In transgressing the law of nature, the offender declares himself to live by another rule than that of reason and common equity.
"Realism is not about copying nature, but understanding its essence."
"You have to love yourself before you can love someone else."
"Acting is not about being someone different. It's finding the similarity in what is apparently different, then finding myself in there."
It's not always necessary to be better than everyone else, but to be better than you used to be.
