I'm against very wealthy people attempting to or influencing elections. But as long as it's doable I'm going to do it.
I love acting, of course, but being with my husband and my children always brought me the greatest joy and happiness in life.
The formula of happiness and success is just, being actually yourself, in the most vivid possible way you can.
I think that you find your own way. You have your own rules. You have your own understanding of yourself, and that's what you're going to count on. In the end, it's what feels right to you. Not what your mother told you. Not what some actress told you. Not what anybody else told you but the still, small voice.
The great gift of human beings is that we have the power of empathy.
The minute you start caring about what other people think, is the minute you stop being yourself.
What makes you different or weird, that's your strength.
A society made up of individuals who were all capable of original thought would probably be unendurable.
As for life, it is a battle and a sojourning in a strange land; but the fame that comes after is oblivion.
It's perfectly clear to me that religion is a myth. It's something we have invented to explain the inexplicable. My religion and the spiritual side of my life come from a sense of connection to the humankind and nature on this planet and in the universe. I am in overwhelming awe of it all: It is so fantastic, so complex, so beyond comprehension. What does it all mean -- if it has any meaning at all? But how can it all exist if it doesn't have some kind of meaning? I think anyone who suggests that they have the answer is motivated by the need to invent answers, because we have no such answers.
Avoid being a 'groan' up.
