The answers we're looking for are all within ourselves, we just need to become better connected, more present - to what we eat, to nature, to our surroundings and to our inner guide.

Finding some quiet time in your life, I think, is hugely important.

I thought my book was done, then we went to Hawaii and the whole last chapter happened.

I use nothing but homeopathic remedies, for my girls as well.

Manhattan, though, was an entirely different ballgame in a whole different kind of world, with a man who was brilliant and at the same time terribly charismatic.

I was taken by the romanticism of being thought of as an adult and living in a world that was completely new to me. I fell in love with acting then.

If you don't step across the threshold of what you already know into the world of challenges, you never truly measure yourself.

You have to have a little faith in people.

I think that growth and spiritual awareness come in slow increments. Sometimes you don't know it's happening.

The 'Hemingway curse' was such a huge, awful thing for me to have to deal with. . . . The reality is, because there are genetic tendencies toward mental illness, you need to be aware of them.

I know the resolution. I know the end of the story before it ever begins. I must choose love. And for this, I will surely die.

I've never written jokes. I mean, I'll write things on a piece of paper and riff on them onstage.

Music is organized sound.

I found my interest lapse in both acting and racing.

And after you've done the acting, there's a lot of places you can put your input - in the editing, in the production of it, in the rewriting of it and so on

A Darwinian nation of economic fitness abhors idleness, dependence, non-productivity.
