Through theater and acting school, I found a way to articulate myself.

Acting is really about having the courage to fail in front of people.

In the military, you learn the essence of people. You see so many examples of self-sacrifice and moral courage. In the rest of life you don't get that many opportunities to be sure of your friends.

If I'm not doing something or working on something, I literally just sit in the room and think, which I don't think is productive. I won't go outside for days.

For me, becoming a man had a lot to do with learning communication, and I learned about that by acting.

I feel like I'll never get over red carpets. They're so bizarre and awkward.

I have a control problem. I hate the feeling of not being in control.

It's hard to kill that father-son bond.

I loved being in the Marine Corps, I loved my job in the Marine Corps, and I loved the people I served with. It's one of the best things I've had a chance to do.

I used to eat a whole chicken every day, for lunch. I did that for four years. But it got tiring - go to the store, buy it, eat it. It’s a mess.

Acting, to me, has been many things: It's a business, and it's a craft, and it's a political act - it's whatever adjective is most applicable.

This is a battlefield, Faith! Women find themselves on battlefields, just as men do. We are given no weapons, and cannot be seen to fight. But fight we must, or perish.

Setting a goal is like to set your destination point in your life GPS which could take you to your desire position as you dreamed about...

Nothing ever happens by chance; everything is pushed from behind.

Right before I met my husband, I always felt as if the party was happening somewhere else. And once I met him and we had our children, I was like, 'This is where the party is.'

If you've got an idea, start today. There's no better time than now to get going.

Communism is inequality, but not as property is. Property is exploitation of the weak by the strong. Communism is exploitation of the strong by the weak.

Ive always been very visceral in that I feel things very deeply.

If you're not working to get your business or investing operation to operate without you, you're thinking too small. Think team and systems.

Brave hearts do not back down back off.

Political convulsions, like geological upheavings usher in new epochs of the world's progress.
