“My kids learned to be independent.” — Andie MacDowell Quote

My kids learned to be independent.

I think sometimes we seem to obsess on negativity.

We can sit around and go, okay, is there really a plan, does somebody really know what's happening, is it all planned out, because sometimes it just seems too remarkable to me the things that have happened to me.

I lived in Paris when I was 20 and 21, and actually knew people that worked for the government there, that talked about terrorism in the country 20 years ago.

I'm comfortable in front of a camera, and I'm used to being watched, although that kind of bugged me at first. On the stage, though, I'm scared. I really get frightened in front of people.

Most artists like to think of themselves as rugged individualists, as independent characters.

When the first million came in, I felt, 'My God, now I'm really independent.' That was a fantastic experience.

I've been doing independent films for 10 years, but one out of five didn't see the light of day.

I vicariously lived the life of an independent producer from the time I was 4 years old.

I miss independent record stores very much.
