“I’m willing to fly close to the flame.”

Sometimes your mistakes are you biggest virtues. You learn so much from the mistake. Those things that you think are the worst thing that’s happening to you can somehow turn around and be the greatest opportunity.

I find standing and posing for photos very awkward.

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.

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.

Souls shouldering the burden of false hopes, broken promises, fear like a burning flame. Maybe that’s why each one of us is so different yet the same.

I come down to the water to cool my eyes. But everywhere I look I see fire; that which isn’t flint is tinder, and the whole world sparks and flames.

I’m going to be a superstar musician, kill myself, and go out in a flame of glory.

You can’t live with no passion, no zeal: get up, go to work, come home, do it all again. That flame won’t grow without you stirring it.

I advise you to say your dream is possible and then overcome all inconveniences, ignore all the hassles and take a running leap through the hoop, even if it is in flames.

A thousand candles can be lighted from the flame of one candle.

Man’s goodness is a flame that can be hidden but never extinguished.

Set your life on fire. Seek those who fan your flames
