Quotes

Usually when you see females in movies, they feel like they have these metallic structures around them, they are caged by male energy.

I never really understood the word ‘loneliness’. As far as I was concerned, I was in an orgy with the sky and the ocean, and with nature.

All is full of love,I do not believe in religion, but if I had to choose one, it would be Buddhism. It seems more livable, closer to men.

I am half child, half ancient.

Coincidence makes sense only with you.

I get obsessed by little nerdy things in my corner that no one else is interested in.

I always wanted to be a farmer. There is a tradition of that in my family.

Usually when you see females in movies, they feel like they have these metallic structures around them, they are caged in by male energy. .
