“I trust work, directors – I don’t live in fear. All good experiences have come from trusting the universe. There is no other way to live or love. Otherwise, you create your own prison.”

I’ve always been a fan of science fiction. My family, we all used to watch ‘Star Trek’ together, which is kind of a nerdy family activity.

As you get older, you start to really ask questions like, ‘Is this the road I should be walking down?,’ because every decision seems more final, as you get older.

I feel like the luckiest child in the world because I got to grow up in Ireland. In summer is when you really grow up. During the year, I would go back to the States, and all year long really couldn’t wait to get back to Ardmore.

I don’t own a scale, and Tao banned the word ‘fat’ from our house. If we eat too much, we say, ‘I feel clogged up.’

I’m a natural blonde, but I feel like a brunette.

If you fall off a horse, you get back up. I am not a quitter.

Now I’m doing a film festival for kids and writing a script about a kidnapped journalist in Afghanistan.

When you’re a working actor and you’re happy to be one, you can’t focus all your energy on acting because you will go crazy. You have to focus as much energy as you can away from yourself.

I got a divorce, and I felt like I finally started my career. I started making movies and projects that I just really believed in.

I think my confidence has developed over the years in terms of the speed at which I will reveal how collaborative I want to be.

I was a handful growing up.

I’ve thought for a long time that my body type would have worked well in the ’70s. The idea that you could be a broad-shouldered, small-breasted woman and still wear really great outfits.

You’re going to change as you grow older, and that messes up a lot of relationships.

A good litmus test is that you should be comfortable with your significant other being present when you hang out with your friend.

I’m still a student of fashion, but I like hooking up with the people that really know how to make cool clothes.

I enjoy getting gussied up for an event or date night.

It is much easier to imagine ourselves in the place of God the Creator than in the place of Christ crucified.

There are a lot of gay people in fashion, but it’s not as if every gay person is a great creator.

People who confuse what they wish were true with what is really true create distorted pictures of reality that make it impossible for them to make the best choices.

The creator of the heavens obeys a carpenter; the God of eternal glory listens to a poor virgin. Has anyone ever witnessed anything comparable to this?

All the things in this world are gifts of God, created for us, to be the means by which we can come to know him better, love him more surely, and serve him more faithfully.

I think good private equity investors create a lot more economic value than they destroy.

We younger Negro artists who create now intend to express our individual dark-skinned selves without fear or shame. If white people are pleased we are glad. If they aren?t it doesn?t matter.

Instead of leading the world by how much we borrow, it’s time that we make sure we lead the world in how much we build and create and invest.
