“When something disappointing happened, my mother would remind me not to let that become my focus. There’s still so much to be grateful for.”

I’m not very good at being a wife because I break all the rules.

I used to weigh myself every day at a certain time of day. Then I would write down the number and measure my body fat. It wasn’t a healthy way to live.

A girl told me my lips looked like somebody had pressed strawberry yogurt against my face.

If I start going back to church, I’d have to stop the smoking and drinking, and I wouldn’t be able to curse any more.

If I spread myself too thin, I’m not a good actor, I’m not a good mother, and I’m just really high-strung – and everybody hates me.

Some people think, if you’re in the public eye, that you have to have an answer for everything and it has to be boring.

I’m done with the whole idea of having my own children. It doesn’t seem like any fun.

My mother often says that she could never have done it if I had been the youngest, if she had other small children she had to cart around New York City for my auditions and go-sees (modeling auditions) and stuff.

Guys are much more obvious than they think they are.

My sister is Korean and my parents adopted her about three years before I was born and that is how I grew up.

I’m terrible with patience.

Even if you plan a marriage and a family, you are never quite prepared for the reality versus how you imagined it. In a lot of ways it’s better, and in a lot of ways it’s worse. That’s life, right?

My career is really important to me, but there have to be other great, important things in your life besides work.

I keep kind of making certain mistakes in public appearances over and over again.

I was the youngest child and really spoiled. I loved to play make-believe. I loved pretending to be all kinds of different people and it just seemed natural that I would go into acting.

I think that everybody has a right to their own thoughts, their own feelings and their own private moments, if they want them.

To my disappointment I now realized that to know all is not to forgive all. It is to despise everybody.

It is foolish to pretend that one is fully recovered from a disappointed passion. Such wounds always leave a scar.

You’re always a little disappointing in person because you can’t be the edited essence of yourself.

Only one can win, and all the others are disappointed and live in the middle of disaster.

If you so choose, the challenges can make you stronger. If you so choose, the disappointments can make you more determined.

I’m looking at offering biblical holiness, not an unrealistic expectation for people that will leave them disappointed.

That level of expectation that I’m going to be conservative is really disappointing, but it is how many people think about clergy and the church

When I was 12 I made some little films with my friends. I tried to make gangster films, like Fantomas, but I remember being very disappointed with them.
