Throughout my life I have taken detours in acting and writing, but art remains my abiding passion.

I've always believed that one woman's success can only help another woman's success.

There's a saying I read recently; I painted it on the fireplace and in my studio: "Be kind to everyone you meet, for everyone is fighting a great battle." We all are. Everyone.

You breathe in and out; you breathe in and you breathe out, and you live one moment into the next moment, and then time goes by, and you find you're able to put one foot in front of the other.

I'm always in love. If it's not with a man, it's something else. I love beauty. I love the sky I see outside the window. There's so much beauty in the world.

You must always have great, secret, big fat hopes for yourself in love and in life. The bigger, the better.

If you've never had a mother or a father, you grow up seeking something you're never going to find, ever. You seek it in love and in people and in beauty.

To be happy--one must find one's bliss

The only thing that would ever embarrass me would be something I would write that would be badly written.

I've had many, many loves. I always feel that something wonderful is going to happen. And it always does.

...that is the best-to laugh with someone because you both think the same things are funny.

Make sure you speak out and loud enough to be heard.

Jamin knew that by morning, when he was done paying the girl in exchange for her slipping out without causing a fuss, he would be flat broke. But that did not matter. It was money well spent.

This country is armed to the teeth, and none of these African states could begin to attack South Africa.

Being happy is more important than anything else.

To be considered a celebrity, there's a certain lifestyle that comes with that.

I have never regretted erring on the side of withholding information.

The issue for us is trusting God enough to trust also His timing. If we can truly believe He has our welfare at heart, may we not let His plans unfold as He thinks best?

I must decline your invitation owing to a subsequent engagement.

I love to have fun and goof around and be silly, so anybody who can also do that is good for me.

The short words are best, and the old words, when short, are the best of all.
