Everyone
is like a butterfly, they start out ugly and awkward and then morph into
beautiful graceful butterflies that everyone loves.
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.
I
am obsessed with ice cubes. Obsessed.
I
aspire to be that, to be a voice of reason one day.
I
believe that everything happens for a reason, but I think it's important
to seek out that reason - that's how we learn.
I
definitely don't think that I'm hot doo-doo. I 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
don't want to be stinky poo poo girl, I want to be happy flower child.
I
get to be a kid now, because I wasn't a kid when I was supposed to be
one. But in some ways, I'm like an old woman-lived it, seen it, done it,
been there, have the T-shirt.
I
know certain actors are totally screwed up on drugs, yet it gets covered
up. Why wasn't I excused for 'exhaustion' or 'the flu'?
I
learned early on that family, as far as my mother and father, were not
an option.
I
love romance. I'm a sucker for it. I love it so much. It's pathetic.
I
never regret anything. Because every little detail of your life is what
made you into who you are in the end.
I
never want to get to the point where it's all about my needs, and the
hell with anybody else.
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.
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.
I
think its nice when people find love, because I feel like everyone
deserves it.
I
understand there are inevitable things that we have to go through:
heartbreak, family problems. I don't feel like some quixotic idiot who
says, 'We don't have to feel pain.' No! Let's feel it, let's make it
work for ourselves. But I want us all to be able to get past it.
I
used to look in the mirror and feel shame, I look in the mirror now and
I absolutely love myself.
I
want people to be blown away when I do what they don't expect.
I
want people to love me, but it's not going to hurt me if they don't.
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'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.
I've
been a vegetarian for years and years. I'm not judgmental about others
who aren't, I just feel I cannot eat or wear living creatures.
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.
If
you're going to go through hell... I suggest you come back learning
something.
It's
only through listening that you learn, and I never want to stop
learning.
Kisses,
even to the air, are beautiful.
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.
Life
is very interesting... in the end, some of your greatest pains, become
your greatest strengths.
Love
is the hardest habit to break, and the most difficult to satisfy.
My
whole life, I've wanted to feel comfortable in my skin. It's the most
liberating thing in the world.
Oh,
I love hugging. I wish I was an octopus, so I could hug 10 people at a
time!
Sometimes
I bust out and do things so permanent. Like tattoos and marriage.
There's
something liberating about not pretending. Dare to embarrass yourself.
Risk.
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.
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.
You've
just got to do the best that you can.
I know certain actors are totally screwed up
on drugs, yet it gets covered up. Why wasn't I excused for 'exhaustion'
or 'the flu'?
There's something liberating about not
pretending. Dare to embarrass yourself. Risk.
If I ever start talking to you about my
'craft', my 'instrument', you have permission to shoot me.
I believe in fate. I believe that everything
happens for a reason, but I think it's important to seek out that reason
- that's how you learn.
I believe you can be the person that you
dream of being.
I try to make movies that I would want to go
see rather than ones I would just want to do as an actor. I want people
to have movies full of romance and hope and empowerment, something they
can escape into and feel good about. I love happy endings.
Every morning I stay in bed for ten minutes
to ponder my place in the universe; then I wash my face and check my
karma.
Life is very interesting... in the end, some
of your greatest pains, become your greatest strengths.
I love levity. As crazy as I am, I just love
to laugh!
I'm getting older so those dark circles are
really starting to show. Now, I'm starting to look like Night of the
Living Dead.
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.
There's nothing like the power of a smile.
I'd rather be a few pounds heavier and enjoy
life than be worried all the time.
I don't want to sit around and hope good
things happen. I want to make them happen.
My whole life, I've wanted to feel
comfortable in my skin. It's the most liberating thing in the world.
