Having family responsibilities and concerns just has to make you a more understanding person.

If you have issues with family friends and people at work try and solve these issues head on so you can move on and concentrate on having the life you want. Think about what you can do so that you are happy with yourself - for instance eating right to feel great and energetic.

Being a Barrymore didn't help me other than giving me a great sense of pride and a strange spiritual sense that I felt OK about having the passion to act. It made sense because my whole family had done it and it helped rationalise it for me.

Over the last couple of years I've really worked toward balancing my life out more having a little bit more time with friends family and my boyfriend. There was a period of time when they were way down the list. It was all about music and touring and if everything fell by the wayside so be it.

No matter what you've done for yourself or for humanity if you can't look back on having given love and attention to your own family what have you really accomplished?

Happiness is having a large loving caring close-knit family in another city.

I have these visions of myself being thirty thirty-five forty having a family.

For me nothing has ever taken precedence over being a mother and having a family and a home.

Maybe there is no actual place called hell. Maybe hell is just having to listen to our grandparents breathe through their noses when they're eating sandwiches.

It just took all of that to come to a screeching halt to get to the point of having nothing for me to finally realize Hey what are you fighting with this for? Until then I hadn't claimed my faith as my own I had just grown up with it.

I just can't say enough about the actors having faith and trust in the writers and the writers having faith and trust in the actors.

Writers now are putting total faith in designers at Apple and Amazon. It's almost like a race-car driver having no input into how cars are designed.

I just sort of take it from a character perspective and I don't know if he was necessarily spiritual but I do think he had hope. He was a character that was comfortable having hope in his life and hope is faith.

Red Letter Christians believe in the doctrines of the Apostle's Creed are convinced that the Scriptures have been inspired by the Holy Spirit and make having a personal transforming relationship with the resurrected Christ the touchtone of their faith.

An unexamined faith is not worth having for fundamentalism and uncritical certitude entail the rejection of one of the great human gifts: that of free will of the liberty to make up our own minds based on evidence and tradition and reason.

I've learned to think in terms of having a long career. Actors can have very long careers that last until the day we die but there will be moments when you'll feel like you're a failure or when you're disappointed in yourself.

Having in my life been bitten by the jaws of both victory and defeat I must rush to add that success is to failure as butter pecan ice cream is to death.

So it is in poetry. All we ask is that the mood recorded shall impress us as having been of the kind that exhausts the imaginative capacity if it fails to do this the failure will announce itself either in prose or in insignificant verse.

Tragedy in life normally comes with betrayal and compromise and trading on your integrity and not having dignity in life. That's really where failure comes.

Now having had this experience I can't say really what they were looking for. I don't know their minds. But every time I see a reality show it seems that the most entertaining parts on other reality shows are when they make their guests look foolish.

I think a lot comes from having the experience of doing stand-up comedy. It allows you to figure out the psychology of an audience what things are funny and not.

Making movies is a very different experience in a lot of ways. It's difficult when you're used to owning the copyright and having a landlord's possessory rights - I rent my plays to the companies that do them and if I'm upset I can pull the play. But the only two directors I've worked with are pretty great.
