Social media is a performance like any other form of entertainment, and acknowledging that is important.

When I work on a film, I always tend to relate to the crew.

The Village did a lot for me, of course, because it was my first movie.

I have very vivid dreams and nightmares, and my biggest fear is of some kind of dystopian future where we're advanced in every way except in our humanity.

Girls can do anything, for sure. Even running in the mud in heels.

That is one of the hardest things I have ever had to do in my life, running through the jungle in heels. Because also, mud was often times three feet deep, and that was full on for sure.

Right now as an artist, what I want to do is be a part of works that are unignorable. I couldn't be less interested in how people receive it, honestly. As long as it's unignorable.

The clearer that division [of social media] is between it not being a reflection of reality, and being a complete make-believe world, the more we're helping ourselves.

You can't become another person if you're not self-aware.

If someone down-votes you, or you don't get a like, or someone says something not cool, you project onto it the person or the people who have hurt you the most in life.

It was such a paradox for me that the only thing I know how to do is act, but that the first thing I abandoned while writing were the characters

Every now and then a man's mind is stretched by a new idea or sensation, and never shrinks back to its former dimensions.

To forgive a friend, one must practice generosity. To forgive an enemy, one must practice empathy. To forgive yourself requires charity. Forgiveness is a sacred act of gallantry.

Life is learning how to deal with traffic. It requires patience, a good sense of timing, and sometimes not giving in to the traffic but reshaping your life.

I am responsible for myself. I am exactly who I eventually wanted myself to be, I guess, without consciously knowing what I wanted me to be.

If you try your best to be the best parent you can be, you will have done all that a human being can do and all that God expects you to do.

Two things will get you to leap out of yourselves into the promises of God today. One is purity, and the other is FAITH, which is kindled more and more BY PURITY.

Do you have a multiple personality disorder?

Hours of solitude, hours of creation, hours of meditation. Solitude and meditation gave me an awareness, a perspective which I have never lost: that of solidarity with the rest of mankind.

The end of wisdom is to dream high enough to lose the dream in the seeking of it.
