sorry ideas order
I was raised with the idea that you can feel sorry for yourself, but then, get over it, because it doesn't get you anywhere. There was always this awareness that you have to be responsible for yourself in order to have what you want
hate tables i-hate
I hate table reads. I hate anything where you have to say the words out loud.
flower thinking people
I think people say women come into their prime in their 40s. And then for some reason our society just wants to go... it's like a dead flower.
men thinking interesting
I think it's interesting that women, by nature, are way more conflicted than men.
nice thinking issues
When I'm working I don't have room to think about myself and my own issues. It's really freeing. There is no room for me, which is really nice.
thanks stills toms
I learned everything about love, watching 'Splash.' That's why I'm still single, so thanks Tom Hanks and Daryl Hannah for that.
women swimming surprise
We all understand situations where it's swim or drown. Sometimes we surprise ourselves when we start swimming and see how well we can do it.
just-being
You always have this fear in a movie of just being somebody's woman.
acceptance equality marriage-equality
Marriage equality is about more than just marriage. It's about something greater. It's about acceptance.
good-friend thinking years
've had good friends who got married after they've been together for years and they've said that it was the "next step" for them. Or, they've said, "You just can't bail out anymore." And I've wondered, What made you think you could just bail out before [the wedding]? You don't invest that kind of time and energy with somebody and then just go, "All right, see you later."
reading looks world
I grew up in South Africa and I would look at maps and we were at the bottom of the world. There was this whole thing up there. I was always reading encyclopedias about the world. So travel was something I was always attracted to.
beautiful men thinking
It's ironic that we've built the beauty world around 20-year-olds, when they have no f - kin' concept about wisdom, what life is about, having a few relationships below [their] belt and feeling hardships, to grow into [their] skin and feel confident within [themselves] and to feel the value of who [they] are, not because of a man or because of something like that. And I think that's such a beautiful thing.
thinking damage needs
Our mechanics are engineered so that we can survive quite a lot, but I think our need to be loved is so great that it’s the thing that damages us the most.
bad-day yeah humans
I am human, and, yeah, I have very bad days.
