Ive never thought of my characters as being sad. On the contrary, they are full of life. They didnt choose tragedy. Tragedy chose them.

The best mother is the mother who adapts, and the best children are the children who adapt as well.

I love the unknown. I think because it brings fear, and to embrace fear is the best feeling.

When I won the Oscar, there was something telling me 'this isn't the truth'. I had to get back to real work.

For me, real, truthful moments come from a place that I don't know. If somebody was telling me, "You're going to lift your face like this, you're going to do this..." No! I don't want to know. Just let me live it.

I would say I'm humanly engaged.

For me, habit is just a synonym for death.
