The only thing I know is that we came from the stars, and that we have the same material as the stars. That's all that I know. Everything else I don't know.

It's a great role for any age. Any actress wishes they would find a screenplay that means as much to them as "Aquarius" meant to me, as a person and a citizen.

I grew up in a very open-minded family. My father died when I was very little, so my mother was really, really incredibly busy trying to provide for us.

We can bring to characters dark and bright sides that nobody even dreams about.

I have two kids now and through watching them, I keep having flashbacks to my own childhood.

I think of a movie as a human body. You can feel the pump of the heart and the blood going through the veins when you watch that scene.

You can keep yourself alive. That's the magic of being an actor.

Women at my age they are making love, they are feeling sensual, they flirt, they have boyfriends, they have a sexual life. They are just not being represented in the movies.

I didn't like the script [of Aquarius], I loved it.

An expensive coffin does not decrease the deceased’s chances of going to hell.

Don't write when you're angry and under deadline, with time to test it only on friends who know what you mean, not on strangers who don't.

In science read by preference the newest works in literature the oldest. The classic literature is always modern.

Every moment that you share someone else's pain, feel what they feel, makes you more human.

I pray that god answers, maybe I'll ask nicer

The best situation is where they cast you and then they trust you.

Alasdair Fraser's Culburnie Records has quietly become one of the best Celtic music labels today.

I don't know what "Altmanesque" means, though I suppose I'm flattered by it.

The Turkish road is not my model because I am critical of the way you are dealing with freedom of expression, of how you are dealing with the treatment of minorities, and your economic vision.
