Women are just more oriented toward feelings - and I don't mean that in a negative way. But with a male actor and a male director, the emotional exploration can only go so far. With a female director, you can end up exploring so many more depths.
All American males are failed athletes, and it was big time even if it was Little League. It meant a lot to you.
You do come to a point where you can get your life in control a bit. But going through life, you discover these deep, dark things in yourself that you cant run away from, so you have to learn to embrace them. I mean, the difference between a murderer and myself is only that I choose not to do it. But Im totally capable.
We're very reluctant to change, even though we know that all things change, and especially our relationships are just determined to change.
If you get yourself in a hole, you dig yourself out.
If I'm not a successful human being, who I am?
I never caught on to being a bully.
I accept the dying process. I would just like to be as healthy as I possibly can at each step and phase along the way.

Everyone chases a bit of what they say life is about: money, desire... But when you stop chasing, you realise life is a rhythm and it's very peaceful, very quiet. You see, it's quite a miracle.
I have a high degree of sensitivity, always have. I was very shy as a child. I don't know why that was.
The way you conquer fear is to feel it all the way, and then you'll find out that there's nothing there - it's just emotion.
