When I was little, I think that I wanted Superman to be my boyfriend.

I've always hated criminals and crime. Life is hard enough without someone walking into your life on purpose and making it worse.

My whole goal was to be able to work in television and film and maintain a normal life, never be in a tabloid.

I love math. I have little secret number tattoos everywhere. I design them.

Personally, I am a church-going Christian. I love my church, my congregation; it's my favorite place to be.

Love is a big word. I believe in Love. I believe that God is Love.

I started out as a writer. Poetry and prose and also kind of satirical David Sedaris-esque stuff.

I grew up in the Deep South, where sexism, racism, and homophobia were and still are alive and well. I have early, early memories of words and actions of this type being very painful.

When I was in N.Y. bartending, I was in a billion music videos. I was in Madonna, George Michael, Salt-n-Pepa - it goes on and on.

In many ways, acting is really like a science to me to figure out the human behavior of any character that I'm playing.

In the women's movement, women needed men to stand up and say, 'This isn't right.' In the civil rights of the '60s, it took people of all color to demand equal rights.

Life is unexchangeable grace.

Our intimacy with God broadens our influence on earth.

Every piece of art is a mirror and serves the function of reflectivity to expose to you and reveal to you more of who you are.

Court... a place where they dispense with justice.

We know too much for one man to know too much.

It strikes me how strange people are. You can see them every day - you can think you know them - and then you fшnd out you hardly know them at all.

Crimes are not to be measured by the issue of events, but by the bad intentions of men.

It is a very wonderful experience indeed, when, at fifty years old, you suddenly discover that for the first time in your life, you are really free to be yourself.

The most important thing is having the right mind - a mind that can see it. Once you have an open mind, you see a lot of auspicious coincidence taking place.

When others are having hard times and poor business, you will find your greatest opportunities.
