“The thing you hate about yourself tends to be the thing that everyone likes about you.”

To appreciate the success you have to have had the failures. You have to accept that it is a journey and its not just tomorrow or the next day or next year.

Stay out of the sun, because it is the worst thing in terms of aging. I’m very medical. I come from a medical family.

Part of the reason of being an actor is you like playing other people’s lives and exploring all the psychologies in that and the emotions.

You’ve got to find your bliss as a human being, because if you can follow that, everything else falls into place.

Ultimately, you’re left with the people you love and who love you- everything else fades into oblivion.

I’m very much an admirer of people who are reaching for things and trying to survive.

Men don’t pay you for sex, they pay you to leave after sex.

Whatever you do in life, don’t give up on your own dreams.

~My instinct is to protect my children from pain. But adversity is often the thing that gives us character and backbone. It’s always been a struggle for me to back off and let my children go through difficult experiences.~

If you take care of the woman in the family, the whole family prospers. But when the mother falters, the family falls apart.

The journey of life – we all go through it: You have love, you lose love, you find new love. To have love again is a beautiful thing.

I think each role takes a little from you and circles around you for the rest of your life. I don’t think you ever abandon any of them.

Don’t you worry about a thing, my darling. You live your life.

I just have a desire not to judge and view things compassionately.

Now my ability to notice things and respond to things and be here is far more profound. With that comes happiness, with it comes sadness, but it’s a beautiful life.

I suppose expectations are strange and I shy away from them. And the whole point of being an actor is to connect.

Your imperfections make you perfect.

Judge not for your flaws, but for your Triumphs!

I want you to love me for me so that all my flaws stitch together and make me whole.

She was only a collection of flaws and she was beautiful.

It’s okay not to be perfect. Your imperfections are what make you YOU. And at the end of the day, people like real people, flaws and all. At least I do.

O seasons, O castles, What soul is without flaws? All its lore is known to me, Felicity, it enchants us all.

If we carry this line of argument to its logical conclusion, the meaning of life consists of the flaws in one’s conceptions and what one does about them. Life can be seen as a fertile fallacy.

I’ve learned that it’s OK to be flawed, that life can be messy, that some days you glide and some days you fall, but most important, that there are no secret answers out there.
