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

If you take care of the woman in the family, the whole family prospers. But when the mother falters, the family falls apart.

The journey of life – we all go through it: You have love, you lose love, you find new love. To have love again is a beautiful thing.

I think each role takes a little from you and circles around you for the rest of your life. I don’t think you ever abandon any of them.

Don’t you worry about a thing, my darling. You live your life.

I just have a desire not to judge and view things compassionately.

Now my ability to notice things and respond to things and be here is far more profound. With that comes happiness, with it comes sadness, but it’s a beautiful life.

I suppose expectations are strange and I shy away from them. And the whole point of being an actor is to connect.

The way of love is the way of no-expectation. Love exists only when there is a total acceptance and no desire to change anything.

Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for.

Love is an irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired.

What a weary time those years were – to have the desire and the need to live but not the ability.
