I'm constantly failing, but not upset about it. I think there's a great deal to learn from that.

Sometimes you have to fight in order to be free.

If I saw a man and I was attracted… I would follow through with it.

Be the person you want to be, not the person you have to be

I don't care if someone remembered me. Life is for living and memories for those who we leave behind.

I get a terminal dissatisfaction on films. If I was bad in one scene, it's impossible to let go. And it can make or break my day. If I drank, I would probably drink a lot.

In 1971, Bossier City, Louisiana, there was a teenage girl who was pregnant with her second child. She was a high school dropout and a single mom, but somehow she managed to make a better life for herself and her children. She encouraged her kids to be creative, to work hard and to do something special. That girl is my mother and she's here tonight. And I just want to say, I love you, Mom. Thank you for teaching me to dream.
