When I perform on stage, you have to remember my performance or buy another ticket to the party! In television and film, you can see it over and over again.

I had to work from a young age.

I'm naturally a graceful human being. So meditation helps me stay grounded. When we're silent for a moment, it helps us to hear the hum of the universe. Hear the message or what the universe is trying to tell you. It's your inner voice and instinct. If you're hearing that, then you're in the flow of things. It takes years to try and trust that.

I can only control what I do. I can try to suggest and be open, but trust is the key.

Well, with each character that I play in my life as an actor, I try to figure out how to find the challenge.

There's such a grace and understanding in the female persona when women have really come into their own. Part of that is to have children, and to be caring for those children, and not only in the care for them, but also in the nurturing and raising of them, they have to pass on their souls and their intelligence. And all those things can't be taught. It's something that, that in the essence of a woman, the essence of a mother, a mother knows!

It feels amazing to work with writers that write really well.
