There were points in my life where I felt oddly irresistible to women. I'm not in that state now and that makes me sad.

There's only two people in your life you should lie to... the police and your girlfriend.

I never had a policy about marriage. I got married very young in life and I always think in all relationships, I've always thought that it's counterproductive to have a theory on that.

Well, a girlfriend once told me never to fight with anybody you don't love.

Frankly, I got into the movies because I like the movies a lot.

I think that's what distinguishes Schmidt, really. In the movies now, so much of what is appealing to an audience is the dramatic or has to do with science fiction, and Schmidt is simply human. There's no melodrama; there's no device, It's just about a human being.

The minute that you're not learning I believe you're dead.

Early on, if I was alone two three nights in a row, I'd start writing poems about suicide.

If men are honest, everything they do and everywhere they go is for a chance to see women.

It's a slight stretch of the imagination but most people are alike in most ways so I've never had any trouble identifying with the character that I'm playing.

An anniversary is a reminder as to why you love and married this person.

As with any moderately famous person, footballers are the source of much gossip. In fact, I'd go as far as to say they are targeted. The fun part as their partner is not knowing who, or what, to believe.

I was the youngest and on my own a lot. I think this probably taught me independence and how to be okay with my own company. Also, it meant I read a lot.

Marriage isn't always cupcakes and Jesus juice, but it's important to show each other your marriage is a priority and that you still love them.

It's important to show each other your marriage is a priority.

Life isn't always really glamorous and fabulous. It's about encouraging people to go back to natural beauty.

The most deadly fruit is borne by the hatred which one grafts on an extinguished friendship.

For me the greatest beauty always lies in the greatest clarity.

A single grateful thought toward heaven is the most perfect prayer.

Absolute truth belongs to Thee alone.

I'm going to write a book, continue acting, continue motivational speaking and just share with people who I am and what I've learned in my second chance of life and pass it on to people in their first chance of life.

I've learned in my life that it's important to be able to step outside your comfort zone and be challenged with something you're not familiar or accustomed to. That challenge will allow you to see what you can do.

I also want to go to an Italian island and do cuisine properly with some famous Italian chef and, like, his mother.

I get way too much happiness from good food.

I'm the first one who sees every romantic comedy in theaters.

I was embarrassed that I even wanted to become an actress because coming from L.A., with two older sisters in the business and a mom who had been a ballet dancer, it was such a cliche.

I had a great drama teacher in high school, and that's when I started to learn about the history of theater.

What keeps you confident in a healthy way is knowing that everyone else around you is going to support you and teach you and you're going to learn from them. I just feel open to learning from people.

Everybody can make a choice to be more positive. It's about who you hang around and what you choose to watch on TV. What environment you put yourself in. It's easy to get a negative internal dialogue. You have to be aware of what's playing in your mind.

We should celebrate Christmas throughout the year, but I believe the whole concept of giving was the basis of Christmas, that it was a charitable, you know, giving, and I think we got carried away with giving.

We try to keep a good line of communication open with our children. It's not always about trying to just teach them every moment, but it's about listening to them and trying to understand them and gain that sense of communication so when they need to talk to someone, they know that we're there.

It is my desire to break the destructive generational cycle of illiteracy in the home by focusing on the children. Reading to your child has so much value as a parent because it opens the lines of communication.

Books are such a great way to spend time with your children, open lines of communication with your children, and just build that strong foundation.v

It's important to recognize that forgiveness is more than mere words; it's a heart attitude that induces a spiritual transformation.

Choosing forgiveness opens the door of your heart and makes way for a miracle in your life.

Oftentimes, people stay where they are in life simply because of fear. But do you know that fear isn't reality? It's only a thought in your mind.

I think that we have a great opportunity to impart our wisdom and our knowledge and our experience to this younger generation. It may be different times, but experience transcends time, and wisdom transcends time.

Choose to be kind. Choose to forgive. Let your love grow and shine so that people may look at the example of your life and glorify God in Heaven.

I think when you have an optimistic attitude, and you believe that God is guiding you, that you will find the good things in your life and that you will lead to good relationships and good people in your life. And you can make the most of what he's given you.

With His love, you can wake up every day with an attitude of faith and expectancy.

I love David's attitude in the Bible. He wasn't afraid to go against the trends. He wasn't going to be defined by the opinions of others.

God doesn't want us to merely sit around dreaming about things we can do and be. That's a good place to start, but a poor place to stop. God wants us to turn our dreams into action.

Even in the tough times, He's still a good God.

You are God's own masterpiece! That means you are not ordinary or average; you are a one-of-a-kind original.

Bitterness and unforgiveness block the flow of God's blessing in your life and actually hinder your prayers.

It's amazing what you'll discover if you start exploring what God has placed within you.

Let me encourage you to get up every day and focus on what you do have in life. Be thankful for the blessings of the little things, even when you don't get what you expect.

There are a lot of times that we feel like our hands are tied - 'I have no control over if I'm going to lose my job.' 'I have no control over if I'm going to be able to pay my bills.' You've got to realize that that's where your trust comes in. You have to trust God, and keep your hope, because your hope is what produces your faith.

Well, I - you know, the scripture says that God works by faith. And you have to have faith. You have to have trust in God so that God can work.

If you focus on the actions of others and allow them to constantly upset you, then you are handing your peace over to them and giving away your power.
