“I was very depressed after breaking off my engagement with Johnny ten years ago. I was embarrassingly dramatic at the time, but you have to remember I was only 19 years old.”

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 was raised to believe that religion is a beautiful thing, but it’s fiction.

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.

I love books and going to bookstores. My favorite sound is the sound of the needle hitting the record.

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.

You can’t pay enough money to cure that feeling of being broken and confused.

The pride of youth is in strength and beauty, the pride of old age is in discretion.

We will never reach an age in life where there is nothing to learn.

But can one still make resolutions when one is over forty? I live according to twenty-year-old habits.

Too chaste a youth leads to a dissolute old age.

I’m excited about the aging process. I’m more interested in women who aren’t perfect. They’re more compelling.

If youth knew; if age could.

People think that their world will get smaller as they get older. My experience is just the opposite. Your senses become more acute. You start to blossom.

Life is meant to be lived to the fullest, no matter your age.
