Telling the truth. I finally have that with my boyfriend, and that makes me vulnerable constantly. Without vulnerability, you're not really alive. Your vulnerability is your power. Sitting in your house alone, breathing through it. Calling a friend when you need to cry. Being really honest in your therapist's office. Whatever it is. Bringing it into a role, for me. It is your power.

Where the terror is, is where you must go.

It's not like it's perfect at all. But it's there. The love, it's there. The respect. The day to day has to bring you ease and comfort and safety. The waking up in the morning and going to bed at night, and everything in between has to bring you that. Or else what is the point?

Whatever the emotion is, I have learned over the years to give it space, which is also why I love acting.

I spent most of my adult life looking for romantic love.

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

I started dating older men, and I would fall in love with them. I thought they could teach me about life.
