I wouldn't say anything I ever did in film would be something I'd use the word proud about. I've done better work in the theater.

Failure's a natural part of life.

I've permitted myself to learn and to fail with some regularity. And that is probably the one thing I was given, and that I'm still grateful for.

And may the best of you - for it will only be the best of you, and even then only in the rarest and briefest moments - succeed in framing that most basic of questions, 'how do we live?'

Nothing you do particularly matters. But I'm not sure that's a great excuse for doing it poorly.

I don't have a saviour or a royal family.

What's ment to be will always find a way

I feel very happy since the Lord called me to step out in faith, and I obeyed. The Lord is our inexhaustible treasure.

I don't flaunt my money. I like to stay at nice hotels but I'm not a flashy chick. I haven't got much jewellery or anything.
