You're not just writing in a vacuum, and then handing it over to someone else to shoot. You're writing, and then getting feedback from the actor and hearing their voice and how they play things.

Sometimes when I get home after a long day, I'll turn on music - I love Latin, disco, and pop - and do my own workout, even if it's a short one. Know a good song to work out to? 'I Will Survive.

Just because no one has been fortunate enough to realize how wonderful you are, doesnt mean you shine any less.

I like pretty conservative guys, good guys. I always look for the qualities I find in my father.

Lying about anything is the cruelest thing in the world you could ever do. Be who you are. Don't try to be someone you're not. It never works.

I'm very physical. It's an important part of being a woman - feeling good about yourself and really being in tune with your personality.

Personally, I don't tend to go into casting sessions. I try not to have a preconceived notion in my head because it just reduces my options or ability to find someone cool.

You are as much able as you know

That is an artist as I love artists, modest in his needs: he really wants only two things, his bread and his art - panem et Circen.

Appreciate every moment because this moment is your precious life.

The universe is change our life is what our thoughts make it.

We are all too much inclined, I think, to walk through life with our eyes shut. There are things all round us and right at our very feet that we have never seen, because we have never really looked.

All of life is a wager

It is very easy to overestimate the importance of our own achievements in comparison with what we owe others.

The breeding we give young people is ordinarily but an additional self-love, by which we make them have a better opinion of themselves.

The more qi-full you are, the more cheerful you are.

I have a profound passion for the act of flying. It's very freeing, with an intense physicality, but it also gives an Olympian, god's-eye view, which fuels a larger cerebral and structural analysis.
