You don't have to save the world, but you can be in the world-that's where the beauty comes from

That's what meditation is. You just sit with yourself.

I have learned the art of filling in your lines with your visuals and your movies and your imagination

When you face your fears, you are free of them. There's nothing in the world I need to hide from again

Early on, my emotional work had to do with feeling unheard and invisible. My parents divorce at six, when I was six, really affected me. We moved around and I was with my mom and my sister. I have learned, by the way, there were amazing gifts that came out of that. For one, I'm living my childhood dream. I feel very fortunate.

I'm a late bloomer. Being a late bloomer is a problem when you decide at 40 you want to have children

If you just sit and spend time with yourself - you were born as you, just you, and that's how you're gonna die. Why do we spend the time in between trying to not be ourselves? That's what meditation is. You just sit with yourself. Through all of it. It's like John Patrick Shanley said: "Where the terror is, you must go." Where the terror is, is where you must go.
