The quality of light by which we scrutinize our lives has direct bearing upon the product which we live and upon the changes which we hope to bring about through those lives.

Like any good tree that one would hope to grow we must set our roots deep into the ground so that what is real will prosper in the Light of Love.

Anarchy is the only slight glimmer of hope.

Hope is being able to see that there is light despite all of the darkness.

The natural flights of the human mind are not from pleasure to pleasure but from hope to hope.

As for gun control advocates I have no hope whatever that any facts whatever will make the slightest dent in their thinking - or lack of thinking.

It's like if you can't focus on a movie for 90 minutes without looking at your phone then don't go to the movies! You've got some issues so you should probably stay home and work on those issues and not distract everyone with lights and sounds oh my gosh the tapping on the screens it makes me crazy!

Turn up the lights. I don't want to go home in the dark.

In all honesty at that time I never saw myself as an author... I was just a Mom in a state of panic trying to enter a short story contest to win the prize money in order to keep the lights on in my home.

Unless you have been to boarding-school when you are very young it is absolutely impossible to appreciate the delights of living at home.

By the time I got home at night my eyes were so chlorinated I saw rings around every light.

The day I finished 'Twilight ' I came home and started bulking up. For 'New Moon ' I'm 30 pounds heavier than I was in 'Twilight.'

The killer app that got the world ready for appliances was the light bulb. So the light bulb is what wired the world. And they weren't thinking about appliances when they wired the world. They were really thinking about - they weren't putting electricity into the home. They were putting lighting into the home.

I think I'm becoming more relaxed in front of a camera. I suppose I'll always feel slightly more at home on stage. It's more of an actor's medium. You are your own editor nobody else is choosing what is being seen of you.

You come to work and you laugh all day you go home and you feel light and there's a certain feeling when you're sitting with the audience and they leave after 90 minutes and it's just pure escapism and they're happy.

Drama can feel like therapy whereas comedy feels like there's been a pressure and a weight lifted off of you. You come to work and you laugh all day you go home and you feel light and there's a certain feeling when you're sitting with the audience and they leave after 90 minutes and it's just pure escapism and they're happy.

I am delighted to be back home in Galway the place I first came to as a 19-year-old in 1960. It's here where my heart is and will forever be.
