“It’s so bizarre, I’m not scared of snakes or spiders. But I’m scared of butterflies. There is something eerie about them. Something weird!”

I’d like to be wise. You have to go through a lot to get there, but I’m willing to go through a lot.

I yearn for things, but at the same time I am just peaceful.

Even as a child I had a strong relationship with yearning and desire. And loss. Those things spoke to me.

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?

I can’t run away when I’m scared. I always have to attack. That’s how I deal with seemingly difficult things.

Experience keeps a dear school, but fools will learn in no other, and scarce in that.

I’m scared that every girl I care for will find a better man and end up happier in the long run.

There are no forbidden questions in science, no matters too sensitive or delicate to be probed, no sacred truths.

To have a relationship that is pure and passionate and beautiful – I think people are scared of having that now. Especially guys.

I want to stay hopeful, even though I get scared about why we’re even alive at all.

When love has fused and mingled two beings in sacred and angelic unity, the secret of life has been discovered so far as they are concerned.

Two of our scarcest resources in life? Time & Attention.⁣
