When you're told to be good, you have to get rid of whatever is bad. I sure identify with that.

Instead of drifting along like a leaf in a river, understand who you are and how you come across to people and what kind of an impact you have on the people around you and the community around you and the world, so that when you go out, you can feel you have made a positive difference.

To do life right, you have to feel like you're growing up until the day you die. The thing I'm proudest of is that I have stayed curious. I have every intention, when I'm on my deathbed, of saying, "Oh, my God - I get it!"

Telling lies and showing off to get attention are mistakes I made that I don't want my kids to make.

Denial can be a pathology or a survival mechanism - and sometimes it's both.

Some people are surprised that the Republicans are waging a war on women, or that they voted against equal pay for women. I'm not surprised at all. In some ways, it may be a good thing. They're defending the patriarchy, which is a wounded beast! And wounded beasts are always dangerous.

I love films that make you feel good when you come out and, in my opinion, there's not enough of them these days.
