As one goes through life, one learns that if you don’t paddle your own canoe, you don’t move.

I restore myself when I'm alone. A career is born in public — talent in privacy.

We turn not older with years, but newer every day.

Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it.

I have stood on a mountain of no's for one yes.

I am all the things I have ever loved.

There is no gate, no lock, no bolt that you can set upon the freedom of my mind.

The best advice I ever got when I was starting out: Never give up. And I never did.

If you wake up and the day feels broken, just lean into the crack.

Living with regrets is like driving a car that only moves in reverse.

I'm an idealist. I don't know where I'm going, but I'm on my way.

All art is autobiographical; the pearl is the oyster’s autobiography.
