• All I can say is that when millions of plastic dolls of you are being sold each day and an equal number of teenage boys are masturbating over you each night, it's bound to do something screwy to your psyche.

• Some people may contend that there is no image more charming that a child holding a puppy or kitten. But for me that's a distant second. When I see a child clutching a book... to his or her tiny bosom, I'm moved. Children can possess a book in a way they can never possess a video game, a TV show, or a Darth Vader doll. A book comes alive when they read it. They give it life themselves by understanding it.

• People have a different idea of how movies are made than they really are. On a certain level, everyone throws ideas into the hopper. It's not like the actors are wind-up dolls that you push out onto the floor, play with, then put back in the box. You get people around you who you trust; the writer, the producer, the director and all the actors all contribute.

• What we ask is to be human individuals, however peculiar and unexpected. It is no good saying: "You are a little girl and therefore you ought to like dolls"; if the answer is, "But I don't," there is no more to be said.

• Our holiday food splurge was a small crate of tangerines, which we found ridiculously thrilling after an eight-month abstinence from citrus.... Lily hugged each one to her chest before undressing it as gently as a doll. Watching her do that as she sat cross-legged on the floor one morning in pink pajamas, with bliss lighting her cheeks, I thought: Lucky is the world, to receive this grateful child. Value is not made of money, but a tender balance of expectation and longing.

• Little Lotte thought of everything and nothing. Her hair was as golden as the sun's rays, and her soul as clear and blue as her eyes. She wheedled her mother, was kind to her doll, took great care of her frock and her red shoes and her fiddle, but loved most of all, when she went to sleep, to hear the Angel of Music.

• A beautiful woman, Simone Weil said, seeing herself in the mirror, knows "This is I." An ugly woman knows with equal certainty, "This is not I." Maud knew this neat division represented an over-simplification. The doll-mask she saw had nothing to do with her, nothing.

• No es casualidad, creo, que el tenis utilice el lenguaje de la vida. Ventaja, servicio, falta, break, amor, los elementos básicos del tenis son los de la existencia cotidiana, porque cada partido es una vida en miniatura. Incluso la estructura del tenis, la forma en que las piezas encajan unas dentro de otras como muñecas rusas, imita la estructura de nuestros días. Los puntos se convierten en juegos, en sets, en torneos, y todo está tan estrechamente conectado que cualquier punto puede convertirse en el punto de inflexión. Me recuerda la forma en que los segundos se convierten en minutos y las horas en horas, y cualquier hora puede ser la mejor. O la más oscura. Es nuestra elección.

• Siempre he tenido un sentido de la justicia muy desarrollado. De niño, rotaba los vestidos de mis muñecas por miedo a que cobraran vida a medianoche y una de ellas llevara siempre el mejor vestido. Supongo que lo que me hacía preocuparme por mis muñecas ha dado sus frutos en mi carrera porque, en realidad, un actor se basa en la empatía y la imaginación. Y esas son las piedras angulares del activismo.

• Why are tall guys always attracted to short women? Not just moderately short women, either... Tiny women. Polly Pockets. The tallest guys always-always-always go for the shortest girls. Always. It's like they're so infatuated with their own height that they want to be with someone who makes them feel even taller. Someone they can tower over. A little doll that will make them feel even bigger and stronger.

• What's this about?" "Finally. Interest," was the only response. "If this is one of your tricks..." Like the time Torin had ordered hundreds of blow-up dolls and placed them throughout the fortress, all because Paris had foolishly complained about the lack of female companionship in town. The plastic "ladies" had stared our from every corner, their wide eyes and let-me-suck-you mouths taunting everyone who passed them. Things like that happened when Torin was bored.
