Rejection just motivates me to keep trying and to try to do better.

What one person sees as degrading and disgusting and bad for women might make some women feel empowered and beautiful and strong.

We do have a distorted view of our fantasies in society, but that's because we don't talk about them enough.

I don't believe in a God. I don't believe in any of that stuff to determine my life or my goals or my direction. I just depend on myself.

I am an actor. I am an artist. I am a daughter. I am a sister. I am a partner. I have a past that some people may not agree with, but it does not define who I am.

We should not think of conversion as the acceptance of a particular creed, but as a change of heart.

Technological advances could allow us to see more clearly into our own lives.

In a world where the great technologies enable us to record, replay, cut and paste, zoom in, and delete, listening is the crucial commitment to keep the heart touchable.

I have criticized absent people so often, and then discovered, to my humiliation, that I was talking with their relatives, that I have grown superstitious about that sort of thing and dropped it.

Violence is always the last option, but if that time comes, it is the only option.
