A fish may love a bird, but where would they live?

I never regret anything. Because every little detail of your life is what made you into who you are in the end.

You've just got to do the best that you can.

I never want to get to the point where it's all about my needs, and the hell with anybody else.

I don't want to be stinky poo poo girl, I want to be happy flower child.

I never act my characters - I am them.

I want people to be blown away when I do what they don't expect.

When things are perfect, that's when you need to worry most.

When you've been locked up in a mental institution, people are going to ask questions. It was OK, because I didn't have to act perfect all the time.

I'm not after fame and success and fortune and power. It's mostly that I want to have a good job and have good friends; that's the good stuff in life.

I've been a vegetarian for years and years. I'm not judgemental about others who aren't, I just feel I cannot eat or wear living creatures.

I definitely don't think that I'm hot doo-doo. I don't.

I want people to love me, but it's not going to hurt me if they don't.

I don't know anybody's road who's been paved perfectly for them, there are no manuals, you don't know what life has in store for you.

I really want to understand the mind so I can be more comfortable with the way people are. Being comfortable with people is incredibly important.

God made a very obvious choice when he made me voluptuous; why would I go against what he decided for me? My limbs work, so I'm not going to complain about the way my body is shaped.

Kisses, even to the air, are beautiful.

I aspire to be that, to be a voice of reason one day.

Love is the hardest habit to break, and the most difficult to satisfy.

Kissing - and I mean like, yummy, smacking kissing - is the most delicious, most beautiful and passionate thing that two people can do, bar none. Better than sex, hands down.

Daisies are like sunshine to the ground.

It's only through listening that you learn, and I never want to stop learning.

Everyone is like a butterfly, they start out ugly and awkward and then morph into beautiful graceful butterflies that everyone loves.

Sometimes I bust out and do things so permanent. Like tattoos and marriage.

If you're going to be alive and on this planet, you have to, like, suck the marrow out of every day and get the most out of it.

I used to look in the mirror and feel shame, I look in the mirror now and I absolutely love myself.

I love romance. I'm a sucker for it. I love it so much. It's pathetic.

There's something liberating about not pretending. Dare to embarrass yourself. Risk.

If you're going to go through hell... I suggest you come back learning something.

A fish may love a bird, but where would they live?

I'm so in control of my life, you shouldn't dislike anything I do-because I'm not only in the best place I've ever been, but it keeps getting better and better.

I've always said that one night, I'm going to find myself in some field somewhere, I'm standing on grass, and it's raining, and I'm with the person I love, and I know I'm at the very point I've been dreaming of getting to.

Life is very interesting... in the end, some of your greatest pains, become your greatest strengths.

When I lay my head on the pillow at night I can say I was a decent person today. That's when I feel beautiful.

I am obsessed with ice cubes. Obsessed.

There's a hunger and a fervor that I have, but there's no person I'm going to push to the side to get where I'm going. I want to create my own road.

I pray to be like the ocean, with soft currents, maybe waves at times. More and more, I want the consistency rather than the highs and the lows.

My whole life, I've wanted to feel comfortable in my skin. It's the most liberating thing in the world.

A few years ago, I bought an old red bicycle with the words Free Spirit written across its side - which is exactly what I felt like when I rode it down the street in a tie-dyed dress.

A lot of my business is about protecting creativity.

A thank-you can be just as meaningful as a soulful ten-page message.

And people say it all the time: 'You're a celebrity.' No, I'm an actor. I'm a producer. I'm a director. I'm a toad. I'm roadkill. I'm anything but a celebrity.

As I've gotten older, I've really wanted to find more balance and calm.

At 35, I'm definitely starting to feel more like a grown-up than I ever have. There's nothing in my life that is childish or whimsical. Having fun is fantastic and I never want to lose a sense of that - and also, I think, you have to have that to put into your work or else it's going to feel stiff.

Becoming emancipated at 14, my life wasn't normal. I didn't have to go to school, so I didn't. I was rebellious by nature. I spent my 20s focusing on my company, Flower Films, and producing movies. Now that I'm almost 30, I would like to try other things in lie. I'm crazy about photography, and I want to take an art history class.

Being a Barrymore didn't help me, other than giving me a great sense of pride and a strange spiritual sense that I felt OK about having the passion to act. It made sense because my whole family had done it and it helped rationalise it for me.

California is an unbelievable state.

California is an unbelievable state. One day I might be in a spiritual place like Joshua Tree, then before I know it, I'm eating groovy sushi in a mini-mall. I'm a Cali girl through and through.

Celebrity! It's become the most disgusting word on the planet. It makes me sick to my stomach.
