When you become very ill - raise your head. You will definitely see the sunlight.

Oh, I love hugging. I wish I was an octopus, so I could hug 10 people at a time!

Life is very interesting... in the end, some of your greatest pains, become your greatest strengths.

I never regret anything. Because every little detail of your life is what made you into who you are in the end.

When I lay my head on the pillow at night I can say I was a decent person today. That's when I feel beautiful.

I pray to be like the ocean, with soft currents, maybe waves at times. More and more, I want the consistency rather than the highs and the lows.

There's something liberating about not pretending. Dare to embarrass yourself. Risk.

I'm a real stay-at-home mom. I'm really hands-on. Everything else became secondary.

I think happiness is what makes you pretty.

Daisies are like sunshine to the ground.

I've always loved butterflies, because they remind us that it's never too late to transform ourselves.

What is realized in the novel is the process of coming to know one's own language as it is perceived in someone else's language, coming to know one's own belief system in someone else's system.

The funny thing is that I feel close to all my characters. Deep, deep inside them all.

Just because there are things I don't remember, doesn't mean my actions are meaningless. The whole world doesn't just disappear when you close your eyes, does it?

I don't see the point of marriage. But when I need my love, I get my love.

I like to really respect the audience and let them come through on answers.

Do not measure your life by your goals but what you are doing to achieve them.

I don't like lifts and will walk up 20 flights of stairs if I have to. Crowded rooms make me uncomfortable, too, although I can sing to a stadium full of thousands of people no bother.

Where are the people who don't have goals headed? Those 97 per cent end up working for the three percent.

Out of darkness is born the light.

The next step in my life is hopefully meeting a nice guy and getting married.
