“Success is liking yourself, liking what you do, and liking how you do it.”

“How do you make yourself not like someone?”

“What do you care? You always liked loneliness better than you liked people. No offence — liking yourself’s the beginning of all love.”

“Do not keep saying to yourself, if you can possibly avoid it, "But how can it be like that?"”

“It didn't matter what you looked like. It was how you carried yourself, how you saw yourself.”

“Self-discipline is the ability to make yourself do what you should do, when you should do it, whether you feel like it or not.”

“You'll never achieve real success unless you like what you're doing.”

“But as an actor you do want to challenge yourself and step outside what you have done in the past and that what I like to do, I like to jump around and try different things and stretch myself.”

“Better to work for yourself alone. You do as you like and follow your own ideas, you admire yourself and please yourself: isn’t that the main thing? And then the public is so stupid. Besides, who reads? And what do they read? And what do they admire?”

“Like all of my fictions, Sinner is a mirror. Look into it and you will find yourself. What you do with what you see is your choice.”
