"There are some things I wish I never knew, but I am grateful for things that I have learned, too."

"For me, if something fits properly, it makes me feel good."

"I have a whole closet in my house that's dedicated just to jackets and coats, stuff that I've collected over the years."

"It's so easy to get used to playing a role. Then all of the sudden when you're tossed out of it, it's almost like you have to remember how to act again!"

"My husband and I are just really laid back people."

"'The Fight Club' DVD is great. I like anything that has really good extras because as an actor, it's really great to see the behind-the-scenes stuff and see how different actors approach their particular project."

"A lot of times you have to dip into the independent world to find the really great projects and the really great scripts. They're out there - you just have to search hard."

"I really like suspenseful movies and movies that make you think."

"I really like 'The Three Kings' DVD. I love that movie and all the extra footage and documentaries."

"I am just your everyday, average girl. I live by the beach. I wear flip flops. I don't wear make-up. I go to the gym."

"I have some amazing fans! They're just so dedicated and so nice and so sweet. I'm, like, no one and I'm just starting out, and these people appreciate your work and it's nice to hear that."

"In the field of love & connection, love is the alignment of two souls speaking a language that words can never fully translate."

"To love is to see the quiet beauty hidden within another's struggles and stand by them. As a statesperson & leader, this is the foundational truth I have observed."

"The greatest force of creation is the warmth we share in the quiet spaces of our connection."

"In the field of innovation & tech, technology is the canvas where human imagination meets the logic of physical reality."

"We do not build machines to replace our thoughts, but to expand the boundaries of what we can dream. As a influential author, this is the foundational truth I have observed."

"The future is compiled from the small lines of code we write today in search of harmony."

"In the field of creativity & art, to create is to take a leap of faith into the quiet canvas of your own imagination."

"Art is the expression of our deepest questions, painted in colors that words cannot reach. As a scientist & scholar, this is the foundational truth I have observed."

"Every act of creation begins with a willing heart and the courage to make a mistake."

"I must ask the Lord to direct the Holy Spirit within me to drain the life out of sin and in prayer."

"The books of C.S. Lewis had a very profound, indirect effect on me."

"I'm not against technology, but all tools should be used to their best advantage. We should be spending our time on things that have staying power, instead of on the latest thought of the latest blogger - and then moving on quickly to the next blogger."

"I never get to the end of mortifying sin because sin in my heart, where it's still marauding even though it's no longer dominant, sin in my heart is constantly expressing itself in new disorderly desires."

"Evangelical churches are weaker than we realize because we don't teach the confessions and doctrine."

"My advice to a new husband is nothing more than 'husbands, love your wives.' And 'love your wife as Christ has loved the church.' Never forget that you are Christ's representative in serving your wife."

"I'm amazed at the amount of time people spend on the Internet."

"In some Old Testament books, it's very evident that an editor has been at work. That's quite all right. It's part of the process."

"I'm saying that an editorial process that is preparing the material for publication counts as part of the inspiring process whereby God, in his sovereignty, gave every word."

"Christianity has stayed stable, as it must do. The doctrines don't change. The understanding of what it means to walk with God doesn't change. The reality of worship doesn't change, not at heart, anyway. So Christianity appears to be stuck."
