Love has nothing to do with what you are expecting to get — only what you are expecting to give — which is everything. What you will receive in return varies. But it really has no connection with what you give. You give because you love and cannot help giving.
I think most of the people involved in any art always secretly wonder whether they are really there because they’re good or there because they’re lucky.
I would have been a terrible mother because I’m basically a very selfish human being. Not that that has stopped most people going off and having children.
I don’t feel the slightest interest in the next world; I think it’s here. And I think anything good that you’re going to do, you should do for other people here and not so you can try to have a happy time in the next world.
