I'm one of the world's most self-conscious people. I really have to struggle.

I've read all of Shakespeare and practiced a lot of lines. ... I am going to do Juliet first. Don't laugh. What, with what makeup, costume and camera can do, my acting will create a Juliet who is 14, an innocent virgin.

That's the way you feel when you're beaten inside. You don't feel angry at those who've beaten you. You just feel ashamed.

I think to love bravely is the best and accept - as much as one can bear.

When you have only a single dream it is more than likely to come true - because you keep working toward it without getting mixed up.

I am alone; I am always alone no matter what.

If I'd observed all the rules, I'd never have got anywhere.
