The fact of the matter is that you can use your beauty and use your charm and be flirtatious, and you can get people interested in your beauty. But you cannot maintain that. In the end, talent is the only thing. My work is the only thing that’s going to change any minds.
I shouldn’t have stayed so long away. Every time I come here, I get so supercharged with energy. I truly believe that Israel is the energy centre of the world. And I also believe that if we can all live together in harmony in this place, then we can live in peace all over the world.
I think most children who are adopted ultimately want to meet their biological parents and often do. I think that is an important journey for children who are adopted to go on.
No one knows you better than you know yourself. Do the thing you want. Don’t wait for someone else.
Freedom comes when you learn to let go, creation comes when you learn to say ‘no’
My daughter has a problem picking things up in her room. So if you leave your clothes on the floor, we put them in a trash bag. She has to earn them back by being tidy. I’m a disciplinarian. Guy’s the spoiler.
I do think that the birth of my daughter was sort of a rebirth for me. It made me look at life in a completely new way. And that made me appreciate life in a way I don’t think I ever had before.
When you make a movie, it seems like there’s nothing but resistance. It’s kind of a miracle that any movie ever gets made.

Dress like Britney Spears and think like me, and everything will be fine.
To be brave is to love unconditionally without expecting anything in return.
The thing I like least about being famous is being overly scrutinized for everything I say and do.
I don’t take drugs. I never did. All the feelings that drugs are supposed to produce in you – confidence or energy – I can produce naturally.
Never forget to dream.
If it’s bitter at the start, then it’s sweeter in the end.
I think the biggest reason I was able to express myself and not be intimidated was by not having a mother. For example, mothers teach you manners. And I absolutely did not learn any of those rules and regulations.
Part of the reason I sort of shot out like a cannon out of Michigan and left home at such an early age is because I had to feel independent.
I hate being called a pop star. I hate that.
I like to be a team player. All the projects I do are collaborations. And I want to solicit the opinions and help of other people. I’m not interested in being the one in charge.
I grew up in a high school where it was very conservative, and I felt like people disapproved of me, and I felt like an outsider.
