And I don't believe that I have to stay on one side of the fence or the other. I don't believe that there is any good career move or bad career move. I believe there are only the things that make me happy.
I believe that parts of people like John Garfield and Moms Mabley, the parts of them that I needed to be able to do what I'm doing, came into me. There's a very nice feeling that there are many, many spirits inside of me looking after me . . .
You have to believe in yourself in spite of what other people believe.
My family is Jewish, Buddhist, Baptist and Catholic. I don't believe in man-made religions.
I am where I am because I believe in all possibilities.
I believe strongly that most people in this country [U.S] don't want [a totalitarian state]...And when conservatives say, "Get the government out of my backyard," the reality is, you can't say that and put somebody in the White House who's gonna be in your business.
If you're willing to stand for what you believe in ... you won't need advice from me, because you will be able to handle whatever comes.
I don't believe that there is any good career move or bad career move. I believe there are only the things that make me happy.
I fear waking up one morning and finding out my life was all for nothing. We're here for a reason. I believe a bit of the reason is to throw little torches out to lead people through the dark. When you're kind to someone in trouble, you hope they remember and are kind to someone else and so on. Soon it will be like a wildfire....
We had some cute stuff to say, but you all don't care about that.
Sometimes I wish that I could run as fast as they do and do just 90 percent of the things I see those folks doing. I would have loved to have learned how to be a really good soccer player because I really like soccer.
There's no better place in the world for meat, conversation and good old-fashioned friendship.
Most people still have this idea that if you're doing what is considered a sport you don't get to be a girl. You get to be a tomboy, which is one of those words that I actually hate.
When you are kind to someone, you hope they'll remember and be kind to someone else and it will become like wildfire.
