I wanted to educate myself about the world and I wanted to know what was happening to people in other countries. I feel now I have only just begun.

Refugees have done more for my heart and my spirit than I can ever express in words.

I take my kids to school and if I go to work they visit me on set, I come home. I have dinner with my family. I have breakfast with my family. I have a very solid, a very warm home. I'm fortunate.

Different is good. When someone tells you that you are different, smile and hold your head up and be proud.

If you don't get out of the box you've been raised in, you won't understand how much bigger the world is.

Artists raise their kids differently. We communicate to the point where we probably annoy our children. We have art around the house, we have books, we go to plays, we talk. Our focus is art and painting and dress-up and singing. It's what we love. So I think you can see how artists in some way raise other artists.

I don't see myself as beautiful, because I can see a lot of flaws. People have really odd opinions. They tell me I'm skinny, as if that's supposed to make me happy.
