I simply can't build my hopes on a foundation of confusion, misery and death... I think... peace and tranquillity will return again.

[*] I keep my ideals, because in spite of everything I still believe that people are really good at heart.

I must uphold my ideals, for perhaps the time will come when I shall be able to carry them out.

I soothe my conscience now with the thought that it is better for hard words to be on paper than that Mummy should carry them in her heart.

We all live with the objective of being happy; our lives are all different and yet the same.

The final forming of a person's character lies in their own hands.

Boys will be boys. And even that wouldn't matter if only we could prevent girls from being girls.

I don't think of all the misery but of the beauty that still remains.

No one has ever become poor by giving.

Laziness may appear attractive, but work gives satisfaction.

Think of all the beauty still left around you and be happy.

Parents can only give good advice or put them on the right paths, but the final forming of a person's character lies in their own hands.

Despite everything, I believe that people are really good at heart.

There's people constantly asking you for something on set, so the multi-tasking of motherhood transfers very well to being a director. And I think you're compassionate.

Therapy? I don't need that. The roles that I choose are my therapy.

And my dad, you're a great actor but you're a better father.

If you ask people what they've always wanted to do, most people haven't done it. That breaks my heart.

I'd go from film to film and almost detach from one world and jump in another. I was living as these people and not having a self. I didn't know who I was. And things just get...

I never felt settled or calm. You can't really commit to life when you feel that.
