My ex-husband happens to be one of the most gifted moviemakers. And what is so bizarre about working with someone like that? I guess it is bizarre to be good friends with your ex-husband.

Cruelty to animals can become violence to humans.

Looking at beautiful things is what makes me the happiest.

I have always felt that the way we treat animals is a pretty good indicator of the compassion we are capable of for the human race.

I'm very touched on a deep level by cruelty to animals.

I think something will soon have to be done to protect people from hacking and blogging and lying and spreading rumors and chasing you down the street. Lives are wrecked that way.

You know, the fashion business is this legendary repository of young girls on their way to getting husbands. I really wanted to work.

I can't remember when I wasn't an animal rights activist.

The quality of my life has changed dramatically - not the events - but the way I handle them and my priorities and my sense of drama.

I'm learning how to live in the present and be grateful for what's working rather than look for the 'what's not working' piece.

I had a romantic, 'Aren't I a good girl?' take on divorce, but the truth is that was stupid.

The human conscience is reliable only when it is guided by the Holy Spirit.

Sometimes there aren't words. The silence between us is flung wide as an ocean. But I manage to reach across it, to wrap my arms around him.

Loving for beauty is like vowing a lifetime commitment to a rose. No-matter how sweet-scented or pink "petald", every rose withers.

Abuse of words has been the great instrument of sophistry and chicanery, of party, faction, and division of society.

I'm not talking to you from the point of view of wishful thinking or imaginary craziness. i'm talking to you from a deeper, basic understanding.

Individuality is either the mark of genius or the reverse. Mediocrity finds safety in standardization.

Making it [St. Patrick's Day] a great day for the Irish, but just an ok day if you're looking for a quiet tavern to talk, read or have a white wine spritzer.

All women at all ages do not feel their ages anymore. The young girl feels older, and the older woman feels younger.

I could never have thought, "I wanna play a two-headed woman." That just never would have occurred to me, in a million years.

Oh, how easy it must be to be good when one has the power of doing good!
