So why do I talk about the benefits of failure? Simply because failure meant a stripping away of the inessential. I stopped pretending to myself that I was anything other than what I was, and began to direct all my energy into finishing the only work that mattered to me.

我不害怕坠入爱河，我只怕爱错了人。

I like to work with actors who are not afraid to take risks.

活着是世界上最罕见的事，大多数人只是存在，仅此而已。
