My experience is that many things are not as bad as I thought they would be.

How can you hear your soul if everyone is talking?

Love is a debt, she thought. When the bill comes, you pay in grief.

God's got a lot of explaining to do. Of course, God never explains. When life breaks your heart, you're just supposed to pick up the pieces and start all over, I guess.

Real leaders can change the world, but the world will not change real leaders.

Knowing themselves to be faultless, they make it their mission to detect the myriad faults in others, against which they wage incessant tongue.

I guess it's nice to know I still resonate in people's minds.

I see compassion may become a justice, though it be a weakness, I confess, and nearer a vice than a virtue.

I am overcome by my own amazing sloth...Can you please forgive me and believe that it is really because I want to do something well that I don't do it at all?

I am still fighting to make the world a better place and you can, too.

We should all do something to right the wrongs that we see and not just complain about them.

When I was 13, 14, 15, I had played in a couple of jazz ensembles. I didn't know anything about harmony, about II-V-I, though I had learned my scales with Caesar [DiMauro].

I started doing roles and working with people that I really respected and became passionate about the art form of acting. And I'm still trying to figure it out. Still learning.

Everybody has a story. And there's something to be learned from every experience.
