I'm very aware, but I'm very naïve. When you are really naïve and expecting safety and expecting the best, you don't feel you're taking risks. You can get smacked a little, but usually it works out pretty well.

We were supposed to be the children mad, tempestuous, brilliant, talented, not terribly smart children.

...One individual is his or her own best teacher, and no other idol or false image should be worshiped or adored because the God we are all seeking lies inside oneself, not outside.

There are stars who are proficiently paranoid enough to hide what they really think. I can't.

Audrey was the kind of person who when she saw someone else suffering tried to take their pain on herself. She was a healer. She knew how to love. You didn't have to be in constant contact with her to feel you had a friend. We always picked up right where we left off.

I believe in UFOs, I believe in extraterrestrials, and I believe in angels. And maybe they'll protect all of us.

Sex is hardly ever just about sex.

I hoped that the trip would be the best of all journeys: a journey into ourselves.

Someday perhaps change will occur when times are ready for it instead of always when it is too late. Someday change will be accepted as life itself.

An actor has many lives and many people within him. I know there are lots of people inside me. No one ever said I'm dull.
