In Los Angeles, I feel like the ugly duckling, like I'm from Venus or something.

Everyone wants to work in America. Maybe not blockbusters or Terminator, but to have the choice.

I want to travel. Maybe I'll end up living in Norway, making cakes.

I like characters who have strong facades and then have secrets. They have cracks.

I am a dreamer. Seriously, I'm living on another planet.

Don't be ashamed of who you are, embrace who you are.

I need to fall in love with someone. Sorry - I mean fall in love with something. I need to wake myself up.

I'm not really involved with politics... I'm living in my cocoon with my classical music around.

I don't believe in awards. It's very good for the ego, I suppose.

When we finish a book, why do we hold it in both hands and gaze at it as if it were somehow alive?

Jesus is with me. I have nothing to fear.

Bathe in the splendor of your own Light.

The life that the dawn brings us is the only life we have. Life is in the here and now, not in the there and afterwards.
