Nicole Richie invited me to her birthday party, and it was at Michael Jackson's Neverland!

The early part of my career was the 1990s, and I was living in New York working as an actor. It was the world I was in. A lot of companies had a great deal of money.

Theres plenty of great independent films to do, but you cant support yourself making independent film as an actress.

When people are struggling, thats a painful place to be in, to not know who you are and where you belong and what you desire.

I was never that famous, but I do think going to college and really getting away from the business and taking a true break is incredibly, incredibly important if you start acting at a young age.

I know that the emotional narrative will work in the end, and I just have to play each moment honestly even if the getting from A to B doesn't totally make sense initially.

I don't think people should do things that they're not comfortable with, unless they want to stretch themselves in that way and challenge themselves.

That's something that rationally and logically I can't try to figure out, how somebody "transitions" so rapidly and so drastically, but I don't worry about it now.

I got into cooking and I went and cooked in Italy. I became a doula for a while. I built stone walls one summer, and I read a lot, and I swam a lot, and I spent a lot of time thinking.

I don't think there is anybody who's watching television right now who wants to see something because it looks good rather than feel something because it feels right or familiar or new or whatever.

Looking at somebody looking good is so... boring.

When we change our thoughts, we will change our experiences.

Work with enthusiasm.

Good friends are divine instruments.

A winner is a person, who is programmed for victory in advance

I like gardening - it's a place where I find myself when I need to lose myself.

He is indeed the 'Lamb.' There is nothing harsh or haughty or retaliative about Him.

Passiveness affects everything. It affects you on the bases and on defense. It affects your thinking. I can't be passive.

Enjoying things which are pleasant; that is not the evil; it is the reducing of our moral self to slavery by them that is.

Freedom is such a precious commodity. Yet sometimes the freest of people devalue it the most.
