You know, real artists, we expose our flaws. We long for intimacy.

I mean, I think that - as an actress, in particular, I'm basically a fool, and I see the world upside down.

For me, first of all, I love people, I love ideas.

Artists are the people that no matter what, pick up the pen, pick up a paintbrush. They take the time to translate what is happening to create something that resonates deeply with the rest of the people that are caught in the middle of their own reality.

Identity is an assemblage of constellations.

We who are in the arts are at the risk of being in a popularity contest rather than a profession. If that fact causes you despair . . . pick another profession. Your desire to communicate must be bigger than your relationship with the chaotic and unfair realities . . . We have to create our own standards of discipline.

Discipline — both mental and physical — is crucial.
