I'm not a good crime writer. I'm not good with plots... so I have to do something else.

Mankind can be very magnanimous, given the chance.

Today everything must be easy and it mustn't take time ... ready meals. Powdered hot chocolate and instant coffee ... Living takes time. We need to give each other time.

I believe I could commit a crime. We all can. It depends on which situations we find ourselves in. In despair, I would steal food if my children were hungry.

If we don't believe in the Devil, we won't be able to recognize him when he suddenly shows up.

If you want to be seen, you have to put yourself out there - it's that simple.

I don't cry. Well, you know, I think coming from an acting background that's really helped me because I more than anyone know that an actor creates a character.

Identity is part of drama to me. Who am I, why am I behaving this way, and am I aware of it?

It must be that evil communications corrupt good dispositions.

The meek shall inherit the earth. The rest of us are going to the stars.
