In order for me to write, I have to experience life. I write the songs based on real life, and I perform them from a very real place.
You learn from things that you experience in life. I'd never want to say that I regret anything or that anything was a mistake. Honestly, that isn't how I have chosen to live my life.
My professional life has been about public service. My personal life I define very intently through my family.
Those songs are about getting out; they're not about getting out of family. It wasn't about how family life was curtailing because I didn't know family life.
I have a kid and a husband and my family, and it's important to live the real life. I don't want to offer my whole life to cinema. It's only cinema.
I can't complain about my life. I have a really nice life. I have a great family and I live in a gorgeous part of the country.
For me, family is life. The decision to start one wasn't complex at all. My career has been wonderful, but it's not my life. I don't feel pressure to get back to work.
I discovered that the horse is life itself, a metaphor but also an example of life's mystery and unpredictability, of life's generosity and beauty, a worthy object of repeated and ever changing contemplation.
If you want to have a good life, you should focus on your family, on your business, on your dog, on your fun, and you'll have a good life.
In 'Tree of Life,' the cinematography records a small story, a celebration of the courage of everyday life. But it does it so up close and so effortlessly that it has the effect of elevating the intimacy of the story to a grand scale.
When you make that crossover from life to real life, when you're not treated as a child anymore but as a man, and you are no longer given the benefit of the doubt, it takes some courage to face that.
It's a great challenge to get to play a real-life character. Every actor would love to get a chance, at least once in his life, to play a real-life character.
Just when I think I have learned the way to live, life changes.
My life will change, because I want it to change; and also because this is something I'm committed to doing and that I believe my life has been leading towards.
I knew I wanted children in my life. The acting was always in relation to it. Life at home is chaos. They're wonderful. They're such interesting human beings. I just love it. I'm lucky.
My professional life shouldn't be an influence on whether I spend time at home. My career is my whole life's blood. It's my calling.
Embryonic stem cell research will prolong life, improve life and give hope for life to millions of people.
My wife is wonderful. She's one of the people who has changed my life around... or has allowed ME to change my life around.
Becoming a mother cannot help but change things. An author's life is reflected in their writing, whether they want it to be or not, and parenthood is one of the biggest life changes there is.
People lose people, we lose things in our life as we're constantly growing and changing. That's what life is is change, and a lot of that is loss. It's what you gain from that loss that makes life.
I know that I will never find my father in any other man who comes into my life, because it is a void in my life that can only be filled by him.
