(E o que mais dói) é viver num corpo que é o sepulcro que nos aprisiona (segundo Platão), do mesmo modo como a concha aprisiona a ostra.

Pés, para que os quero, se tenho asas para voar.

Isolar-se no próprio sofrimento é permitir que ele destrua o interior.

No dia a dia suporto muito mais do que imagino.

Nada é definitivo. Tudo muda tudo se move, tudo gira, tudo voa e desaparece.

Cada tic-tac é mais um segundo da vida que passou. Fugiu e não voltará. E já que a vida é intensa e com tantos interesses, o problema é descobrir como vivê-la.

O que não me mata me alimenta.

Não creio que as margens de um rio sofram por deixá-lo correr.

A beleza e a feiura são miragens. Através delas os outros podem ver o nosso interior.

Escolha uma pessoa que olhe você com magia.

Se eu pudesse lhe dar alguma coisa na vida, eu lhe daria a capacidade de ver a si mesmo através dos meus olhos. Só então você perceberia como é especial para mim.

Eu sou a desintegração.

Amuralhar o próprio sofrimento é arriscar que ele te devore a partir do teu interior.

Bebia para afogar as mágoas, mas as malditas aprenderam a nadar.

Pinto a mim mesma porque sou sozinha e porque sou o assunto que conheço melhor.

Agora, vivo num planeta dolorido, transparente como o gelo. É como se houvesse aprendido tudo de uma vez, numa questão de segundos. Minhas amigas e colegas tornaram-se mulheres lentamente. Eu envelheci em instantes e agora tudo está embotado e plano. Sei que não há nada escondido; se houvesse, eu veria.

Espero que a partida seja feliz e espero nunca mais voltar.

Se existe vida após a morte, não me esperem, porque eu não vou.

Diego, houve dois grandes acidentes na minha vida: o bonde e você. Você, sem dúvida, foi o pior deles.

Pensaram que eu era surrealista, mas nunca fui. Nunca pintei sonhos, só pintei a minha própria realidade.

Dialogue does not happen when we are adversaries.

The bond between friends cannot be broken by chance no interval of time or space can destroy it. Not even death itself can part true friends.

It's tricky, performing the show live. Because when you're in a big auditorium, in front of 700 people, the natural tendency is to want to talk louder. You want to project.

As both a scientist and a humanist myself, I have struggled to understand different claims to knowledge, and I have eventually come to a formulation of the kind of religious belief that would, in my view, be compatible with science.

I always think in life passion supersedes everything.

I don't know the figures, but Hollywood must buy 100 rights for every movie that actually gets made.

My parents separated it, and that let me know that TV life wasn't my normal life; that was my job and my hobby.

Silence is better than unmeaning words.

A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery while on a detour.

In order to have an enemy, one must be somebody. One must be a force before he can be resisted by another force. A malicious enemy is better than a clumsy friend.

Habits are good if you have the habit of the best.

No means yes in grasshopper language.

Failure is the opportunity to begin again more intelligently.

I'm glad I brought this course, this monster, to its knees.

St Paul, in his second letter to Corinth, spells this out further in the important eighth and ninth chapters, where he urges some of the Christian communities to be generous to others so that they may also have the chance to be generous in return.

Every time there's a new tool, whether it's Internet or cell phones or anything else, all these things can be used for good or evil. Technology is neutral; it depends on how it's used.

Complexity serves nothing but our ego. Be able to say what you do in a way that people can understand.

In my office I have a sign that says, 'Don't think. Just write!' and that's how I work. I try not to worry about each word, or even each sentence or paragraph. For me, stories evolve. Writing is a process. I rewrite each sentence, each manuscript, many times.

Acting has been very useful to me.

I still find the idea of a research-heavy or historical novel daunting. That's something I've had in mind for a while: like, would you research for a year and then start writing? I sit down, and I just don't know how to write it.

Every other show that I'm on, they're always rushed, and you feel this pressure to hurry up and get out of the scene, but I don't feel that way on 'Transparent.' They like to linger in these scenes.

There's more pressure as a writer. As an actor you usually just go, do your job, and go home.

It certainly was unusual growing up with two fairly well-known pastors as my parents.

My identity is always at the forefront, and I also think that every article that is written about me refers to me as an Israeli architect.
