When I’m rested, I’m at my best.

I have to live for me. I have to do what I need to do for me, and I have stopped concerning myself with what people say.

Throughout my career I have been talked out of things I wanted to do, and when I look back, I think I should have followed my instincts.

We've become obsessed with beauty and the fountain of youth and, frankly, I'm really saddened by the way women mutilate their faces today in search of that.

I chose a sunflower because when darkness descends they close up to regenerate. But I really wish I'd never had the tattoo in the first place. Clean, clear skin is always better.

I believe that you can experience very profound moments of change in life...I never would have become an actress if I hadn't dropped out of high school. As a teenager, I was so driven to pursue my dreams that I made a decision to quit school at 17 so I could find my voice as an actress and eventually the profession embraced me.

Motherhood sort of puts things into perspective, and it's bout real life, and life is about people, what we give, what we take, what we share.
