“I’m a person that carries everything that happened to me in my past, with me into the future. I refuse to let it make me bitter. I still completely believe in love and I remain open to anything that will happen to me.”

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.

I auditioned for the role of an angel in the Nativity play at school. I didn’t get it. I auditioned for Mary; didn’t get it. So I made up the character of the sheep who sat next to Baby Jesus.

I was taught a very strong work ethic that included punctuality, which I’ve always felt is a sign of respect for others.

I don’t really make decisions, I go with the flow.

You can ask me pretty much anything. There’ll be things I’ll go, ‘That feels a little too personal.’ But most things I don’t have a fear of being asked about.

The things that go on in my head are far more interesting than what actually happens.

I don’t really celebrate fame because I get enough attention.

As much as I have films and all that sort of stuff, a lot of my memories are to do with relationships and love.

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!

Jacob’s little smirk became a full-blown grin, and I knew he was picturing Charlie showing up to arrest him. This grin was too bitter, too full of mocking to satisfy me. This wasn’t the smile I’d been waiting to see.

Adversity attracts the man of character. He seeks out the bitter joy of responsibility.

Lovesick, bitter and hardened heart. Aching, waiting for life to start

The bitterest tears shed over graves are for words left unsaid and deeds left undone.

Have you felt the bitterness of a world without hugs?

I am neither bitter nor cynical but I do wish there was less immaturity in political thinking.

In life you have a choice: Bitter or Better? Choose better, forget bitter.

The saints had no hatred, no bitterness; they forgive everything and think they deserve much more for their offenses against God.
