Towards my husband, I often fail to show interest in his affairs and amusements, not rousing myself to respond when I'm tired or concerned with other things, forgetting he is very patient with me.

The direction and constancy of the will is what really matters, and intellect and feeling are only important insofar as they contribute to that.

There is no place in my soul, no corner of my character, where God is not.

God is acting on your soul all the time, whether you have spiritual sensations or not.

Being on a trapeze is like dreaming. I feel totally outside of myself when I'm flying. You know, designing shoes, my imagination is flying in my drawings.

The general effect of viewing 'Jumanji' is thrilling. I was able to see on film a thing that at one point had only existed in my imagination. I got to see the images from my book come alive.

And I enjoyed the celebrity and the creativity that was involved in Star Trek.

I feel like 'Amelie' is very much an extension of me. She's a contemporary woman who sees the world through her imagination.
