It's a lot of fun to just say to people, proudly, 'I get to play the First Lady.' It's just fun to say.

Love is a true unconditional space to me. To love someone or to be loved is to be seen, and I think, gosh, as humans, all we want is to be seen, to be heard, right? To be valued. To be respected. But mostly just to be held in a safe, unconditional space.

I wouldn't make it through the day without singing. It is my solace and my meditation and my release. It lets me know how I'm processing things, what I'm processing, if I'm out of touch in some area.

Sleep is such a potent, liminal state, and I don't want to drag anything in there that doesn't need to be there.

When you guest-star, you're usually at the center of the dramatic arc, so that's fun.

If I'm feeling hurt, sad, lonely, depressed, and then I shame myself for feeling that, then that's a black hole for me. I really have worked a lot to meet pain with both gratitude and gentleness.

'Notorious' is a masterwork. I can watch it every day.
