Knowing what I know of love, I hang back because I don't like to lie to myself.

I adore people who ask questions and who cause others to share in their search.

On the surface I look fragile and insecure; you have to know me very well.

I had never even thought I'd be an actress - I was supposed to be a lawyer. But the motivation is the same: when you act, you defend a role; you have to be convincing. It's the same career.

I try to live the moment and not obey laws, rules, conventions, or norms; to react to a sensation, a feeling, or an emotion. You can't program emotion.

It's terrifying, that unconditional love you have for a child. I still wonder if she really came from me, from my womb. It's a miracle. I don't understand it. I live it very intensely.

Actors should be timeless and impersonal.

To what purpose is it to be artificially happy on the surface?

You have to get it in your brain that you don't belong to yourself as an actor, but that you belong to the director who creates the character.

When I’m passionate about something I strive for excellence, judging whether or not I achieved it is up to the audience.

God is not ignoring your prayers, He is working behind the scene perfecting all that concerns you, praise Him.

Knowing why you are is your purpose.Knowing who you are is your style.Knowing what you are is your character

From all that I saw, and everywhere I wandered, I learned that time cannot be spent, It only can be squandered.

Seeing creates growth.

Each person can achieve balance by cutting a few things out and seeing how it goes. If you cut something out, and it goes well, and your life is better, you keep doing it.

I’m not interested in what people think about me. I’m not Michael Schumacher.

he cult of productivity has its place, but worshipping at its altar daily robs us of the very capacity for joy and wonder that makes life worth living...

We need to make a world in which fewer children are born, and in which we take better care of them.

History must always be taken with a grain of salt. It is, after all, not a science but an art.
