We were as Hansel and Gretel and we ventured out into the black forest of the world.

Sometimes I get lost in watching a film. The sorrow, or the frustration, is when it doesn't happen for a long time.

I never had aspirations to go into politics or medicine. I always wanted to be an artist of some sort. I wasn't so politically motivated. I felt that the world from an early age was disappointing. My father taught me about the bomb, and it was eye-opening. From then on, I thought grown-ups needed to do a better job. I still think that.

People need space to air out their thoughts, to have a sense of themselves - unfettered by anything.

I like my time on earth. And no matter what kind of cards I've been dealt, I'm happy to be there.

Fate is like a secret friend that helps push you on into life.

Desire is hunger is the fire I breathe, love is a banquet on which we feed.
