I'm beginning to think of hope as a dangerous, terrifying thing.

Raindrops are my only reminder that clouds have a heartbeat. That I have one, too.

All I ever wanted was to reach out and touch another human being not just with my hands but with my heart.

The world is a mess and I want to laugh because all I can think is how horrible and beautiful it is, that our eyes blur the truth when we can't bear to see it.

I love walking into a bookstore. It's like all my friends are sitting on shelves, waving their pages at me.

Books are easily destroyed. But words will live as long as people can remember them.

The words get easier the moment you stop fearing them.

I can do anything I want. Be with anyone I want. And it'll be my choice.

I am a being comprised of letters, a character created by sentences, a figment of imagination formed through fiction.

It's the kind of kiss that inspires stars to climb into the sky and light up the world.

People seldom realize that they tell lies with their lips and truths with their eyes all the time.

Your dissatisfaction with yourself speaks of a self-absorption, a vanity, which always gets in the way of your truly coming to rejoice in life.

For every setback, do not get discouraged. Rejoice because you learned more than you expected.

Who I am is not the same minute to minute or day to day. There are far too many variables for that to ever be true, for me, or for anyone.

I'm a girl from a good family who was very well brought up. One day I turned my back on it all and became a bohemian.

Learning never takes place while you're talking.

The thing I love about television is that people watch you in their pajamas, and when they're eating dinner. You're part of the family.

A rain will fall, but the dirt it tough A pot a cook but the food nah nuff.

I think it's pretty obvious that women's stories are not necessarily being told in Hollywood and women are not necessarily being put in the leadership positions they deserve in mainstream film.

There's just something about being English. When you travel the world you feel more grateful.

Draughtsmen may be made, but colourists are born.
