There's a lot of life on the planet that needs love, wants love, deserves love, in whatever capacity we are able.

I foster a lot. Not humans, animals.

I used to be so hard on myself. So hard on myself. Just my own worst critic to the nth degree. Absolutely undermining my confidence in every moment. Bad tape in my head all the time.

I'd love to go back and do theater. There's nothing like that instant response and the connection to a live audience.

I have to welcome the pain like I welcome the joy.

Nothing is all good or all bad, nothing is black or white, everything is just messy and human and difficult.

The pain is always bringing me a lesson. If I listen to the lesson when the pain is manageable, the pain won't get gargantuan and flatten me entirely, because I will have received the message at the center. I receive it as gently as I can, because the cruelest thing that I do to myself is try to push myself through an experience.
