“I’m very attached to movie theaters and I love going to them. Nothing will ever replace that. It’s very romantic and beautiful. I used to want to live inside of one, with a bathtub, a bike and a bed, and just watch movies.”

Crazy isn’t being broken, or swallowing a dark secret. It’s you or me, amplified.

I was regarded as the school freak which further reinforced a lot of inhibitions and doubts I had about myself. I was a shy, frightened teenager for a long time.

My father believes that Western religions are death cults, which I agree with.

Remember, I’m the kind of kid who used to get stuffed into a locker by school bullies. I’ve never felt like I’m a big star at any level of my life.

The actors that I do know are people who I think have souls, you know?

I love photography and first editions. I have that in my genes. My father was an archivist.

I was inspired by lots of people, certainly in acting and in writing and stuff, but I never wanted to be somebody else.

I would love to someday do a play. I did one when I was very young in San Francisco, where I grew up. A girl can dream.

You go through spells where you feel that maybe you’re too sensitive for this world. I certainly felt that.

What’s awful about being famous and being an actress is when people come up to you and touch you. That’s scary, and they just seem to think it’s okay to do it, like you’re public property.

I don’t want to preach, and I don’t want to tell people what to do.

I was exhausted and going through a terrible depression.

When you finally accept that it’s OK not to have answers and it’s OK not to be perfect, you realize that feeling confused is a normal part of what it is to be a human being.

Society makes suicide so romantic.

Looking back – I did have a lot of success and a lot of great opportunities earlier in my career.

Be not attached to who you think you are. So you can believe all that you are meant to be.

It’s like having a pet dog for a long time. You get attached to it, and when it dies you miss it.

I do not attach much importance to America’s bombs. I attach importance to her great vitality and integrity. The strength of America is deeper and more significant than her financial power.

I don’t mind what happens. That is the essence of inner freedom. It is a timeless spiritual truth: release attachment to outcomes, deep inside yourself, you’ll feel good no matter what.

Neither seek nor avoid; take what comes. It is liberty to be affected by nothing. Do not merely endure; be unattached.

There can be no real attachment to the given creation, no genuine responsibility in the world, unless we recognize the breach which already separates us from it.

People in any organization are always attached to the obsolete – the things that should have worked but did not, the things that once were productive and no longer are.

Patrick Henry wanted the Constitution to have a Bill of Rights attached to it — a list of powers that the government could never use against the people of the United States.
