My mother is a realist, and she's had biological and adoptive children, and she said it's no different: No matter what, they're putting a stranger into your arms. You don't know them yet.

A girl told me my lips looked like somebody had pressed strawberry yogurt against my face.

Isn't it so weird the day you wake up and you're just going with the flow? And you just suddenly are a mom.

I was putting so much time and energy into just my work, but I was raised [to believe] that family comes first.

Guys are kind of retarded until they're about 30.

I was the youngest child and really spoiled. I loved to play make-believe. I loved pretending to be all kinds of different people and it just seemed natural that I would go into acting.

I haven't been to rehab, I don't do anything eccentric - I'm really boring.

I'm the most uncoordinated clumsy, klutzy person. I always had a bruise, I always tripped and fell.

I like going on location for films.

Adoption has been a part of my life and a part of my family, so it was how I wanted to start. It felt natural and right to me.

The world is still very bigoted.

There’s always music. Everywhere.

I believe that the struggle against death the unconditional and self-willed determination to live is the mode of power behind the lives and activities of all outstanding men.

I guess I would say first of all that we tend to go back to the 60s and we tend to see these struggles and these goals in a relatively static way.

Send the haters all my love. X and O.

It is better to present one image in a lifetime than to produce voluminous work. Image...that which presents an intellectual and emotional complex in an instant of time.

Each life creates endless ripples.

I have so much music inside me I'm just trying to stay afloat.

I wouldn't expect someone who's been injured to hear my side until they felt that I had fully understood the depth of their pain.

Strength enough to build a home, Time enough to hold a child, Love enough to break a heart
