The mind can calculate, but the spirit yearns, and the heart knows what the heart knows
We live in a world of denial, and we don't know what the truth is anymore.
I've always said I don't believe in God, I believe in Al Pacino.
I do respect people's faith, but I don't respect their manipulation of that faith in order to create fear and control.
You shall love. Whether you like it or not.
A part of being an actor is I people watch. I like to observe their behaviour, watch their reactions on the street and see how they talk to each other, and that's impossible when they are looking back at you. I used to enjoy taking the train and watching people in their own minds, struggling with themselves.
I'm a great believer in stunt doubles. They do an amazing job.
People are intimidated in court, and I try to make them more comfortable.
My mom taught me the power of love. I learned to focus on the long-term big picture from my father. His sense of humor and light-hearted approach always make me smile. My husband is a pivotal anchor in my life. His influence encourages me to be independent and take risks.
All you want is to be happy. All your desires, whatever they may be, are longing for happiness. Basically, you wish yourself well. . . desire by itself is not wrong. It is life itself, the urge to grow in knowledge and experience. It is choices you make that are wrong. To imagine that some little thing-food, sex, power, fame-will make you happy is to decieve oneself. Only something as vast and deep as your real self can make you truly and lastingly happy.
I have always regarded myself as the pillar of my life.
