I love acting; I love movie sets and movies, but, at the same time, there's something about the position of women in that world that frightens me a lot. I find it nearly inhuman to be an actress.

I listen to a variety of music. The only common point is strong lyrics; I'm more obsessed with lyrics than music. I need to hear a form of truth, and if it's a hard truth, even better.

In England you laugh at yourselves, in France we laugh at others.

The whole point of art school is that you're going to be able to have nudes all day long and a teacher who is there to move you. It's great.

I think I was pretty much hated in France. The French press ignored me. There was a movement when the children of celebrities faced strong animosity.

I'm a very compulsive person, so I spend most of my time drawing or writing my diary, patching things up and carving bits of wood - I've carved two of my guitars.

I was raised by muses. Women who had men in awe of them and who wrote them movies and wrote them music.

It is impossible for me to get involved in films that I don't like, so I just wait for a project that really tickles my fancy.

There's something I find highly embarrassing about it. As soon as I think I've written something smart, the next day I've got nausea, thinking, "Don't even try to be smart, it's absurd."

I was always the funny-looking girl. I couldn't compete with the Brazilian girls. My nose is off, my ears are too big. But I think it's my personality that these designers were drawn to.

I like costumes. I am always dressing up - I'm very English like that.

When the actions of others no longer matter, then you will have succeeded within your own mind.

Dwell on the beautiful miracles of life.

If love is the music of the heart, then philosophy should be the music of the mind.

Don't worry about the ones who don't recognize your worth. Not everyone has an eye for talent.

To pattern government after a kingdom is not to reflect the heavenly vision of God’s kingdom

I love romantic films and love drama. Any film that has romance or romantic element is my comfort.

My mom always told me drinking water was the most important skin care tip. I also think the less you do to your skin the better. I'm a fan of simple and natural products.

I spent my days on the riverbanks, in the woods, in the fields, shooting, hunting and stalking. I unravelled everything within my life. Self discovery is most important to me.

When you deal with nonfiction you deal with human characters.

I've never been to rehab, I've never been to psychotherapy or the doctor or anything like that. I went to a church and I was prayed for, and I've always had a great relationship with God.
