Whether you're on TV or on the stage, you have to work hard to stay fresh, real, and full of energy. You can't settle back. You always have to stay on your toes.

We all have an obligation as citizens of this earth to leave the world a healthier, cleaner, and better place for our children and future generations.

Mostly, I spend my time being a mother to my two children, working in my organic garden, raising masses of sweet peas, being passionately involved in conservation, recycling and solar energy.

I feel that its our children who do give us hope because they are the ones who are going to save the world.

I think I have a lot of crazy layers.

You learn more discipline in the theatre than you do in movies or TV. You're on stage every night and you have to sustain your energy level tor several hours.

My theory in anything you do is to keep exploring, keep digging deeper to find new stuff.

You live long enough, you lose enough people, you learn to appreciate the memories you have and stop begrudging the ones you never got to make.

I think one of my very favorite films of all time was with Peter Sellers when he played Chauncey, the gardener. Being There.

Onstage or in films, you do affect peoples' lives, and sometimes that's very gratifying. But still, there's this little voice that says you should be doing something that matters.

I try to avoid a specific image. I seek to play as many different women as I can to avoid having a label put on me.

I think it will be better if we can live our life as if Christ is going to return today and plan our live as if it is hundred years off. Keep living, serving and most of all be prepared.

I have found truly jubilant Christians only in the Bible, in the Underground Church and in prison.

'Be yourself!' is about the worst advice you can give to some people.

I would just encourage any artist to stay focused, of course keep God first, and just keep working hard. Try to outwork those who you idolize.

It does not pay to cherish symbols when the substance lies so close at hand.

Every moment a gift: are you unwrapping yours now, and now, and now?

Human service is the highest form of self-interest for the person who serves.

I don't trade for excitement; I trade to win

I remember thinking, "Far out, I can't believe this," when I started riding waves. Then I was starting to imagine where it could take me.

People will always try to stop you from doing the right thing if it is unconventional.
