what hurts you, changes you.

The value of work is in its ability to challenge, teach, and transform you.

Don’t grieve. Anything you lose comes round in new form.

Art is not a mirror to reflect the world, but a hammer with which to shape it.

To be an actress is to be in constant flux, to never stop transforming.

The most beautiful thing in the world is to start a new life.

Something opens our wings. Something makes boredom and hurt disappear. Someone fills the cup in front of us: We taste only sacredness.

I begin with an idea and then it becomes something else.

Some painters transform the sun into a yellow spot, others transform a yellow spot into the sun.
