“Of course, of course I’m grateful. How can I not be grateful? I have been afforded such a wonderful life.”

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.

I’m a sappy mom now. I didn’t think I would be. I thought I’d be a cool mom who keeps everything in perspective.

Kids are a huge sacrifice; they change everything – but I’m ready to work for things of greater importance than going out to meet someone for dinner at 10 o’clock at night.

If I have to be focused and watch what I say, then I have to be comfortable.

In my career, I’m very grateful for the opportunities.

There are some things that, if you say them out loud, will hurt the other person’s feelings. I tend to say them anyway. It’s better to be honest.

Hollywood likes to label everyone so you’re easier to identify.

Isn’t it so weird the day you wake up and you’re just going with the flow? And you just suddenly are a mom.

Adoption has been a part of my life and a part of my family, so it was how I wanted to start. It felt natural and right to me.

So much about living life, to me, is about humility and gratitude. And I’ve tried very hard to have those qualities and be that person and I’m just so disappointed in myself that I allowed it to slip.

It’s more fun to think that there are other worlds.

I’d be a terrible secret agent. I can’t keep a secret and I’m not sneaky.

I can hide, and my husband’s just terrible at finding me. I do like to jump out from behind doors and scare him.

Obviously I’m very grateful ‘Bad Guy’ is doing so well – it’s shocking and surprising and gratifying – but I do think it’s important to try to make the next song that people are gonna be excited about.

Everything I need is everywhere I am.

Her core is filled with gratitude and blooming energy.

A bird in the hand is worth more than a Bush.

Gratitude grows from a seed called grace. If you’re not grateful you might still be trying to earn what God freely gives.

Obedience shows whether you are grateful.

I feel very lucky. My family and I have worked hard, and I feel very grateful.

The Universe loves a grateful person. The more you thank Life, the more Life will give you to be thankful for.
