Friendship is a pretty full-time occupation if you really are.

I have always tried to be a decent person, to do the right thing.

Acting is God's revenge on those who lied and did not believe in Him.

I love causing much chaos and huff, that's all.

My life has been a tapestry of rich and regal beauty, with the violent and dark threads of life running through it.

It's all about the work. The rest is just details.

I was raised to believe in hard work and perseverance.

Beauty is an ecstasy; it is as simple as hunger. There is really nothing to be said about it.

I've never minded being in the public eye.

Love is better than hate. I believe in the power of love.

In Hollywood, brides keep the bouquets and throw away the groom.

I think the AIDS crisis has taught us a lot about compassion.

My mother was right: When you meet the man who will be your husband, you will know.

Acting is not about being someone different. It's finding the similarity in what is apparently different, then finding myself in there.

I don't believe in guilty pleasures. If you like it, enjoy it.

Life is a dream, and we are the dreamers.

I've always been drawn to strong women characters.

Happiness is having a large, loving, caring, close-knit family in another city.

I thank God for my breakdowns; that means I had something to break.

The fact that I got a little bit older? No big deal. I'm just more aware of myself.
