A good piece of art raises questions.

It sounds trite, but I like telling stories.

There are people all over the world who like to write fan letters in the voice of their pet: 'Hello, my name is Fifi and I'm a labrador and I think you're great. Paw paw!'

Lentil dhal is the only thing I can cook.

As a child I loved ghost stories.

If you act scared, your body produces adrenaline.

A floor length backless black sequined dress would be my dream dress. As for my dream date - that would have to be a young Marlon Brando!

I always look for contradiction in a character.

Sometimes I can spend months doing things to make sure that my instincts work correctly, but ultimately it's still instinctive.

I've always had horrible Valentine's Days.

I'm not reinventing myself. I'm finding myself. There's a difference!

To succeed means you to sail across some difficult courses.

You can spend a lifetime trying to erase memories. It doesn't change the fact that they took place. Acceptance is the key.

Children have to be educated, but they have also to be left to educate themselves.

The problem is that your brain can't tell the difference between bad and good habits, and so if you have a bad one, it's always lurking there, waiting for the right cues and rewards.

Everybody plays their part in this world and not all parts are the same. So I look at it like whatever I was put here to do that's what the outcome is.

I will go to the garden. I will be a romantic. I will sell myself in hell, in heaven also I will be.

Live near to God, and so all things will appear to you little In comparison to eternal realities.

To saucy doubts and fears.
