Where the terror is, is where you must go.

Your vulnerability is your power.

When I was in high school I moved from the big city to a tiny village of 500 people in Vermont. It was like The Waltons!

This leaf here took forever to become that perfect leaf. We're that. We're work in progress. That's actually being alive.

To play a bag woman is brave for any woman.

I've been acting since I was a little kid. It was my escape from my day which had to do with a father leaving, and a mother not being home, and her struggling and doing her best and all that. But it wasn't fun. I would go into theater class. If she were a stay-at-home mom, I wouldn't have that discomfort inside that kept me pushing.

How many times have I been in my therapist's office, saying, "I think I'm smarter than this! I've been down this road! I've learned this lesson!" And she's like, "Yeah, and you're learning it a little bit deeper."
