I try to avoid conflict. I don't want people to be unhappy.

I'm not afraid of death, but I resent it. I think it's unfair and irritating.

You know, real life doesn't just suddenly resolve itself. You have to keep working at it. Democracy, marriage, friendship. You can't just say she's my best friend. That's not a given, it's a process.

Life is short and the older you get, the more you feel it. Indeed, the shorter it is. People lose their capacity to walk, run, travel, think, and experience life. I realise how important it is to use the time I have.

When I have a day off, I won't spend it at a Hollywood party. I'd rather be at home with paints and a blank canvas.

I have a multicultural background, so I tend to have an open mind about things, and I find other cultures interesting.

I love rehearsing, but a lot of directors don't, and some actors don't.
