“Ultimately, you’re left with the people you love and who love you- everything else fades into oblivion.”

I have always tried to be a woman who protects other women. I have a sister, I have daughters, I have girlfriends, and I was raised by a feminist mother.

I’m willing to fly close to the flame.

You can’t find peace by hiding from life.

I believe the experiences of life are more important than any film you make.

It’s good to have a little distance. If you discuss your love too much, it just damages it.

I love acting but I don’t like all of the other stuff associated with it. The interest in celebrities, the press, the Internet, when your identity becomes mixed up in the way people are perceiving you.

I’m not sure what the future holds but I do know that I’m going to be positive.

It’s my job as an actor to commit to the role and not – through my own inhibitions – run away.

I like exploring life and its complexities.

It took me a very long time to heal. It was a shock to my system.

The thing you hate about yourself tends to be the thing that everyone likes about you.

I think it’s important that we don’t all have to hold our heads high all the time saying everything’s fine.

People can tell you what to do, but ultimately, we’re all going to die, so how do you want to live?

It’s very easy for a couple to experience joy together. But when you experience pain together, it can lead to such depth and such union. That is when you fuse.

I think when you’re in a relationship where you really care for the other person, when they achieve their dreams it’s better than when you do yourself.

You’re either going to walk through life and experience it fully or you’re going to be a voyeur. And I’m not a voyeur.

The very concept of objective truth is fading out of the world. Lies will pass into history.

Beauty fades. Your spirit is forever.

In time, the hurt began to fade and it was easier to just let it go.

Night, when words fade and things come alive.

What horrifies me most is the idea of being useless: well-educated, brilliantly promising, and fading out into an indifferent middle age.

It’s better to fade away like an old soldier than to burn out.

All things fade and quickly turn to myth.

The rain will stop, the night will end, the hurt will fade. Hope is never so lost that it can’t be found.
