Being at the pinnacle of my career is not to turn up in some multiplex blockbuster.

Every moment of living has its own logic, its own meaning.

Acting has always been such escapism for me.

It's lovely to work with a group of actors who make you laugh and smile.

When it comes to my work, I'm fearless. I go with my gut.

I need someone who understands an artist's mentality. I couldn't be with someone who wouldn't let me have my freedom.

I'd love to work on a real girl piece with some fabulous actresses. I feel like I've worked with so many men.

I don't want to be doing fashion shoots and being interviewed about where I shop. Who cares?

I think when you're an actor and you're drawing on your emotions all the time, you need to be quite steady.

The reason I act is because I'm trying to understand why people are as they are.

I'd prefer to go under the radar and just do the acting without being famous for it.

My heart is a blooming rose of self-love.

What a shame to be so angered by what you don't have that you treat what you do have like it's nothing.

The test of leadership is not to put greatness into humanity, but to elicit it, for the greatness is already there.

Ever since I could remember anything, flowers have been like dear friends to me, comforters, inspirers, powers to uplift and to cheer.

Modesty is the highest elegance

If we allow our thoughts to arise and dissolve by themselves, they will pass through our mind as a bird flies through the sky, without leaving a trace.

I do a lot of ceramics.

If my life was to have a single, all-satisfying, unifying passion, it would have to be God's passion.

When you are doing any work, do not think of anything beyond. Do it as worship, as the highest worship, and devote your whole life to it for the time being.

I feel sublime Then I lose ground Tripping on words That have no sound of love
