No one can tell you who you are and what you are made of, only you yourself know what you are made of, and only you yourself can do the work to become who you want to be.

You survived the abuse, you’re going to survive the recovery.

No one can take away your pain, so don't let anyone take away your happiness.

I don't have to be an expert. I just have to care.

I was lucky enough to have a father who said, 'Don't quit.' So I just kept going.

As an actress, there were so many months, years even, when I didn't get work, when I wanted to quit.

I think people were expecting me to be that kind of glamorous sexpot. So they were always, Wow you're not what I expected.
