My grandmother is this amazingly theatrical woman. She acted like a movie star, as far as looks and attitude, kind of like Susan Hayward.

Black eyeliner says 'You've been through stuff, you know things'.

I watch soap operas. I bake brownies. Normalcy is coursing through my veins.

I would like a nice, powerful, mind-altering substance. Preferably one that will make my unborn children grow gills.

I like soap opera acting. If it's done really well, there's nothing better. It's old school. It's like what those melodramas in the '30s and '40s were like

But it's fun to be something, have that, and you don't have to be real. It's like, comedians. They go on and they're doing all these jokes. I would be like that if I were more awake

Harmony can be achieved within through meditation, which increases overall well-being and function.

If a woman does not want she actually wants, if she wants she certainly wants it!

Contentment is wanting what you have. Ambition is wanting what another has. Progress comes from wanting what nobody has.

There is far more danger of harm than there is hope of good in any radical changes.

A good mother loves fiercely but ultimately brings up her children to thrive without her.

Praying is the most important thing you will do on any day

The conviction that everything that happens on earth must be comprehensible to man can lead to interpreting history by commonplaces.

Fabio kept asking me out, but I knew we'd never get his ego through the door.

We spend precious hours fearing the inevitable. It would be wise to use that time adoring our families, cherishing our friends and living our lives.

I profoundly believe it takes a lot of practice to become a moral slob.
