It's one of those things that hits you when you're not even looking for it. It's a moment when you find those words surging through your mind - "I feel so alive right now." There's varying degrees of it. Acting definitely makes me feel so remarkably alive. Sitting on a beach or walking through nature makes me come alive always.

Usually you just use these words: "I give you my, I make this commitment to you, I honor this idea between us." For me, commitment boils down to honor. Because you make a commitment to protect our environment, you make a commitment to species preservation, you make a commitment to stop things like human trafficking. You make a commitment to stop smoking, to eat better. Typically, something that is positive. A positive notion of honor.

The quality of life is so much higher anyplace you can ski in the morning and surf in the evening - there's something to be said for that.

It's not who you know, it's who you don't know.

To explore different parts of yourself and different emotional lives... not to hide from who you are but to actually explore who you are.

Men are intimidated by smart women. They make us want to kick up our game more.
