Years are not important, my dear.

I'm still the little southern girl from the wrong side of the tracks who really didn't feel like she belonged.

Fear is a pair of handcuffs on your soul.

You just sort of let them go for a while, but it was time to have something done to my teeth. I'm glad. It's going to be good. Tom Cruise has braces now, too. I'm right in style.

You are not an extra in somebody else's film. You are the star in your own life.

I am desperate and vulnerable. ... I am always terrified.... Beauty can sometimes be so very troublesome.

Success is a relative quotient, and fame can be ephemeral. An Oscar is something that becomes a part of your record, a tangible acknowledgement that your efforts have made a difference.

You can't take responsibility for everything. You can't have that kind of control. At some point, it's all out of our hands.

So many people are called but few serve as actors, you know what I mean?

I often say the last role I played that really touched me and where I was able to access what I really am was Bonnie, which is kind of sad when you think how early in my career that was.

I still have, I hope, a lot of years and there are still a lot of things I want to do.

Life is pleasant. Death is peaceful. It's the transition that's troublesome.

The success is like an umbrella. It has wires in it called faith. It has no meaning if there is no rain and storm called ebbs and flows of life.

If a man is cruel, he destroy himself.

You cannot teach a man anything you can only help him to find it within himself.

We feel that this stands as a symbol of the insatiable curiosity of all mankind to explore the unknown.

At any given time the universe is giving you the best result possible.

It hurts so good and I feel euphoric after . . . yoga people on a whole are super cool and everyone is there to work on their own thing.

The Great Commission will not get done if we’re not ready to risk our lives and the lives of our family.

If your hate could be turned into electricity, it would light up the whole world.

If you are to be an effective nation builder, make it your business, to understand what is really happening in the economy, both nationally and globally.
