“I am ready for everything, for anywhere on this earth, wherever God may send me, and I am ready to bear witness in any situation and unto death that life is beautiful and meaningful and that it is not God’s fault that things are as they are at present, but our own.”

“That is probably the hardest thing a person can learn, as I so often find in others (and in myself as well in the past) to forgive one’s own mistakes and lapses.”

“What critics call dirty in our movies, they call lusty in foreign films.”

“I’ve been really fortunate to be able to do different kinds of films in different scales, different genres, different kinds of roles, and that is important to me.”

“I really see no other solution than to turn inwards and to root out all the rottenness there. I no longer believe that we can change anything in the world until we first change ourselves. And that seems to me the only lesson to be learned.”

“To lose your prejudices you must travel.”

“Words can bruise and break hearts, and minds as well. There are no black and blue marks, no broken bones to put in plaster casts, and therefore no prison bars for the offender.”

“You cannot have passion of any kind unless you have compassion.”

“Every day we need to tell someone we love them. Touch them. Thank them for being. It’s so important.”

“Those against gay marriages say marriage should only be between a man and a woman. God… I of all people know that that doesn’t always work!”

“How can anything bad come out of love? The bad stuff comes out of mistrust, misunderstanding and God knows from hate and from ignorance.”

“I don’t dwell on the miserable. I skirt around that. Give it a wave. Wave goodbye and concentrate on the good things.”

“If I love someone, I love them always.”

“If it is love, it must encompass everything. The faults as well as the things you are proud of, and one has to be tolerant of one’s intolerancies.”

“I think marriage does give a sense of oneness that just being together can’t.”

“Every breath you take today should be with someone else in mind.”

“I believe in life and I’ll fight for it. I believe you have to put up your dukes and fight, even if you don’t know what you’re fighting against.”

“I’ve always been very aware of the inner me that has nothing to do with the physical me.”

“All I see in the mirror every morning is a face that needs washing.”
