“It all depends on the way you look at it. The point of view is everything in this world.”

“I want to keep working with the best, keep going and be a better actor each time I go and dive into something.”

When we fall into the trap of getting up each day to reenact an "ordinary" existence, we find ourselves at a level that is merely one of survival.”
“I am not interested in an economic liberation of man without the liberation of the whole man.”
