A really strong woman accepts the war she went through and is ennobled by her scars.

As a general rule I don't plan to travel with my Oscars but we may have to make an exception.

This little kid pointed at me and said 'You look disgusting!' That was the first time I thought maybe I did. I decided I'd better start eating. I'm just thankful that I made it through with relatively few scars.

Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls the most massive characters are seared with scars.

The soldier above all others prays for peace for it is the soldier who must suffer and bear the deepest wounds and scars of war.

My grandmother was a kind of Scarsdale New York society woman best known in her day as the author of the 1959 book 'Growing Your Own Way: An Informal Guide for Teen-Agers' - this despite being a person whose parenting style made Joan Crawford's wire hangers look like pool noodles.

There is something beautiful about all scars of whatever nature. A scar means the hurt is over the wound is closed and healed done with.

When we talk about Oscars it's almost as a symbol of excellence and the American public and the worldwide public accept that symbol. So a movie like 'The Artist' that costs $14 million has to go out and compete with movies that cost $140 million. How does David deal with Goliath?

Show me your hands. Do they have scars from giving? Show me your feet. Are they wounded in service? Show me your heart. Have you left a place for divine love?

I think all women go through periods where we hate this about ourselves we don't like that. It's great to get to a place where you dismiss anything you're worried about. I find flaws attractive. I find scars attractive.
