#1
“I love that you can be laughing one minute and crying the next, and then be shocked the next. I like things that provoke emotions to such extremes.”
#2
“I would probably say I identified more with drama. I’m a really emotional, sensitive person. I’m family-minded and I’m the youngest of four kids. I have nine stepbrothers and sisters. And I love drama. I really do.”
#3
“I’m at peace with myself and where I am. In the past, I was always looking to see how everybody else was doing. I wasn’t competitive, I was comparative. I just wanted to be where everybody else was. Now I’ve gotten to an age when I am not comparing anymore.”
#4
“I’m much more of a realist. I’m really practical. I’m the kind of person that calls my business manager and says, OK, if it were all to end today, how many months do I have to live?”
#5
“You know that you’re going to invest so much of your time on a movie when you direct it that it’s something that just really has to jump out at you and pull at your heart, and nothing has.”
#6
“Everyone has problems. When you think you want to end your life, maybe you could be there for someone else and can learn something.”
#7
“I would not be good with someone who did drugs. As long as I know something, I can deal with anything. I’m really good. But what I’m not good with is inconsistency. And I’m not good with not knowing.”
#8
“When I was a kid I didn’t feel like I fit in because – this is really silly and I probably shouldn’t say it, but, I didn’t think anything was funny. So I used to go home and literally cry to my mom and my step-dad at the time and I didn’t think anything was funny. I couldn’t laugh.”
#9
“Aging gracefully is one thing, but trying to slow it down is another. Sometimes I use Botox. Compared to most, I use it very sparingly. One time I did too much, though. I feel weird if I can’t move my face, and that one time I overdid it, I felt trapped in my own skin. I don’t have a problem with any of that stuff; if it makes you feel better about yourself and it’s done properly, then fine.”
#10
“I’ve got some great guy friends. They can start out as crushes. But when you realize something isn’t going to happen, you make a choice whether or not the friendship is worth it. And it usually is. Then you can laugh about the fact that you used to have a crush on him or he had one on you.”
