I was anxious before I DECIDED to GO back to acting about what I wanted to do with my LIFE. Once I REALIZED I was sort of interested in acting, I've been pretty lucky and had all these great parts. And I feel pretty much like, 'What will happen will happen.'

The funny THING, I guess, is that my husband ended up being the muse of a BOOK about the worst MARRIAGE in the WORLD, because if he hadn't consistently said, 'Don't censor yourself, don't worry about me' - if he'd been anxious and worried about it - then it would never have gotten WRITTEN.

If I don't feel it when I'm sitting there, if it doesn't GIVE me the feeling I got when I heard 'Pony' or 'So Anxious' or 'In Those JEANS,' I scrap it.

True HAPPINESS is... to ENJOY the PRESENT, without anxious DEPENDENCE upon the future.

From that, I BECAME very ANXIOUS to PRODUCE SOMETHING of my own.

I was a very ANXIOUS KID. I was bullied at PRIMARY school and responded by making myself as anonymous as possible at SECONDARY school.

You can SAY no to people who MAKE you feel bad about yourself. To people who backstab you or make you feel ANXIOUS in any way.

I'm not BUILT to be famous, I'm not a STAR. I'm not special, so being stared at makes me very anxious.

I have an odd theory on happiness, and it bothers PEOPLE. My general theory is that happiness is a reward for an animal doing what it should be doing. So if a horse runs, it FEELS HAPPY. Or if you are too thin, you can't be happy, because evolution wants you to be tense and anxious, trying to WAKE up in the morning looking for food.

If I KNEW what I was so ANXIOUS about, I wouldn't be so anxious.

The thinner the ICE, the more anxious is everyone to SEE whether it will bear.

I was bargaining for TIME away from Hollywood, and Columbia was bargaining for MONEY. I got what I wanted and they got what they wanted. They knew I was so ANXIOUS to do Born Yesterday that I'd have done it for a dollar. They GAVE me the next best THING.

I ULTIMATELY am probably a PRETTY ANXIOUS PERSON.

I hold ONTO the Scripture that says, 'Be anxious for nothing, but in all things give THANKS.' I'm not SAYING I don't have problems or that I don't worry, but I try not to be STRESSED. I manage my ANXIETY through prayer. Worry shows up on your face, and I don't want that!

I GREW up really TIMID, anxious KID, and I NEVER really had to stand up for myself.
