There's been times when I've had heartbreaking moments and I'm like 'I can't believe you said that ' or 'I can't believe you did that'. And it hurts it still hurts and it'll always hurt but I've never had somebody that I truly cared about just walk out on me whether it was a boyfriend or an aunt mom or dad.

I think the moments that are difficult for anybody are when you see what your life could be if only you had the courage to take the steps needed.

That's what acting is - it's about... having the courage to allow your audience into the private moments of your characters' lives.

And I love that even in the toughest moments when we're all sweating it - when we're worried that the bill won't pass and it seems like all is lost - Barack never lets himself get distracted by the chatter and the noise. Just like his grandmother he just keeps getting up and moving forward... with patience and wisdom and courage and grace.

All of us have moments in our lives that test our courage. Taking children into a house with a white carpet is one of them.

I'm not geeky but I have my geeky corky moments and then I've got some aspects of cool in me I guess.

A lot of those little things that I really like doing are just moments of cool articulation just little moments of phrasing that probably go over everybody's head.

Gratitude bestows reverence allowing us to encounter everyday epiphanies those transcendent moments of awe that change forever how we experience life and the world.

There was a time in L.A. when I drove to 7-Eleven to go grocery shopping and I locked my keys in my car which wasn't insured. My wallet was in there and I couldn't call AAA because I only had $7 in my bank account. It was one of those moments where I was like 'O.K. I literally have nothing right now.'

Poetry is the record of the best and happiest moments of the happiest and best minds.
