Be present. I would encourage you with all my heart just to be present. Be present and open to the moment that is unfolding before you. Because, ultimately, your life is made up of moments. So don't miss them by being lost in the past or anticipating the future.

Families survive, one way or another. You have a tie, a connection that exists long after death, through many lifetimes.

I have been a waitress, and I was a damn fine waitress too, let me tell you.

I had never done Shakespeare before, but I don't think you can be an actor and not do it. There were moments when I thought, I'm just not going to be able to pull this off.

I like to work in costumes, makeup, and hair that allow me tremendous freedom.

At a certain age, death becomes familiar to you-or a loss becomes familiar-the tragedies that are more commonplace in life.

I want to live my life with no goals anymore, but just completely free, like I did when I was younger.
