The scariest thought in the world is that someday I'll wake up and realize I've been sleepwalking through my life: underappreciating the people I love making the same hurtful mistakes over and over a slave to neuroses fear and the habitual.

I was set free because my greatest fear had been realized and I still had a daughter who I adored and I had an old typewriter and a big idea. And so rock bottom became a solid foundation on which I rebuilt my life.

On the other hand when I give it closer thought I realize I'm not enough of a dictator to conduct an orchestra because it requires a pretty awful person. When you read these biographies of famous conductors they are all awful people who fail in their private relationships.

It's always a little mind-boggling to realize that these famous actors know who I am.

When you're rich and famous you are the dominant force in a relationship even if you try hard not to be. I've talked of sacrificing everything for Fleetwood Mac but I realize now that it is simply the only thing I've ever wanted to do.

I always loved working as an actress but I didn't understand why I couldn't just opt out of being famous. And then I realized you can and I think I did. And eventually I came to understand that you can do that and also keep working.

The first time I went to Johnny Depp's house in LA is when I realized what I was getting myself into. I knew he was famous but I didn't really know what that entailed.

I would look at a dog and when our eyes met I realized that the dog and all creatures are my family. They're like you and me.

Family's first and that's what matters most. We realize that our love goes deeper than the tennis game.

God's dream is that you and I and all of us will realize that we are family that we are made for togetherness for goodness and for compassion.
