Quote

Anything that I undergo, I look at as redemptive suffering.

I learned during all my career to enjoy suffering.

I see myself in all the people in the world who are suffering and who are very badly treated and who are often made to feel that they have no place on this Earth.

Circumstances in life often take us places that we never intended to go. We visit some places of beauty, others of pain and desolation.

I have a collective sense of suffering.

I'm attracted to subjects who overcome tremendous suffering and learn to cope emotionally with it.

I don't think what I do is influenced by suffering. I come from a talented people who are prolific in music and dance.

The reward of suffering is experience.

A lot of suffering is just getting rid of dross in yourself, and lingering and hanging in the darkness is often - I say this against myself - a failure of imagination, to imagine the door into the light.
