“If you don’t have the roots somewhere, it’s very difficult for people to work with you. Because you are a different person from them. They don’t know you, really. They don’t know how you feel.”

A woman’s dress should be like a barbed-wire fence: serving its purpose without obstructing the view.

And as I walk round the park I always think, ‘Maybe round the corner I am going to find something beautiful.’ I always think positively. It is very rare that you find me in a mood that is sad or melancholic.

I think the quality of sexiness comes from within. It is something that is in you or it isn’t and it really doesn’t have much to do with breasts or thighs or the pout of your lips.

I still don’t know what I want to do when I grow up.

As far as beauty is concerned, in order to be confident we must accept that the way we look and feel is our own responsibility.

After all these years, I am still involved in the process of self-discovery. It’s better to explore life and make mistakes than to play it safe. Mistakes are part of the dues one pays for a full life.

Transformation is something I cannot explain – too much analysis might destroy it.

You can always dream. Life is full of dreams that you can fulfill.

Many people think they want things, but they don’t really have the strength, the discipline. They are weak. I believe that you get what you want if you want it badly enough.

Success, I would find out, is interior. It has to do with self-fulfillment and the joy of living.

It’s necessary to have an energy that carries you forward. You need the will to live, to have a great curiosity. To look for the best in life, to find new interests.

There’s no pleasure in working if you don’t do the things you want to do.

I think the quality of sexiness comes from within.

I don’t like to go in places where women talk and gossip. The atmosphere I don’t like, even though you can sometimes meet nice people. For me, it’s a waste of time.

Be honest about what you can get. To make a sacrifice and to get what you want you need to be very certain. In other words: always think about your objective, have a clear goal and commit to it from the heart.

I have never judged myself by other people’s standards. I have always expected a great deal of myself, and if I fail, I fail myself.

Every being cries out in silence to be read differently. Do not be indifferent to these cries.

The whole idea is just to continue to make movies that I enjoy playing and that audiences are going to enjoy me in just to put out quality on a lot of different levels.

Being still and doing nothing are two completely different things.

Different experiences they shape and form our perspective.

There are doubtless certain unworldly people who are indifferent to money. I myself have never met one.

I definitely feel more complete than before. There’s a void you have when you don’t feel you’ve found the other part of who you are, so I’m in a different place now and that’s nice to experience.

We wait for things to be different in order to feel okay with life. As long as we keep attaching our happiness to the external events of our lives, which are ever changing, we’ll always be left waiting for it.

A different result requires doing something different.
