Marriage brings up all the things I pushed to the back burner - the fears, the mistrust, the doubts, the insecurities. It's like opening Pandora's box.

Marriage is wonderful.

I have a lot of amazing women, you know, women in my life who have been an example for me of what not to do.

A relationship isn't going to make me survive. It's the cherry on top.

I think a good relationship is about collaboration.

Cancer affects all of us, whether you're a daughter, mother, sister, friend, coworker, doctor, patient.

Life can be dramatic and funny all in the same day.

I had an idea of what I thought was funny. It's kind of based on how I am.

Look I eat really well and I work out, but I also indulge when I want to. I don't starve myself in an extremist way. You're not taking away my coffee or my dairy or my glass of wine because I'd be devastated.

There are no regrets in life, just lessons.

My dad became a soap opera actor, and I was an extra in a skating rink scene on the soap. I didn't audition. It was nepotism all the way.

You know, I've got wrinkles on my forehead and smile lines, but what's wrong with that? I love to smile.

I've developed into quite a swan. I'm one of those people that will probably look better and better as I get older until I drop dead of beauty.

Being uncool is being pretty much the coolest you can be.

I bemoan the fact that all my famous friends have places in St. Bart's and I have to go to Montauk.

I'm very much a romantic. I'm highly attuned to an older sensibility, which I believe is alive and well. We're not that far ahead of the Romantic Age in society.

The Germany I was enthused with was more old fashioned and kind of romantic. I just got there, and the next thing you know, I had this huge gilded album. It was kind of an amazing experience because I didn't intend it to be that way.

Life is a game and true love is a trophy.

I basically have needed to go to the piano and give voice periodically to, you know - I'm always afraid to describe it as a kind of therapeutic process, but nevertheless it was a type of unloading that had to occur due to my personal life with my mother's health or just my professional trials and tribulations.

Why be in music, why write songs, if you can't use them to explore life or an idealized vision of life? I believe a lot of our lives are spent asleep, and what I've been trying to do is hold on to those moments when a little spark cuts through the fog and nudges you.

I may not lead the most dramatic life, but in my brain it's 'War and Peace' everyday.

My cheeks explode when I smile. That's why I have to look so nonplussed.

It's just so cool when you meet people who are different than you are. That can give you a different perspective, a viewpoint on life, or inspire you. I mean, what would the world be like if we were all the same? I think it would be very boring.

I have so much respect for athletes like LeBron James. I get motivation from them because I know how many hours they put into it. It takes a lot of hard work and drive.

You know the best part of being a mom is getting that love. Honestly, you know, my son's love... a child's love is so pure, it just makes you feel so good no matter what.

My son has been the best thing that has happened in my life. He has been amazing, and he is truly heaven-sent. And so, I just feel all that love.

It's sad how people want to see us females go against each other. Never been for that. Never will.

Honestly, I feel like everything in life happens for a reason, and my son has been the greatest gift that God has given me in my life and been the most game-changing thing that's happened to my life, in a necessary way.

It's one thing to really dream and have a vision and want all these cool things, but it's a whole other thing when you actually have wisdom and understand things. Then you can truly make the best decisions.

Being a mom has changed me forever.

Being a mom to my son has taken precedence over everything in my life, and I think that's the order it should be... It's a great challenge that I don't think's ever gonna stop.

When you believe in yourself, and you always give 100% in a relationship, you're very confident in the value of your love. But for some people, there's that feeling that the grass is always greener.

Sometimes you have to stop to think, regroup and regather yourself and realize how lucky you are to still be living and to still be breathing and still be able to even have a chance.

If you don't embrace who you are and accept who you are, you won't be able to live a happy life.

A true friend is the greatest of all blessings, and that which we take the least care of all to acquire.

However rare true love may be, it is less so than true friendship.

What men have called friendship is only a social arrangement, a mutual adjustment of interests, an interchange of services given and received; it is, in sum, simply a business from which those involved propose to derive a steady profit for their own self-love.

If we are to judge of love by its consequences, it more nearly resembles hatred than friendship.

In friendship as well as love, ignorance very often contributes more to our happiness than knowledge.

One forgives to the degree that one loves.

We often forgive those who bore us, but we cannot forgive those whom we bore.

Repentance is not so much remorse for what we have done as the fear of the consequences.

Our aversion to lying is commonly a secret ambition to make what we say considerable, and have every word received with a religious respect.

True love is like ghosts, which everyone talks about and few have seen.

There is only one kind of love, but there are a thousand imitations.

There is no disguise which can hide love for long where it exists, or simulate it where it does not.

On neither the sun, nor death, can a man look fixedly.

As great minds have the faculty of saying a great deal in a few words, so lesser minds have a talent of talking much, and saying nothing.

There is a kind of elevation which does not depend on fortune; it is a certain air which distinguishes us, and seems to destine us for great things; it is a price which we imperceptibly set upon ourselves.

We all have enough strength to endure the misfortunes of others.
