There are many different ways of being funny. I'm not sure that there's so many different ways of being dramatic.

In a very complex way, things have improved in the dramatic field. Before you had the good and the bad and you couldn't mingle them. Now it's more ambiguous.

I think being an actress is more how to cope with the fact that you can't do anything else than to express a talent. It's a way of being untalented for anything

I wasn't one to go out and buy a new car and stereo system and expensive clothes. My mom helped keep me grounded.

It is my responsibility to take advantage of my position to make the world a better place

Mystical bliss, joy and rapture are part of both yoga and vipassana. When the mind is concentrated, purified, bright, unblemished, free from defects, pliant and steady, this positive joy arises.

As long as you're too busy trying to become something that you're not, you can't see your own immortality.

We had to create an album where there wasn't one. I never listen to that album [ Music From the Edge of Heaven] because it wasn't an album.

A tragic writer does not have to believe in God, but he must believe in man.

One of the most valuable things you can do to create higher levels of trust is to trust others more. Don't wait for them to prove themselves to you. Trust them.

I used to love ninja movies. That was my thing.

We should all without shame enrol in the school of contemplative prayer.
