You know what daring really is to me? It's maybe much more simple: the willingness to get up and try it again. It's not about whether or not you fall down, it's how you get back up. And I've taken quite a few tumbles, myself.

It is technically a failure when you don't try.

---

Daring to me is having courage; it's a daily meditation to take breath and find strength.

---

I think that life force is invaluable.

---

Even, today, when people tell me I'm beautiful, I do not believe a word of it.

---

I spent the first fourteen years of my life convinced that my looks were hideous. Adolescence is painful for everyone, I know, but mine was plain weird.

---

Boredom is a great motivator.

---

I was an escapee of childhood. I always wanted to grow up.

---

I think actresses are imagined to be these subjects of great vanity. Life is change; physicality changes. It's transient, and that's a beautiful and a painful thing.

---

I do think that what's wonderful in life is that we gain perspective as we take on different roles that are mind and heart opening.
