I know you're always supposed to want more of everything. But in truth, I'm having a nice ebb and flow of being in my daughter's life every day and getting to keep my work life alive. I'm not nominated for ten thousand everythings every minute, but I am acting and telling stories I love.

I think I have more of a director's brain than an actor's brain, in a way.

I think that all of us are 5-year-olds and we don't want to be embarrassed in the schoolyard. I've gone through things in my life. People say it must be so hard to do it in the public eye, but the truth is, when you go through hard things, it's just hard.

All nights are sacred nights to make confession and resolve and prayer; all days are sacred days to wake new gladness in the sunny air.

You have five seconds to enjoy it and then you remember who you didn't thank.

Women who say it's not O.K. are [interpreted as] wet blankets or sore losers.

We can live a life full and complete, thinking with our heads but living from our hearts.
