you must enter a relationship with yourself before anyone else

what drives you crazy what keeps you up at night

you must understand the difference between want and need you may want that boy but you certainly don't need him

do not look for healing at the feet of those who broke you

if you were born with the weakness to fall you were born with the strength to rise

it takes grace to remain kind in cruel situations

to be soft is to be powerful

accept yourself as you were designed

other women's bodies are not our battlegrounds

i have what i have and i am happy i've lost what i've lost and i am still happy

if the hurt comes so will the happiness

how you love yourself is how you teach others to love you

you are your own soul mate

some people are so bitter to them you must be kindest

if you are not enough for yourself you will never be enough for someone else

you must want to spend the rest of your life with yourself first

I can go to my premiere at the Chinese Theatre, and everyone will know me, and everyone will cater to me. And then I'll go to an audition and get rejected left, right and centre. They don't watch my videos, and they don't really know who I am. It is like starting from scratch when it comes to traditional Hollywood.

Literally, I think I've quit acting three or four times, only for a few days. Maybe for a few weeks.

I love playing football, being out on the pitch with a ball, and I will be a little sad when that ends.

All of my records have been very personal, just writing more and more songs, you get better at being able to say what you feel.

Maine likes to call itself 'America's Vacationland.' For many artists, though, it's the office. Since the 19th century, painters from all over the country - including Edward Hopper, Alex Katz, John Marin, Fairfield Porter, Neil Welliver and Andrew Wyeth - have spent large chunks of time there.

Be thrifty, but not covetous.

There are women who make things better, there are women who change things, there are women who make things happen, who make a difference. I want to be one of those women.

I'm conservative on some issues, and I'm progressive on others.

I have such love to the point of obsessions of people and their minds, and I'm constantly trying to find the beauty in things, and I think people are such unique and complex creatures.

We all wear masks, and the time comes when we cannot remove them without removing some of our own skin.

I am not somebody who meets a man or a woman somewhere and feels like that is an incredible character that I must write into a play.

I really believe that you grow up a certain way in New York. There's a New York morality, a sense of loyalty. You know how to win and lose. There's a thousand kids outside, you know who to push and who not to push. There's a sixth sense you develop just because it's New York.

The idea that America, whose oil production has been declining for the past 40 years, is now on track to become the world's biggest producer by 2015 is still hard to grasp.

I'm afraid of only two things: being lazy and being cowardly.

The light in Alaska in particular is so beautiful. So beautiful! Such incredible light.

To achieve longevity you will have cycles. No one gets there in one straight shot.

I pay attention to how I look but I don't let it go too far.

The grave has a door on its inner side.
