There isn't a King Lear for women, or a Henry V, or a Richard III. You reach a level where you can handle that stuff technically and mentally, and it's not there.

Women have got to stop being polite. If I ever had children, which I don't, the first thing I'd teach a girl of mine is the words 'f - off.'

Being powerful is so much more interesting than being beautiful.

You write your life story by the choices you make.

It has nothing to do with clothing or makeup. Just put your shoulders back and chin up, and face the world with pride.

Actors are rogues and vagabonds. Or they ought to be.

When you're 16, 30 seems ancient. When you're 30, 45 seems ancient. When you're 45, 60 seems ancient. When you're 60, nothing seems ancient.

I don't think it's good to try and change anyone. The trick and the mystery - of relationships and life in general - is to learn to live with the bits you don't like.

Parkinson's is a slow but inevitable process. It's hard living with it on a daily basis. The difficulty facing people with it is that they never quite know 'Can I or can't I do this today?'

I don't like the word 'strong,' because a strong character is never an interesting character. A character is made interesting by their vulnerabilities and their weaknesses.

Where you grew up becomes a big part of who you are for the rest of your life. You can't run away from that. Well, sometimes the running away from it is what makes you who you are.

No one like the Incomplete Stories, so does the God :-)

For me, there has never been one definition of beauty. I think we all have something to offer and when beauty shines from within, there can be no denying it

Looking out of a hospital window is different from looking out of any other. Somehow you do not see outside.

I do really crazy things all the time, but I can't think of anything offhand

I'm curious by individuals that embrace half a story so they can justify how incomplete they feel about their own self worth.

I think film is collaboration, and I always want to hear everyone's input.

I've experienced tons of failure. I've been making music for 30 years, and I'd say failure and success have happened in equal measure.

I have a natural curiosity for people.

Love should have no fear. It should have just free love, without any fear, without any aggression; enjoy that pure love.

Souls without prayer are like bodies, palsied and lame, having hands and feet they cannot use.
