Buddhism has had a major effect on who I am and how I think about the world. What I have learned is that I like all religions, but only parts of them.

You know what daring really is to me? It's maybe much more simple: the willingness to get up and try it again. It's not about whether or not you fall down, it's how you get back up. And I've taken quite a few tumbles, myself.

It's one of the things that weirdly I always used to like about my job: that expressing the emotions of a writer or someone creative and breathing empathy and life into a character people can then identify with, that they'd feel less alone.

To be with a man who hasn't tried every line, who hasn't broken up with a woman every which way you can break up with them, is kind of nice.

It is better to have a relationship with someone who cheats on you than with someone who does not flush the toilet.

Change is usually preceded by some kind of drift.

Thats when you know youve found somebody special. When you can just shut the f**k up for a minute and comfortably enjoy the silence.
