My mom was [a hippie]. We weren't allowed sugar cereal. We weren't allowed processed foods - except Van de Kamp's fish sticks. We never locked the front door.

Being willing to suffer often brings great rewards.

You've got to love this business. You have to be able to take rejection.

I'm not squeamish at all. As a child I dragged a dead squirrel home on my skateboard and cut it open and tried to look at its brain.

Smile… Even when your life is at its worst, you never know when you’ll meet the one who takes your breath away!

I was never one of those girls who dreamt of Prince Charming. To piss off my mom, I would say, 'I'm never having kids and I'm going to be a fabulously rich old maid with cute butlers and dogs.'

Being someone I'm not for a period of time and loving every minute of being in someone else's skin.

I've been involved with sports my whole life, which made clothes and makeup and handbags not that important as a kid. I just didn't care.

There is so much pressure to look a certain way in this town. But it's nice to have a little meat on you, and I hope I inspire women to appreciate their muscular calves.

I think I could drink my own blood. Is that weird?

I celebrate my spirit with joy and playful abandon.

There is a difference between being able to love and believing your love is valuable, worth giving away.

Do not ask questions until you have trained yourself not to know the answers.

Cure for an obsession: get another one.

Women have invented nothing in all that, except the men who were born as male babies and grew up to be men big enough to be killed fighting.

There was very little international support, even England wouldn't support [bombing of Syria], which is amazing.

We might remember ... not to fear death; it is the only way to be cleansed.

The only time you really live fully is from thirty to sixty. The young are slaves to dreams; the old servants of regrets. Only the middle-aged have all their five senses in the keeping of their wits.

People's love of sweets and guilty feelings about overindulgence are pretty universal.
