I've always been at war with myself, for right or wrong.

I think happiness is overrated. Satisfied, at peace-those would be more realistic goals.

You must lose everything in order to gain anything.

I would love to work in a Bollywood film as there is so much drama and colour in the films there.

Why not stand up, pump your fists in the air, and scream like a maniac? -

I have discovered that I cannot ignore the infliction of suffering - especially for my convenience or pleasure! It's as if a puppy is being kicked in front of me. I must try to do something.

From day one, I got addicted to being on stage and getting the applause and laughter.
