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

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.

Corporate partners help UNICEF fund our programmes for children, advocate with us on their behalf, or facilitate our work through logistical, technical, research or supply support.

Bambi has a profound effect on children because it's about losing your mother.

I love children and I love men, but I can't commit to either for the rest of my life.

We're all like children. We may think we grow up, but to me, being grown up is death, stopping thinking, trying to find out things, going on learning.

Public opinion polls are rather like children in a garden, digging things up all the time to see how they're growing.

For example, UNICEF works with governments to change legislation such as in India where a law was passed raising the age of compulsory school completion to keep children in school and away from the workplace for longer.

I'm not up on today's television for children, because it's mostly cartoons that don't seem to interest me.

When I see children, I see the face of God. That's why I love them so much. That's what I see.

We have three cats. It's like having children, but there is no tuition involved.

Instead of needing lots of children, we need high-quality children.

Disney had such a hold on the mind of America-they were Adolf Hitler. The whole country thought Disney was some sort of god and that animation was some sort of pure thing for children.

Fiction came quite a while later. I began with short stories and fiction for children.

A drunkard would not give money to sober people. He said they would only eat it, and buy clothes and send their children to school with it.

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.

I believe very firmly that gay people of every stripe and age should be role models for all children, and that means interacting with them.

In fact I have nightmares about having children. I want to carry a baby and feel the life within me and in my dream, I do. But every time after it's born, there's this incredible fear, this pounding pulse of fear. It's a real bad nightmare.

When you are getting ready to become a mom, being in love with someone just isn't enough. You need to think about whether he would be a good parent and raise your children with similar beliefs.

The real question isn't whether you love your kids or not, but how well you are able to demonstrate your love and caring so that your children really feel loved.

I am glad that I do not have any children.

I just did a picture book called The Wildest Brother on Earth, and you will find both of my children in there.
