Scents as well as clothes and hairstyles can go a long way in revealing a part of yourself

You cannot live your life to please others. The choice must be yours.

Whatever you are made of, be the best of that.

A man told me that for a woman, I was very opinionated. I said, 'for a man you're kind of ignorant'.

I have no aspirations of world domination through the pop charts. None at all.

I believe I've always been a big believer in equality. No one has ever been able to tell me I couldn't do something because I was a girl.

I think that people had this idea that I sat at home and sucked on lollipops and ate cotton candy while I watched cartoons - wearing a tiara.

Oftentimes, what you wind up learning is very different than what you expect.

A lot of things that happen in the world make me a bit crazy.

Your imagination is your most important tool, as an actor, as cheesy as that sounds.

A Director Makes Only One Movie in His Life. Then He Breaks It Into Pieces and Makes It Again.

Writing is physical for me. I always have the sense that the words are coming out of my body, not just my mind.

Whenever anything changes and quits its proper limits, this change is at once the death of that which was before.

Is a gesture of charity genuine or is it a kind of deep moral tax write-off?
