The energy of the crowd fuels something new inside. It reminds me to live in the moment.
Moments are so fleeting; I want to hold on to the good ones.
When I am truly present, I feel alive, and I want everyone around me to share that feeling so we can make the most of that moment together.
Quiet moments recharge me.
It's important for everyone - working moms especially - to find moments to ground themselves and connect with their own breath.
Every moment is beautiful; delicious even!
Be driven, be focused, but enjoy every moment, because it only happens once.
I was able to see it with my eyes in South Africa and I thought that I needed to come to the ground too.
I think Mariah is going to have a great night. It's very nice to see people not give up.
My coming here has helped. I have been able to speak and meet the people who are experiencing the problem. Now I understand very well what is happening and I can work with the image in mind.
It's perfect for me, ... It's a period piece, and I'm totally in love with period pieces. And that it is about this woman who was a classical prodigy, who grew up in Harlem, where I grew up, who is obviously half-black and half-white, like I am, who studied classical (music), like I did. But the twist comes in for me, obviously, because the time period had so much tension.
I love the song. And I love Bono. I believe AIDS is the most important issue we face ... I urge everyone to recognize the extreme disaster Africa is facing and step up.
I've gotten more into my feminine side. It's sexy but with an edge. I like to try new things, whether people like it or not.
Everyone on the set had been working on films for 20-plus years. I was enraptured.
