care that goes into every brushstroke and the choice of every color. I enjoy the intensity of it.

Something I've noticed as I get older is that I do think about the future more. It's all positive thinking.

I'm portable. I carry a laptop and a little recording studio on my back.

I live a normal life.

I think it's really important to live in the moment.

I wasn't interested in fame or fortune. I was interested in being an actor and being creative. I was very adamant about that.

Growing up on a farm was the best. I remember loving that expanse of space. The sky at night was so clear, I could see every star.

I'm a bit hyperactive as an actor, I like to keep moving.

I'm pretty unusual for an actress in Hollywood because I am totally unselfconscious about my body.

I used to paint a lot of oil and now I paint more mixed-media stuff.

I'm always writing lyrics. I have so many lyrics on so many stray pieces of paper. Everywhere.

I am rooted in the unlimited love of the heart of the universe.

If I, being what I am, can consider that I am in some sense a Christian, why should the different vices of those people in the next pew prove that their religion is mere hypocrisy and convention?

According to Inuit culture in Greenland, a person possesses six or seven souls. The souls take the form of tiny people scattered throughout the body.

My theology, briefly, is that the universe was dictated but not signed.

I think that if you walk through this life and I end up being a bad father, then it won't matter anything else I achieved in my life. It will all be irrelevant.

Every single country that has an auto industry is stepping forward to help that auto industry. Why wouldn't we help this industry too, because it needs 3.5 million jobs.

I'm comfortable with morally gray.

There is a buddhist proverb which I like a lot. It says: "Every body deserves mercy". That means that every body is holy.

My life is nothing like my videos. I'm definitely not walking around with lots of hot women, as I am in my videos.

I think the rising and falling popularity of areas like hard SF and far-future SF is, to a considerable extent, the same as any other fashion.
