What is important is to believe in something so strongly that you're never discouraged.
I'm concerned about my daughter because she will not believe in Santa Claus. No matter what I say to her, she just doesn't buy it, and she's 2. I refuse to give it up. I say, 'There is a Santa Claus,' and she says, 'Okay, Mommy. In pretend world, right?' She really doesn't believe.
Your empathy for other mothers is such a natural instinct and it's such a beautiful thing that we all connect, and we should all help each other.
I became obsessed with all these women who die never feeling they did anything extraordinary with their lives.
I believe that change keeps you young.
Life is about chasing after the things you think are truly worth it, even if they don't happen, I'd rather have nothing but know I didn't settle for something I didn't want!
This is not love. It is a crime... You can't look the other way just because you have not experienced domestic violence with your own flesh.
I realize now that I've hoped to be great - as an actress, as a mother - because I want to embody the greatness of women who didn't get to be all they could have been. Their dignity, their courage, and their brilliance make me strive to be better. They're a part of me.
I keep waiting to meet a man who has more balls than I do.
Sometimes evolving doesn't mean transforming; sometimes it just means owning what is there.
I proved to myself that if I believe in something and set my mind to it I could actually accomplish it.
People often say that 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder,' and I say that the most liberating thing about beauty is realizing that you are the beholder. This empowers us to find beauty in places where others have not dared to look, including inside ourselves.
Life is tough; and if you have the ability to laugh at it, you have the ability to enjoy it.
Before you do anything, think. If you do something to try and impress someone, to be loved, accepted or even to get someone's attention, stop and think. So many people are busy trying to create an image, they die in the process.
