The woods are lovely, dark and deep. But I have promises to keep, and miles to go before I sleep.
Every day is a journey, and the journey itself is home.
Getting lost was not a matter of geography so much as identity, a passionate desire, even an urgent need, to become no one and anyone, to shake off the shackles that remind you who you are, who others think you are.
Le veritable voyage de decouverte ne consiste pas a chercher de nouveaux paysages, mais a avoir de nouveaux yeux. (The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes.)
A character wandering around asking, 'Who am I?' isn't, in and of itself, a story I'm interested in telling.
We shall not cease from exploration, and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time.
There are people who are seekers and people who aren't.
Relax, you're on a journey of discovery. Let life reveal itself to you.
Fiction, at its best, is a radical act of intimacy. It seeks to join, to merge, to know deeply; and, as with intimacy, there is a way in which it cannot be faked.
There's a problem which is when you're trapped in your own identity and everything is really you, then you feel less freedom to sort of explore who you want to be. So I think it's kind of something we're stuck with as long as humans are the way we are.
Bob Marley isn't my name. I don't even know my name yet.
It's a delicious thing to write. To be no longer yourself but to move in an entire universe of your own creating.
Art is running away without ever leaving home.
Young people, who are still uncertain of their identity, often try on a succession of masks in the hope of finding the one which suits them - the one, in fact, which is not a mask.
I just like the prospect of playing lots of different types of characters and just the opportunity to challenge yourself, do something different and surprise people.
I'm in a space of surrendering and being open and seeing. It's a good place to be - the only place to be.
The flesh is the surface of the unknown.
We just kind of lost our way. But we were looking to be free. One day we'll float. Take life as it comes.
Life is what we make of it. Travel is the traveler. What we see isn't what we see but what we are.
I've really come into my own as an artist. I'm much more sure of my identity and understand it much better, and have accepted the fact that I like to jump around a lot in terms of who I am and what kind of music I create, and that it is okay - in fact, that is my main identity, the fact that I do that.
An artist is an explorer. He has to begin by self-discovery and by observation of his own procedure. After that he must not feel under any constraint.
I think there's so much to play in adolescence; there's so many conflicting things happening and so many changes, and there's just a lot of good stuff to play there as an actor.
It's in our nature. We need to explore and find out what's going on outside of who we are.
And you're figuring out who you are, and you haven't yet become stagnant in your thinking. You haven't solidified. And one thing that I find is that a lot of grown-ups tend to look back on their high school or middle school years and say, "Oh, thank God all that's over."
I write. I imagine. The act of imagining in itself enlivens me. I am not frozen and paralyzed before the predator. I invent characters. At times I feel as if I am digging up people from the ice in which reality enshrouded them, but maybe, more than anything else, it is myself that I am now digging up.
