I don't think people should do things that they're not comfortable with, unless they want to stretch themselves in that way and challenge themselves.

The early part of my career was the 1990s, and I was living in New York working as an actor. It was the world I was in. A lot of companies had a great deal of money.

Theres plenty of great independent films to do, but you cant support yourself making independent film as an actress.

When people are struggling, thats a painful place to be in, to not know who you are and where you belong and what you desire.

I was never that famous, but I do think going to college and really getting away from the business and taking a true break is incredibly, incredibly important if you start acting at a young age.

I'm interested in acting because I'm interested in exploring humanity, and we're all nuts, we're all damaged, and we're all gorgeous, so anything less than that is dishonest to me.

How frail the human heart must be―a mirrored pool of thought.

How many lives are frittered away, age after age, in endless coming and going. Find out who you are!

I've always had a fascination with making your own music but never have been skilled enough to play the instrument, so to be able to make music without the ability was awesome.

Besides, nowadays, almost all capable people are terribly afraid of being ridiculous, and are miserable because of it.

It's my pleasure and honor to be here fighting on HBO and in the United States.

Don't be scared to walk alone. Don't be scared to like it.

I think the Americans fished out the same condom but found it had too many holes in it.
