Please don't mistake who I am for who the character is.

Forty percent of the people who are being treated for mental illness are not addressing the physical body.

Feel the power of your legs, hear the orchestra playing, see the audience - anything to make the image more real. The image has to be specific. You can't just say to yourself, 'I'll do my best.' You have to have a mental blueprint of that role in your mind.

I recommend a balance between the therapies that are available, the medicines that are available but not to give up on the body as a result.

I want to destigmatize the words mental illness.

For people with mental illness, taking care of the body is not an automatic thing. The mind is in such chaos it's hard to come up with a plan. So to people like us, it's more important than ever to follow a regimen.

I don't feel that any of my greatness has been covered over.
