sin
I was told I had an overabundance of original sin.
guys
You guys ask really long questions. In the U.S., they just want to know who you're sleeping with.
dignity embraced focus greater humor personal struggles
Under pressure, she embraced her personal struggles with dignity and humor and always with the focus on the greater good.
kindness power imagination
When you start to develop your powers of empathy and imagination, the whole world opens up to you.
issues age looks
I look forward to being older, when what you look like becomes less and less an issue and what you are is the point.
dream book imagination
I was a voracious reader and the library fed my curiosity, imagination and my soul. I read by the shelf - biographies, fantasy - all and everything fed my dreams. Then as an adult whenever I would go on location the first thing we would do as a family is sign up at the closest library. Not only would we find books, but what was happening in that town, because the library is the head of the community.
opportunity thinking blue
9/11 just seemed to come out of the blue. And there were people asking questions, but then there were no answers. At some point, it just turned into, "We've got to do what we've got to do." And I think those are the moments when you grow, when you get the opportunity to try to figure out, exactly as you said, what price are you paying, and if it's worth that price.
usa office people
We stand a chance of getting a president who has probably killed more people before he gets into office than any president in the history of the United States.
strength strong thinking
I think I'm an actor because I have very strong imagination and empathy. I never studied acting, but those two qualities are exactly the qualities that make for an activist.
church taught sin
I always had a problem with original sin; I always had a problem with the exclusivity of the church and a lot of the things that the nuns taught me.
taken choices age
Do you really expect me to say gravity hasn't taken its toll? No. But as I'm earning these lines [in my face], I'm making an aesthetic choice.
fighting marijuana alcohol
It's ridiculous that we continue to incarcerate anyone for using a substance that actually causes far less damage than alcohol. No one goes out looking for fights on marijuana. No one dies from marijuana intoxication. And no one should be jailed for possessing marijuana.
latin mirrors doors
Being a Catholic, I was drawn to the mystery of the Latin and the smoke and the mirrors and all of that. That part of my disposition definitely did lend itself to finding my way to the back door of some artistic pursuit.
diversity choices boxes
If you walk down the street and see someone in a box, you have a choice. That person is either the other and you're fearful of them, or that person is an extension of your family.
