Colin [Farrell] I talked to several times on the phone, and I said, remember, we have only twenty-five days of doing the movie [Miss Julie], so you must know some of your text. I was a little un-feminist, I didn't want to say [bossy voice] "learn your text!" But when he came, he knew all his text.

I just think that sometimes it is less hard to wake up feeling lonely when you are alone than to wake up feeling lonely when you are with someone else. Some people would be better off alone, but they feel they've got to get hold of someone to prove they're worthwhile.

I realize that we've come to a different way of showing movies. But I'm still with the old ways, and I can't change.

Hollywood is loneliness beside the swimming pool.

Nothing ever comes to an end. Wherever one has sunk roots that emanate from one's best or truest self, one will always find a home.

It's better to wake up alone knowing that you're alone, than waking up with someone and still be lonely

I believe we come to earth with sealed orders. I believe that only those who lack passion look down on purpose.
