Puberty was definitely difficult for me.

If I were really really ridiculously wealthy, I wouldn’t buy a mansion, just tiny apartments in every city I love.

I remember my friends and I looking forward to puberty because it seemed exciting at first.

I can't take much pride in my childhood acting. It feels like it happened in another lifetime, and even then, it felt like a hobby.

Considering all the legal hassle child stars can be, I won't be surprised when they are phased out by CGI children voiced by adult actors.

Very sad, very upset, very glad I did not have to hear about this though Twitter. Probably going to be taking some time off it for a while.

Actually, I do like pink clothes, but it's not because I'm girly, it's because I'm the reincarnation of Oscar Wilde.

If I were to talk to Lindsay Lohan, I'd encourage her to get the hell out of acting and into something soothing. Take up botany or something.

I've always really loved stories told from the point of view of children.

If you can affect someone when they're young, you are in their heart forever.

I'd rather be known for my accomplishments, and for things that I really do take pride in, rather than known for this doll-like image I had when I was a child.

My parents grew up during the space race, and I think they imagined the future would be us living on moon bases and everyone has rocket shoes.

You just have to stand and grit your teeth and know your poll numbers are going to go down - and mine have - but you gotta grit through it because the alternative is unacceptable.

Simplicity has power. Founding our life on constructive, positive behavior is the simplest, most direct, and powerful approach I've ever found-simple, but not easy.

My kids are the most important people in the world to me.

It is not by the gray of the hair that one knows the age of the heart.

Don't wear your heart on your sleeve when your remarks are off the cuff.

I am ashamed of confessing that I have nothing to confess.

People who ponder too much about the subject of enlightenment don't progress very fast. It is interesting to know it's there, but you can't know what it's like until you get there.

Nothing which is true or beautiful or good makes complete sense in any immediate context of history; therefore we must be saved by faith.

. . . a friend . . . showed me the kitchen in her new home with the words, "This is my office." I knew what she meant. This is where I do the work I want to, the work I like and enjoy.
