You'll never be disappointed if you always keep an eye on uncharted territory, where you'll be challenged and growing and having fun.

When I see someone who is starved, they don't look alert. They don't have boundless energy. If you're too skinny, it looks like you're near death.

Look for someone who has a complete life without you in it. If you have a person you don't need for anything, that's ideal. You're just together because you really want to be.

I have photographs taken of me at the time I was addicted, and thought I looked good. I see them today and realize my eyes were dead.

You're not going to live your life unscathed.

Until I separated from Parker, I had never been without them-and it's the hardest thing to share them. But we're trying to give the children the semblance of having whole lives.

It's amazing how coke encompasses everything in your life. Addicts cannot confront life because they only think of their next hit. I ruined life for my parents, my sister and all my friends.

I couldn't care less about sex unless I meet someone who I think is wonderful.

Usually, about 85 percent of what the tabloids report is a lie. Over the last year, I can truly say it has been 99 percent.

When I was straight, I had the courage and energy to become an actress. I owe my career to my will to stop using.

I don't smoke pot. I never liked it.

I don't think children are any more resilent than anyone else. They're just people with little bodies.

When push comes to shove, it ain't the science that's going to lift you up-it's the belief, the spiritual side of life, that's going to lift you up, no matter what religion you are.

I'm happy when I'm juggling, but I feel like I've gone from, like, 3 balls to 10 bowling balls. But, that's a good problem. I don't really have a complaint about that.

I was so naive I didn't even know about agents. I telephoned the William Morris agency and asked to speak to Mr. Morris. I expected Bill Morris to be waiting for my call.

I probably spend more time with my kids than the average stay-at-home mother.

I sort of feel sorry for the next man who gets me. I may just kill him with passion. He'd better be strong and have a good heart!

I love marriage. I failed at marriage, but I'd rather go into anything with gusto and fail than go into it half-assed.

There's always somebody older, richer, more desperate than you.

Through history, people look for something spiritual. The greatest scientists in the world were men of religion and faith, too.

You'll never be disappointed if you always keep an eye on uncharted territory, where you'll be challenged and growing and having fun.

I never did go back to acting class. I was too busy working.

I don't believe you have to have eating disorders and mental illness to screw up.

When I play ball, I play hardball.

For some reason I am one of those people who act like they were born and raised during the Depression.

I was really tired of words like 'plus size,' 'round' and 'large.' I thought, 'Come on, we're fat.'

I binge when I'm happy. When everything is going really well, every day is like I'm at a birthday party.

I developed a nutty attitude where I'd think, If some guy really loves me he doesn't care if I'm fat. I'd come up with all these stupid reasons why it would be OK to be fat.

I believe that behind both the person who weighs 400 pounds and the one who weighs 85 there is a lot of baggage, and it has nothing to do with their bodies.

When you're the spokeswoman for a weight-loss program, everything is witnessed. I weigh in once a week with a witness. I have to sign an affidavit saying I cannot have any surgeries.

I always had really long swimmer's arms. The last to totally go is always my thighs and butt, but my old body is there somewhere.

I am the one who got myself fat, who did all the eating. So I had to take full responsibility for it.

I have a hotline to the tabloids. When I get up in the morning, I call the Star, and the last thing at night, I call them. I want them to have the inside track.

I always feel like there is some dude out there with money that I could fall back on if I needed to.

No matter what parents do, kids retain their uniqueness.

Indians have a big problem with alcohol and drugs. I grew up with an admiration for their culture and was sensitive to their problems.

The reason I went for Jenny Craig is I thought, Maybe I'm not the only one who has stupid reasons for getting fat.

There's a lot more to life than how fat or thin you are.

I don't like psychiatry. I don't believe it works. I believe psychiatrists are neurotic or psychotic, for the most part.

God gave us intestines for a reason. I'm not keen on surgery. It's too extreme. All it took was one of those plastic surgery shows to see how violent it is.

It was the greatest thing in the world getting fat. Every meal out was an event. Or we'd go to Italy and we'd have pasta, truffles, and dessert and then plan the next incredible meal. It was a happy-go-lucky time. I never had so much fun.

My food demons are Chinese food, sugar, butter.

When push comes to shove, it ain't the science that's going to lift you up - it's the belief, the spiritual side of life, that's going to lift you up, no matter what religion you are.

When you are generalizing, and when your goal is to malign and to say things about an entire group - there are tens of millions of Scientologists in the world - when you decide to blanket statement that 'Scientology is evil,' you are my enemy.

Theres always somebody older richer more desperate than you.

I was really tired of words like plus size, round and large. I thought, Come on, we're fat.

With an eye made quiet by the power of harmony, and the deep power of joy, we see into the life of things.

Happiness is the harvest of a quiet eye.

It is reasonable to have perfection in our eye that we may always advance toward it, though we know it can never be reached.
