Yoga has allowed me to bring my complete spirit together, which allows me to do less, which is more.

For me, what I try to heal is the major thing that I think all of us go through, where we came from. From our family of origin.

I'm impatient sometimes.

To be a character actor is to be open, to be a chameleon.

We all do things at certain points that are contradictory. Some things, it's a smaller contradiction, and other things it's larger.

I have four daughters, the eldest is 19, the youngest is 12, and I watched all of them journey into motherhood. Motherhood is very deep. It starts when you're very, very young. Now, my 12 year old comes in, wants to put me to bed. And she'll, you know, put her hand on my forehead and say the prayer with me. As for years I've done for her! It's almost like a very beautiful, natural transition.

I feel that if you can transcend the color of your skin, with your talent, why carry that as a badge or a label?
