"The formula of happiness and success is just, being actually yourself, in the most vivid possible way you can."
"I say to myself, 'I don't know how to act - and why does anybody want to look at me on-screen anymore?' ... Lots of actors feel that way. What gives you strength is also your weakness - your raging insecurity."

"Everything that truly makes us happy is quite simple - love, sex and food!"
"The great gift of human beings is that we have the power of empathy."
"What makes you different or weird, that's your strength."
"I think that you find your own way. You have your own rules. You have your own understanding of yourself, and that's what you're going to count on. In the end, it's what feels right to you. Not what your mother told you. Not what some actress told you. Not what anybody else told you but the still, small voice."
"The minute you start caring about what other people think, is the minute you stop being yourself."
