I think both nature and grace live within everyone, and I always strive to be in a world of grace and compassion.

You know, it's recently come into focus for me why I want to be an actor: It's because of the connection I feel to people.

I've spent my life being embarrassed.

I try not to fake anything.

Put others before yourself, unselfish love, do unto others as you would have done to you.

We need more points of view from women and we need more support for female directors and writers in the industry.

I'm the unknown everyone's already sick of.

If someone does something bad to you, you do something worse to them so they never mess with you again.

I want to be involved in a story that makes a difference.

I just want to do what I feel is right in my heart.

No matter what, I'm going to ask for more.

It's okay to be ambitious, it's okay to be over-prepared.

I always say I am a realist, and my mom says, "No, you just have anxiety."

Every time you fail, you learn more.

I feel like the bigger risks that I take, the more I learn. I know that I learn more from my failures than successes.

My first husband and I are still good friends and there is no earthly reason why I should not see him. Larry and I are very much in love.

I know I am right for Scarlett. I can convince Mr. Selznick.

My parents were French and Irish and our family even has Spanish blood-and I do so love the United States and consider myself part American.

You can't act on an empty stomach, because you're breathing's all wrong.
