I was not really as good as I should have been.

You can forgive yourself a great deal.

I don't really care how I am remembered as long as I bring happiness and joy to people.

I don't think I'm proud of anything in acting.

I always thought I was a singer, but I really am not.

What's the most important thing in the world? It's love, and I look at that as an energy, not a sentiment.

I was not really as good as I should have been.

Courage is just fear plus prayers plus understanding.

I always knew I would act. It was just a matter of time.

If I wasn't Eddie Albert's son, I'd be someone else's. It gave me a chance to do a lot of traveling, but mostly I'm glad I'm his son because he's such a good man.

Usually in features, I'm the lead. I consider the director the captain, but I consider myself the first mate, and it's up to me to keep in contact with the heart of the crew.

Mothers have as powerful an influence over the welfare of future generations as all other earthly causes combined.

I find it slightly uncomfortable to see my face on a bus or a poster. I like just being known by my friends and family.

I would like them all to enjoy life and try different things until there is something they really like.

Each life is made up of mistakes and learning, waiting and growing, practicing patience and being persistent.

Being a full time mother is one of the highest salaried jobs since the payment is pure love.

The temples are a refuge from life's storms even a never-failing beacon guiding us to safety.

I'm not well-read, but when I read, I read well.

That's always the trick with the sequels, is how much do you repeat from the first one. Because we all get bummed out when you go see a sequel and it's beat for beat.

I'd much rather be in the expanse of the wilderness because it feels like part of my world. It's a unique perspective. You're this tiny speck in a huge environment, and it's nice to be reminded of that.
