When you start to develop your powers of empathy and imagination, the whole world opens up to you.
I look forward to being older, when what you look like becomes less and less an issue and what you are is the point.
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.

I just want my kids to love who they are, have happy lives and find something they want to do and make peace with that. Your job as a parent is to give your kids not only the instincts and talents to survive, but help them enjoy their lives.
It will be great when it’s not such a big deal when a woman gets a good job.
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.

I believe in using words, not fists.
Making love is like hitting a baseball. You just gotta relax and concentrate.
