Andrea Riseborough

Sometimes I can think of nothing more blissful than going to Berkeley and reading Byron for three years.

I subscribe to no religion. But I believe that in the creation of art, there can be moments of God.

Sometimes you need to break away from something in order to know how much you need or want it.

Joyfulness keeps the heart and face young. A good laugh makes us better friends with ourselves and everybody around us.

The model should only serve the very private function for the painter of providing the starting point for his excitement.

If you're not having a good time, find something else that gives you some joy in life.
