“You really just have to love the process. I can’t tell you the amount of film sets I’ve been on where people are talking about Oscars in the middle of the production. It happens all the time.”

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.

I have a great pack of female friends, but I also have a lot of guy friends. I believe that platonic relationship is entirely possible.

I grew up being told by my parents each time they went off to war that they may explode, so I needed to know how things like the gadgets in the kitchen worked.

I’ve always been a fan of science fiction.

If you want to know me, Look inside your heart.

I’m selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can’t handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don’t deserve me at my best.

Love does not terrify me. But the going away of it does.

Our love was born outside the walls, in the wind, in the night, in the earth, and that’s why the clay and the flower, the mud and the roots know your name.

Yesterday we obeyed kings and bent our necks before emperors. But today we kneel only to truth, follow only beauty, and obey only love.

If you judge people, you have no time to love them.

A woman’s heart should be so hidden in God that a man has to seek him just to find her.

Love is a magic ray emitted from the burning core of the soul and illuminating the surrounding earth. It enables us to perceive life as a beautiful dream between one awakening and another.
