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

I think you choose how you walk through this life. I think if you choose to participate in a paradigm that is looks-based, if you're an actor, then it can be empowering in some ways, and it can be really limiting in some ways in terms of time and longevity.

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

I will just think, why am I singing? Then I will know everything I need to know about what I'm feeling.

The smallest act has repercussions for the universe.

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.

There are a lot of women who feel that they have done all the work in their relationship only for someone else to step in and take the love and credit for it.
