Actors, after all, dream.
Also, I tend to get totally excited about one thing, then I move on to something else after a while.
And I've become more honest, more intense in my life without pushing it.
And you must dare to do as many things as you dream of.
But because of these different experiences, and often because of their pain, older people's lives are very fascinating to me.
But when it really happens I'm very fascinated, I'm waiting for the moment, because the moment where life abandons you and death steps in, that moment must be fantastic, no?
But yet there is no perfect father or mother.
Even though things happen by accident, you also unconsciously choose things that help you.
Everything It's important not to treat your dreams as, Oh, they're just dreams.
For me, directors were like father figures most of the time.
Having children is what a woman is born for, really.
I always have the feeling in these low states that something good is about to happen. That's when I feel the fullest, the rawest, the closest to myself.
I am beginning slowly to accept myself, accept the less good things about myself.
I can fall into a depression just to experience something new.
I do wear lipstick because when I suddenly get pale or green, it seems whole blood goes away.
I had a great childhood. I had such fun.
I have these visions of myself being thirty, thirty-five, forty having a family.
I live for being with the people I love and to live as happily as possible.
I live for my family and for us to be together and to stay together, even if there are obstacles and the road is rocky.
I love men who make me laugh.
I love oldies just kind of sweet, slinky, Fifties music. The slow stuff. And Billie Holiday.
I love running, swimming and riding, sleeping and eating, reading and loving things that everybody likes.
I love wise people, truly wise people.
I never had a father, and that was always a big issue in my life.
I often feel with God and humans and angels that it's up to us to make something or to break it, to do things or not do them.
I tell my kids that something can start with a dream and that, more often than not, you can really go for something if you believe in it.
I used to dance when I was younger - ballet and modern dance.
I want to do movies but not talk about them.
I want to feel good, I want to feel proud, I want to feel that I give someone enough and that I get enough.
I want to get back to yoga because that really centers you and makes you strong.
I wish I had had a great disappointment, a real one.
I wish I played an instrument, but I could never decide which one, and I ended up playing nothing.
I'd also like to do a play. I've never done theater, and constantly changing and refining a performance is something I'd like to do, even though it may sound like work to some people - and it probably is work.
I'm fascinated by older people, but I need young people.
I'm not terribly consistent, and that worries me.
I'm pretty much a vegetarian, but I do eat fish and sometimes chicken.
I've been taking lessons for a year or so and every time I hear a piano playing, it goes through and through me, so I'm going to buy a little piano.
I've really learned that you have to be a lot with yourself mainly with yourself.
It should be only a part of my life, but it isn't. I have only one thing: my work.
It was never my intention to remain an actress all the time, so maybe I'll stop acting pretty soon.
It's pleasant and bothersome and embarrassing all at once. Especially when you haven't done much and are a celebrity.
It's so great to love somebody and, out of that, to make a child. So that's my goal.
It's true what people say - that actors are the closest thing there is to children. They play.
Just now, I've been working all the time and I don't have much of a personal life.
Movies with Marilyn Monroe really had an impact on me.
My parents found what I was interested in and encouraged me. They didn't put me in front of a television and buy lots of toys, the way some American parents do.
Not that I want everything right now; but I do want everything.
Of course, it's good to have fights every once in a while.
Some people dance through life, not having a steady job or a steady marriage, and this and that.
Something very important is missing from my life: consistency.
The worst thing is that I become like the man I'm involved with.
The years go so fast. I mean, I just realized that at the end of the year I will be twenty-two, and I just turned twenty-one.
To be successful for a moment because of one movie doesn't mean anything.

Water is always a support or a healing thing apart from, you know, love or peace of mind.
What I do requires an openness, and the more open you are, the easier it is to get hurt.
When a woman receives flowers from a man, it fills up your heart. It's, like, love's coming your way.
When I do a movie, I don't want freedom.
Why must one cross many oceans in order to find what's beautiful, even though it's so easy, or could be so easy, but one makes things so hard for one-self.
You can learn so much from children, and you can give them so much.
You play a part, and as soon as a movie is over and the camera stops, you go home and you're not really responsible for what you've done.
