I've always thought of acting as more of an exercise in empathy which is not to be confused with sympathy. You're trying to get inside a certain emotional reality or motivational reality and try to figure out what that's about so you can represent it.

To all those who have suffered as a consequence of our troubled past I extend my sincere thoughts and deep sympathy. With the benefit of historical hindsight we can all see things which we would wish had been done differently or not at all.

Two nations between whom there is no intercourse and no sympathy who are as ignorant of each other's habits thoughts and feelings as if they were dwellers in different zones or inhabitants of different planets. The rich and the poor.

It's nice being brought up with no money at all. It's just not how I measure success so that makes it a bunch easier.

Well I believe that the depth of your struggle can determine the height of your success. I was inspired to come out of everything I've been through and end up in a place where I never thought that I would be.

I thought doing reality TV would be the greatest success of my life or the biggest mistake.

Thought is the original source of all wealth all success all material gain all great discoveries and inventions and of all achievement.

The success of Watermark surprised me. I never thought of music as something commercial it was something very personal to me.

I was trying to uphold what I thought feminism was as best I could by supporting women by trying to create an opportunity to get women to get together play music together and celebrate the fact that we are having great success making music on our own and together.

Though I had success in my research both when I was mad and when I was not eventually I felt that my work would be better respected if I thought and acted like a 'normal' person.
