Even as kids reach adolescence they need more than ever for us to watch over them. Adolescence is not about letting go. It's about hanging on during a very bumpy ride.

I know my mom said as early as she can remember letting me watch TV my one treat a week when I was like 6 was to stay up and watch 'Saturday Night Live.'

People are getting smarter nowadays they are letting lawyers instead of their conscience be their guide.

I'm interested in learning more about myself and what I value in myself and letting that be the beautiful part of me rather than putting on the makeup or wearing the right designer.

It's what still excites me most about acting: letting your imagination go places it's never been before. There's nothing better than that.

The thing that most attracts me to historical fiction is taking the factual record as far as it is known using that as scaffolding and then letting imagination build the structure that fills in those things we can never find out for sure.

One of the biggest challenges in my job is letting go of the movie once you go home at night and knowing you can't do anything to your performance once you've laid it on film.

I'm a private person too and we don't ever film anything in our home because it's off limits. It's like letting people see your messy house.

Recently I have come to assume that any call to my landline is from a telemarketer or an automated call from Terminex letting me know that our regularly scheduled pest-extermination service will occur on its regular schedule. So I usually ignore my home phone.

I think the key to happiness is allowing ourselves to not feel bad or guilty for feeling it and letting it be contagious. And to not be dependent on other people to create your own happiness.
