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 want to feel good, I want to feel proud, I want to feel that I give someone enough and that I get enough.

And you must dare to do as many things as you dream of.

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.

Even though things happen by accident, you also unconsciously choose things that help you.

I live for being with the people I love and to live as happily as possible.

It's true what people say - that actors are the closest thing there is to children. They play.

It should be only a part of my life, but it isn't. I have only one thing: my work.

Having children is what a woman is born for, really.

To be successful for a moment because of one movie doesn't mean anything.

It's so great to love somebody and, out of that, to make a child. So that's my goal.

You can learn so much from children, and you can give them so much.

Not that I want everything right now; but I do want everything.

I love oldies just kind of sweet, slinky, Fifties music. The slow stuff. And Billie Holiday.

I used to dance when I was younger - ballet and modern dance.

Water is always a support or a healing thing apart from, you know, love or peace of mind.

Water for me is so essential, like swimming.

I wish I played an instrument, but I could never decide which one, and I ended up playing nothing.

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?

I have these visions of myself being thirty, thirty-five, forty having a family.

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.

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.

Actors, after all, dream.

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 love men who make me laugh.

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.

I wish I had had a great disappointment, a real one.

It's pleasant and bothersome and embarrassing all at once. Especially when you haven't done much and are a celebrity.

I want to do movies but not talk about them.

Without feeling abashed by my ignorance, I confess that I am absolutely unable to say. In the absence of an appearance of learning, my answer has at least one merit, that of perfect sincerity.

Words are the children of reason and, therefore, can't explain it. They really can't translate feeling because they're not part of it. That's why it bugs me when people try to analyze jazz as an intellectual theorem. It's not. It's feeling.

The best compliment to a child or a friend is the feeling you give him that he has been set free to make his own inquiries, to come to conclusions that are right for him, whether or not they coincide with your own.

The feeling remains that God is on the journey, too.

I've always wanted to sing, just as I've always known that one day I would have my own niche in the annals of song. It was a feeling I had.

The methods of peace propaganda which aim at establishing peace doctrine by argument and by creating a feeling favorable to peace in general seem to fall short of reaching the springs of human action and of dealing with the causes of the conduct which they seek to modify.

I love making people laugh. It's an addiction and it's probably dysfunctional, but I am addicted to it and there's no greater pleasure for me than sitting in a theater and feeling a lot of people losing control of themselves.

Then came the choreography... the impact of music and choreography tends to really emphasize an overall feeling of what you really want out of the program.

On that road of the informer, it is always night. I cannot ever inform against anyone without feeling something die within me. I inform without pleasure, because it is necessary.

I was as big as I have ever been. I had a personal trainer and was working out. I was feeling good. I was muscular. I had never weighed more than 155 pounds.

Lately, I can't shake the feeling that I've been living a dream for the last 10 years or so; I can't account for most of my 20s, and I have to continually remind myself that certain people are dead now and many of my friends have children.

The key to the mystery of a great artist is that for reasons unknown, he will give away his energies and his life just to make sure that one note follows another... and leaves us with the feeling that something is right in the world.

Collectively, we must do more than simply watch, with resignation and a feeling of powerlessness, reports on the evening news about the latest terrorist atrocity.

But even if I'm left high and dry at the end of this wild journey, just taking it is a great feeling.

For me concrete poetry was a particular way of using language which came out of a particular feeling, and I don't have control over whether this feeling is in me or not.

They must have a feeling of do or die. It is such an overcrowded profession.

You know that day after day of, Oh God what am I going to do with myself feeling? The fear of the emptiness that it implies keeps me going.

But I remember feeling as a producer I felt like the guy who called the caterer and got the band; I had to work the party while everybody else was having a good time.

Faith means living with uncertainty - feeling your way through life, letting your heart guide you like a lantern in the dark.

The only thing that's a little tricky about it is sometimes people assume that if it's a new song, it's a reflection of what you're feeling or going through now.
