Scribbling things down is my therapy. I filter later.

I play Nitin Sawhney's 'Letting Go' repeatedly, nonstop. I find it transformative. I'm so glad iPods were invented so I didn't have to drive everyone around me mad with the repetition.

I always keep myself busy. I'm writing. Or I'm creating something. Or I'm doing stuff with the kids. I'm up incredibly early in the morning; I go to bed incredibly late at night.

In terms of 'Solaris,' I didn't really think about the religious aspect an awful lot. There's one scene at a dinner party, and it's discussed, but it wasn't an overwhelming theme for me.

I have a massive divide between being a competent human being and being completely hopeless, when it comes to logic.

I think it's incumbent on actresses to bring something else to the part which isn't in the script.

My stepfather introduced me to The London Library when I was about 18; the clientele has definitely changed since then, but it is still a wonderful oasis in the middle of London.

I feel awful for women who are trying to raise kids on their own, with zero income and no fathers present - that's single motherhood.

Death is final. No it is not just final, it's worse than that, it's diminishing: the dead continue to decrease, to occupy less space.

I happen to find motherhood a very natural state, but I know a lot of other people don't.

I think my mission is to be in business so I can create a positive impact that will uplift the others around me. (p. 78)

My job is to be some sort of music/lyric psychic, to figure out that that's the right song to not fight the lyric.

I hate this idea that we, as Americans, are going to say we're going to have a sense at the border, someplace else, that - to figure out whether or not Muslims can come to the United States.

Nothing is so obvious that it's obvious.

I hate the vamp jobs. They think they're so suave. It's not enough for them to slaughter and eat you like a zombie would. No, they want to be all sexy, too. And trust me: vampires? Not. Sexy.

... true love is like religion, it hath its silence and its sanctity.

A lot of the stuff I listen to is glitchy electronic stuff and stuff with beats.

No member of the faithful could possibly deny that the Church is competent in her magisterium to interpret the natural moral law.

Our Father expects you to learn how to obtain that divine help by exercising faith in Him and His Holy Son, Jesus Christ.
