Luise Rainer

One can be more than once in love - that's the most important thing.

I am sensitive to life, and somehow acting comes to me. I can't explain it.

In my acting, I have tried to do this - to present to audiences a living creature in whom they can recognise themselves or someone they know.

I have never had a current state of mind. My mind changes a great deal. I am very affected by any sorrow or sad thing, and I am very affected by joy and beauty.

Happiness lies in moments, and while you have it, you're not even aware; only afterwards do you know you were happy.

The secret of a long life is to never trust a doctor.

I don't believe in acting. I think that people in life act, but when you are on the stage or, in my case, also on screen, you have to be true.

I feel best in nature or near nature.

I admire people who are creative.
