Getting older is a struggle. I always feel that just under the surface of acceptance and enjoyment of the ageing process is a terrible hysteria just waiting to burst out.

The adrenaline feeling of jumping out of cliffs and bikes and all of that is very specific to the film. In 'Pac Rim' I'm not doing that so much. There isn't that touch stonework for me in it, but there is a lot of action.

It could be Grammy night, Oscar night, whatever - I don't feel the pressure to be there.

I had found a kind of serenity, a new maturity... I didn't feel better or stronger than anyone else but it seemed no longer important whether everyone loved me or not -more important now was for me to love them. Feeling that way turns your whole life around; living becomes the act of giving.

I'm still with that feeling that I am afraid of doing the wrong thing, because somebody is going to punish me.

I had almost three acres of land in Beverly Hills. And I had a big atrium of chickens because I love that feeling of being in the country and living from the soil.

Having my animals or my children with me exorcises that feeling of not being wanted.

I am a mother and I know the feeling of having a baby come out of my gut.

I really do seek to create music that is timeless, ... Each project takes on its own life, and the songs from "A Time To Love" are the most appropriate for the statement I wanted to make...The most important thing is, when I do give the music, I'm satisfied with it, that it speaks for what I want to do...It is a different kind of lyric; it's very picturesque. I can see everything that I'm writing, I can visualize all those things happening.

Sneaking out the back door to hand out with those hoodlum friends of mine.

One of many joyful moments with BB King was him letting me play 'Lucille.' ...The thrill will never be gone...

I do feel that there's a need to have some love out there,

The feeling of handing over the masters is you've done you're part and you're excited it's complete,

“Sometimes I get the feeling the whole world is against me, but deep down I know that's not true. Some smaller countries are neutral. ”

“I’m not a born actress, as such, I care about expressing feelings.”

“As a matter of fact, I rather feel like expressing myself now.”

“Though our feelings come and go, His love for us does not.” – C.S. Lewis

“Spiteful words can hurt your feelings but silence breaks your heart.”

They spoke very little of their mutual feelings: pretty phrases and warm attentions being probably unnecessary between such tried friends.

Fools rush in where angels fear to tread.

To be angry is to revenge the faults of others on ourselves.

Real are the dreams of gods, and soothly pass their pleasures in a long immortal dream.

“Let your heart feel for the afflictions and the distress of everyone, and let your hand give in proportion to your purse.”

“One can never consent to creep when one feels an impulse to soar.”
