I want my boys to have an understanding of people's emotions, their insecurities, people's distress, and their hopes and dreams.

People think that at the end of the day a man is the only answer. Actually, a fulfilling job is better for me.

I'm aware that people I have loved and have died and are in the spirit world looking after me.

They say it is better to be poor and happy than rich and miserable, but how about a compromise like moderately rich and just moody?

I consider it one of the greatest accomplishments of my life that I have learned to sing.

I shall always be grateful for this curious love of history, allowing me to spend a lifetime looking back into the past, allowing me to learn from these large figures about the struggle for meaning for life.

The most common experience in my life is rejection. I've done over 300 auditions. No amount of drama school training can prepare you for that, in theory.

At some point, I realized that you don't get a full human life if you try to cut off one end of it; that you need to agree to the entire experience, to the full spectrum of what happens.
