While success has hardly come overnight for me, it always comes..

The new celebrity thing is going to take some time to get used to because I really am not used to that!.

Write what disturbs you, what you fear, what you have not been willing to speak about. Be willing to be split open..

You can't tell someone they are wrong about their own life..

John Hughes loved improvisers..

I say a lot of things I shouldn't say..

I'm in love and I'm happy. Don't you see it?.

We were searching for ourselves in each other..

Sleep is good, death is better; but of course, the best thing would to have never been born at all..

Take what you got and fly with it..

Nothing is menial where there is love..

It’s what you do that counts, not what you consider doing..

The same hot lightning that burns your blood with passion–– cools your fears with peace..

I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow. I feel my fate in what I cannot fear. I learn by going where I have to go..

You must act in the face of reality, never taking counsel of you own worst fears..

That's what poems are for, unlivable love..

I outlived the bastards..

I was crazily, deeply, incredibly, joyously, terrifiedly in love..

I got to be constantly reassured that somebody loves me..

One will never reach distant shores, if he chooses to remain upon the dock, In fear his little ship of dreams may be dashed against the rocks..

Courage isn't the absence of fear; it's the dealing with it..
