Even when I was in the orphanage, when I was roaming the street trying to find enough to eat, even then I thought of myself as the greatest actor in the world. I had to feel the exuberance that comes from utter confidence in yourself. Without it, you go down to defeat.

Life could be wonderful if people would leave you alone.

Simplicity is a difficult thing to achieve.

I hate the sight of blood, but it's in my veins.

I am what I am: an individual, unique and different, with a lineal history of ancestral promptings and urgings, a history of dreams, desires, and of special experiences, all of which I am the sum total.

They cheer me because they all understand me, and they cheer you because no one understands you.

I like to walk in rain, so that nobody can see my tears.
