• I don't see myself as competing with other actresses. I mean, I went through a time when I was in New York, and I was going to lots of auditions and trying to get parts, but even then, you're not really competing with the other actresses. There is a competition going on, but it's not like something you can win in that way.

• If somebody asks me about the themes of something I'm working on, I never have any idea what the themes are. . . . Somebody tells me the themes later. I sort of try to avoid developing themes. I want to just keep it a little bit more abstract. But then, what ends up happening is, they say, 'Well, I see a lot here that you did before, and it's connected to this other movie you did,' and . . . that almost seems like something I don't quite choose. It chooses me.

• All you can do is make a piece of product, sell it on its own terms, stand behind it and hope that people will go see it. If you try to be like something else or appeal to any given group, then you can very easily end up being gratuitous and imitative. There's not much to be gained by that and I think too much time is spent going around trying to be like someone else.

• "When you wake up in the morning, Pooh," said Piglet at last, "what's the first thing you say to yourself?"
  "What's for breakfast?" said Pooh. "What do you say, Piglet?"
  "I say, I wonder what's going to happen exciting today?" said Piglet . Pooh nodded thoughtfully.
  "It's the same thing," he said.
  "What's that?" the Unbeliever asked.
  "Wisdom from the Western Taoist,"I said.
  "It sounds like something from Winnie-the-Pooh," he said.
  "It is," I said.
  "That's not about Taoism," he said.
  "Oh, yes it is," I said.

• I know how bad a thing it is to be a slave and I know how terrible it was but I don't believe that there's a free person in the whole world that knows how good a cup full of water can taste. Because you have to be a deprived slave, to be kept waiting for your water like we were to really appreciate how good just one swallow can be. When we finally got a drop on our tongues it was like something straight from the hands of the Almighty.
