“I don’t want to be alone, I want to be left alone.”

I don’t believe in collective guilt, but I do believe in collective responsibility.

I have to be alone very often. I’d be quite happy if I spent from Saturday night until Monday morning alone in my apartment. That’s how I refuel.

Take care of the small circle around you. When you have succeeded with them, then move outwards, one small step at a time.

As much as I loved the art and discipline of the dance, it didn’t love me!

Fewer things are lovelier to me than a full-blown rose when it opens up its heart.

Paris is always a good idea.

Always be a first-rate version of yourself.

You have to keep breaking your heart until it opens.

I used to think the worst thing in life was to end up all alone. It’s not. The worst thing in life is to end up with people who make you feel all alone.

One thing you can’t hide – is when you’re crippled inside.

The greater the love, the greater the tragedy when it’s over.

Sometimes we are less unhappy in being deceived by those we love, than in being undeceived by them.
