I understand why people went nuts for 'The Artist.' We use words so much it's nice to be able to explore a different way of communication to be able to express silently what someone - or something - is thinking or feeling.

No passion in the world is equal to the passion to alter someone else's draft.

Any problem big or small within a family always seems to start with bad communication. Someone isn't listening.

Electric communication will never be a substitute for the face of someone who with their soul encourages another person to be brave and true.

Sometimes when we are generous in small barely detectable ways it can change someone else's life forever.

Kids are a huge sacrifice they change everything - but I'm ready to work for things of greater importance than going out to meet someone for dinner at 10 o'clock at night.

It's important to fall in love with someone you don't want to change.

Sometimes you could be in an unhappy relationship you are very much in love with someone but it's making you unhappy and you think things can change and you can work it out.

Anyone who's lost someone to cancer will say this that you have to struggle to try to remember the person before the diagnosis happened because they really do change - as anyone would change.

If you walk down the street and smile at someone that will get passed on to the next person. That has the power to change someone's day.

I was married to someone who wanted me to change. Become more adult more responsible. I began not to like myself not like what I do. I lost my identity. Everything began collapsing around me.

I read and walked for miles at night along the beach writing bad blank verse and searching endlessly for someone wonderful who would step out of the darkness and change my life. It never crossed my mind that that person could be me.

Accidents happen whether they're car accidents friendly fire drug overdoses. Accidents happen and they're tragic. It's like a bomb that goes off and pieces of shrapnel rip into the flesh of the family. It's the families that need the compassion because everywhere they walk every day someone reminds them of their loss.

You need someone to tell you how to do things like hitting your marks or driving a car so it looks right or getting out of a car so it doesn't take a million years of screen time.

And I think that if I were a for real celebrity that was recognizable everywhere I'd just crawl under a rock and you know have someone run over the rock with a car or something.

I think that people don't know how to do anything anymore. My father was a janitor. He could take a car apart and put it back together. He could build a house in the back yard. Today if you ask people what they know they say 'I know how to hire someone.'

I think there's a suspicion in the South of people putting on airs. You see it in most successful Southern politicians but you also see it in someone like Richard Petty who may be a multimillionaire stock car driver but he's also beloved because he has a nice self-deprecatory way about him.
